The National Testing Agency (NTA) publishes the JEE Main requirements on its website. Candidates must satisfy the qualifying conditions to register for the JEE Main Test 2024. It includes information like minimum age, maximum age, nationality, and Class 12 grade point average. Those who apply but don't satisfy these criteria won't even be considered.
Candidates for the JEE Main test in 2024 do not need to be a certain age. All students, regardless of age, who have completed or will complete the class 12/equivalent test in 2022, 2023, or 2024 are qualified to sit for the JEE Main 2024 exam. However, prospective students should check the age restrictions of their chosen schools before applying.
Soon, you'll be able to find the JEE Main Notice 2024 posted on the official website. The announcement includes information about the required participation qualifications, exam dates, format, and content. To sit for the JEE Main test, applicants must have obtained their 10+2 diploma from an accredited school or board.
JEE Main 75% Criteria:
No matter your grade point average in class 12, you may still take JEE Main. Candidates should be informed that a certain grade point average (GPA) in high school is not required.
The Government of India has abolished the minimum qualifying requirement of 75% marks for admission to the institute in 2020, 2021, and 2022 because of the COVID-19 conditions.
The NTA's most recent eligibility standards bring back the 75% cutoff. The minimum qualifying grade point average for candidates from the SC/ST category is 65%.
