No, the 75% eligibility criteria for JEE Main has not been removed for JEE 2026 as per the latest official announcements from NTA (National Testing Agency). The eligibility criteria remain the same, with candidates needing at least 75% marks in Class 12 or be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards to be eligible for admission to IITs and NITs.

For JEE Main: Students who meet the minimum percentage requirement in Class 12 can appear for JEE Main.
For JEE Advanced: The 75% rule applies specifically for eligibility to JEE Advanced and subsequent admissions into IITs.

However, there are discussions and updates expected every year, so it is important to check official sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
