Hello,
A candidate who meets the eligibility guidelines for JEE Main and JEE Advanced can appear for both exams. JEE Main is the gateway for JEE Advanced exam. While we talk about JEE Advanced eligibility the very first thing which candidate needs to fulfill is JEE Advanced Qualification marks or we can say JEE Mains score. Candidates must check out the category wise qualifying marks of JEE Main to appear for JEE Advanced. And only top 2, 50, 000 JEE Main Qualifiers can appear for JEE Advanced. Thus, to be AJEE Main Qualifier, you will have to appear for it. Thanks. -
Yes, JEE Main is the gateway for JEE Advanced exams. JEE Mains score is required while filing the forms for JEE Advanced.
