Dear Student, 

The eligibility criteria of 75% marks in higher secondary is only applicable to the JEE Advanced exam. However, to appear for the JEE Main 2025 exam you need not have 75% marks in 10+2. If you have qualified 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Math, then you are eligible to appear for the JEE Main 2025. We hope that we have answered your questions successfully. Stay tuned to CollegeDekho for the latest updates related to the JEE Main 2025. All the best for your great future ahead!
