Hello Aspirant,

Yes of course it would be Ok because if you are seeking admission in NITs/IIITs/CFTIs then you can get admission in these institutions on the basis of JEE-Main score and JEE-Advance is required for admission to IITs. So if you don't want to go for IITs then you can appear only for JEE-Main and there is no any kind of compulsion that you have to appear for JEE-Advance if you qualify JEE-Main, it's totally your choice. Because NITs are also good enough institutions and some good NITs are NIT Jaipur, NIT Warangal, NIT Allahabad and so on.

If you are starting your preparation of JEE-Main then it is better to start it with standard books that are enlisted below :-
