Hello Aspirant,

See it does not matter when you had passed your class 10th, what matters is when you had passed class 12th because your class 12th appearing year decides your state of eligibility. So even if you pass 12th in 2021 from NIOS board then also you would be eligible for JEE-Main 2022 because open board students are also allowed to take part in JEE-Main.

Also you need to satisfy some criterion in order to appear for JEE-Main so let us discuss them.

1--- Age criteria :- There is no age limit to appear in JEE-Main but note that there might be the age limit in any particular institution taking admission through JEE-Main score, so you should keep this thing in mind.

2--- Qualifying Examination :- To be eligible for JEE-Main one should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Mathematics as mandatory subjects along with any one of the Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/ Technical Vocational subject from any of the recognized central or state board.

3--- Year of qualification :- For JEE-Main 2022 only those candidates who have passed Class 12 / equivalent examination in 2020, 2021 or 2022; or those who would be appearing in Class 12th / equivalent examination in 2022, would be eligible to appear.
