JEE Main can be attempted by anyone who has cleared class 12 with at least five subjects. Though the JEE Main question paper is based on PCM, it is not necessary to have these as main subjects

The change in the question paper format is being introduced to accommodate school Boards that have reduced class 11 and 12 syllabus and those that haven’t, officials said. “Kerala, for instance, hasn’t cut its high school syllabus, while CBSE has. So the JEE-Main has to cover both. Hence the decision made to ask candidates to attempt 75 out of 90 questions,” said an official.

The application process for JEE Main is likely to commence soon. Anyone who has cleared class 12 exam in 2019, 2018 and 2020 can apply for this exam. Those awaiting their result can also apply. There is no upper age limit.

JEE Main will have a new paper pattern from next year. All candidates appearing will have to attempt 75 questions out of 90 – or 25 out of questions 30 in each section of chemistry, physics and mathematics. Students did not have a choice of questions until this year.
