Hi! Yes, you are indeed eligible for JEE Mains and Advanced in 2021. For JEE Mains,

1. You should have passed their class 12 examination in 2019 or 2020, which you have! Remember one thing though- only three consecutive attempts are allowed for JEE Mains, so be careful. There is no age limit, so that shouldn't be a problem as well. A gap of one year after 10th won't have any effect here. So you need not worry about that.

2. You should obtain a minimum qualifying score in the paper. For different categories, the qualifying score is different.

3 You should have taken at least five subjects for the 12th class or qualifying exam (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics compulsory). So if you took these subjects, you are eligible for JEE Mains. In order to apply for Advance, you need to qualify in JEE Mains first. Remember, you can only give Advanced twice, so prepare wisely.

Hello Aspirant, hope you are doing good.

So, to answer your question, Yes you can definitely appear for JEE Mains 2021. Year gap(s) after class 10th doesn't hamper your candidature in both JEE mains and JEE advanced , so don't worry much about that. All that is important is whether you passed class 12 with the qualifying percentage , then only you are eligible for JEE Mains and advanced.

Hope this helps you. GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Aspirant!

According to official guidelines released by NTA you have to score above 75% to give the JEE Main exam and one can give it three times.Hence if this is your first tiime you can surely give the exam.There is no change in guideline if you fail in one exam and again pass the exam to give JEE MAIN.

Hence you can give the exam.

I hope it helps!
