Hope you are doing well!

The basic requirement to take JEE Main exam is to pass 10+2 examination. Apart from this, Aadhar card is a mandatory document without which, you will not be considered eligible for the exam.

*It is mandatory for a you aspiring to take JEE Main  to pass the qualifying exam with 5 subjects in total. If 4 subjects are taken in the exam, the candidature will not be considered valid.

Qualifying marks:

• For general category candidates- minimum  75% marks in aggregate.

You can appear for up to 3 times for the Joint Entrance Exam.

And there is no relaxation for you belonging to reserved category.
