You can admission to NITs, IIITs, and other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) on the basis of score obtained in JEE Mains. It is not compulsory to appear in JEE Advanced exam to take admission in these institutes.

But if you wish to get IITs, then you have to appear in JEE Advanced. JEE Advanced is conducted to offer admissions in Bachelor’s, Integrated Master’s or Bachelor’s Master dual degree course in IITs.
