JEE Main Application Form

There is no minimum or maximum percentage required to appear in JEE Main. However, candidate need to have 75% marks in class 12 in addition to a valid JEE Main rank in order to get admission in NITs, IIITs and other CFTIs.Candidates can appear for the JEE Mains exam without 75% marks in their qualifying exam. The 75% criteria is only applicable at the time of admission into NITs, IIITs and GFTIs and for appearing in JEE Advanced.Admission to the IITs has an eligibility criteria for twelfth grade marks. For general category students, it is 75% aggregate in at least five subjects (65% for SC, ST, and PwD aspirants). If you do not meet these requirements, you will have to opt for improvement exams. 

That is why you cannot change your category from General to OBC in your JEE Main application form after the JEE Advanced paper. Under the JEE rules, candidates can avail of category change only during the JEE Main correction window but the correction window only opens for 2-3 days. Again, alterations cannot be made once the correction window has been closed. The reason behind this is that JEE Advanced is conducted after the JEE Main therefore changes in your category are not allowed after writing the JEE Advanced paper. About 27% of the seats are reserved for OBC candidates but for that you ahs to have applied at the time of JEE Main in the right OBC category.

If you mistakenly mentioned the wrong 12th passing year in the application form of JEE Main and the correction window is already closed, chances are that your form is not rejected, but it is always safer to check with the NTA directly. Minor errors that are not affecting your eligibility chances are rarely going to lead to the rejection of your forms.However, since the window for correction is now closed, there is no other chance of correction of this detail. But it is important that any other information in your application should be correct and matching with your academic records. To get specific guidance about this and to know if your application will be impacted or not, contact NTA's helpline or its support services for further clarity.
