Dear
According to the information yes, students who have scored less than 75% in their Karnataka Board exams can still appear for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. However, there are specific criteria for eligibility:
There is no specific minimum percentage required in the 12th board exams to appear for JEE Mains. Students just need to have passed their 12th standard or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
For JEE Advanced, the criteria include being among the top 2,50,000 candidates in JEE Mains.
Students should have secured at least 75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) in their 12th standard board exams or be in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective boards.
If a student doesn't meet the 75% mark but still falls within the top 20 percentile of their board, they are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.
Thanks.
