So the minimum percentage scored in 12th Class is generally considered to appear in JEE Main Examination. So the marks secured in 12th Class is not considered for appearing in JEE Advanced Examination.

Basic Criteria to appear in JEE Advanced:

>> Candidates must be among the top 2,00,000 in JEE Main Examination.
