Since your cutoff score in 12th is 120, it is advisable to check the eligibility criteria for JEE Main and the specific requirements for your category. Generally, you need a minimum of 75% marks in 12th or be in the top 20 percentile of your board to be eligible.

HEY THERE!!!

Yes, you can appear for the JEE Main exam if you have a 12th cutoff of 120 marks as long as you have passed all the subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) that are needed and fulfill other eligibility conditions like age and number of attempts.

JEE Main Eligibility (2025):

  • Applicants should have cleared the 12th standard (or equivalent) exam with Physics and Mathematics as mandatory subjects and one of Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational subjects.
  • There is no minimum percentage to appear for JEE Main; you just need to pass the qualifying examination.
  • But for admission in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, you need to have a minimum of 75% marks in 12th standard (or be among the top 20 percentile of your board). In case of SC/ST candidates, a minimum of 65% is required.
  • Conclusion:
    You can attend the JEE Main exam with a 12th cutoff of 120 marks as long as you have passed all required subjects. However, for admission to NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, you must also meet their specific percentage or percentile requirements.
