Hello there. Hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that it is not mandatory to have JEE Main sore in order to get admission in an engineering degree. However, it is always advisable to take JEE Mains exam as almost all the colleges accept JEE Mains score for engineering programmes. But there are many private colleges also which conducts their own entrance exam for engineering courses and does not require you to have JEE Mains score.

I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future.
