Hello Aspirant,

Eligibility criteria for NITs in India-

For admissions in NITs & other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, apart from qualifying JEE Main, the eligibilityis to secure a minimum of 75% marks in XII Board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying examinations.

So it is not necessary to crack JEE advanced to get admission in NITs. If you qualify JEE mains then you are eligible for it.

Here I'm sharing a website below for detailed information please visit the same.

Hi aspirant,
No it's not possible to join IIT through JEE mains.
JEE Mains is conducted for the admission in NITs. Whereas JEE advanced is conducted for the admission in IITs. So it's really necessary to write JEE advanced and qualify it to join any IITs.
Hope this information helps you.
All the best

No admission in IITs are totally based on jee advanced , you need to qualify jee advanced to get a seat in IITs. However there are some other exams like UCEED through which you can take admission in IIT Bombay but not in btech program .
