I hope this helps.

Dear Piyush

If you are unable to fill the JEE mains percentage eligibility criteria for the admission in IIT/NIT or any other governmental institutions then you may can give the improvement exam. Improvement exam is mainly given by the aspirant inorder to improve their class 12th percentage. It totally depends on them. Overall it's not at all compulsory.

All the best
