JEE stands for Joint Entrance Examination.

CBSE has clearly mentioned that those who appear for board exams of 10+2 are eligible to apply for Joint Entrance Examination regardless of age. If you are appearing for board examination of 10+2 in 2017 then you can apply for JEE Main at age of 16 years.

JEE Main is of 360 marks. To get admission in top NITs, you need to score well in this exam. Percentage of marks scored in board exam of 10+2 will also be taken into consideration for final scorecard of JEE Main and its rank. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is necessary in 10+2 for this examination.

--> JEE is held by CBSE once every year in two stages which involves JEE Mains followed by JEE Advanced.

--> The minimum qualification which you must have for appearing in the same examination are as here under :-

* You must have completed your Class 12th with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as your main subjects with at least 45% aggregate in the same from a recognized board of education.

a) You must be an Indian resident.

b) Your age must lie under 25 years by the 31st December 2018. There is no minimum age limit like medical entrance examination.

c) You must have completed your Class 12th or must be in the final year of same with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects and at least 45% marks in the same from a recognized board of examination.
