Hi

Actually, there's no percentage barrier to be eligible for JEE mains

As ,
Eligibility criteria says that to be eligible for JEE mains 2021 for BE or Btech you just need to be either appearing for 12th board exam or equivalent in 2021 or should have passed it in 2020 or 2019 with Physics, mathematics and anyone of Chemistry or Biology or Biotechnology or Technical Vocational Subject.

Now,

Here's what 75 % relaxation is :-

To be eligible for NITs, IIITs, CFTIs,  one needs at least 75% marks in aggregate in class 12 if belong to general or obc category or at least 65% marks if belongs to SC/ST or must be in the top 20 percentile in class 12 examination but for this year i. e 2021, this percentage barrier has been lifted off and now there's no minimum percentage requirement to be eligible. Even for JEE advanced for IITs this year there is no percentage barrier

Also,
There is a small change in JEE Mains examination pattern , in your jee mains 2021 there will be 30 questions in each subject ,20 questions will be MCQs and rest 10 questions will be questions with numerical value as the answer , out of which only 5 questions are to be attempted.

Now, that
Limited time is left for jee mains 2021 , so to prepare well for your jee examination, go through chapters first and your focus should be on grasping concepts , practising questions and then revising them, go through mock test papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.
