As I said earlier, the improvement exam gives you the chance to reappear for boards and improve your marks once again. 
It’s important and crucial for any students who want to clear some competitive exams such as JEE mains and JEE advance because you need to have at least a 75% aggregate percentage in your 12th board to appear for JEE advance. So if you are dreaming to get into IIT then giving JEE is crucial.
