Not that jee mains is conducted twice in a year, it is conducted twice at the end of the academic year, the selecting criterion for the JEE Advanced is the prescribed qualifying marks for JEE Mains. Accourding to my view this exam is conducted twice for the betterment of CBSE student, as there syllabus is completed more or less by the end of feburary, and first phase is in January. The selection criterion for the JEE Mains is BEST OF TWO, and if the selected best aggregate is equal or more for the qualifying percentile then they are selected for the JEE Advanced.

There are cutoff marks for different categories to opt for JEE Advanced. Candidates need to clear the cutoff percentile to sit for JEE Advanced. However if a candidate appears in both the session of JEE Main, the best score between the two sessions, is considered for final JEE Main result. If the candidate clears the cutoff in final result, he or she may opt for JEE Advanced. Candidate may opt for just one session of JEE Main too, that means it is not compulsory to appear in both session.

Hope you understand. Good luck.
