I am sorry to say that there is no relaxation for OBC candidates for JEE Main examination.
Candidates those who have completed their class 12th studying PCM as a subject combination with a minimum of 75% of marks in it are eligible for JEE Main examination.

You must appear for the improvement examination in order to increase your percentage of marks to be eligible for JEE Main examination.
