He had a disappointing third round with bogeys on 17th and 18th holes.
Jeev has so far shot rounds of 71, 73 and 74 and is two-over 218 for 54 holes.
Late on Friday, Shiv Kapur (72-74) and the Indo-Swede Daniel Chopra (71-78) missed the cut.
Jeev had a bumpy front nine with four bogeys and two birdies and then two birdies on 11th and 14th brought him back to par before the closing bogeys put him back again.
The leaders were yet to start, but last week's winner at Irish Open Soren Kjeldsen made a big move on third day as he was four-under through six holes and had moved from up from tied 24th to tied third alongside little known English Callum Shinkwin, who was five-under through seven holes in third round.
Both Kjeldsen and Shinkwin were seven-under for the tournament and two behind the Swedish leaders, amateur Marcus Kinhult (67-68) and Jen Danthorp (67-68).
Swedish teenager Kinhult became only the second amateur in European Tour history to lead at the end of the first two rounds when he took a share of the lead at the halfway stage.
Local man Jens Dantorp, who shared the overnight lead with the 18-year-old amateur, carded four birdies on his front nine before picking up another shot at the 14th to join Kinhult at the top of the leaderboard here.
The co-leaders are not the only Swedish players fighting at the top of the leaderboard, with Sebastian Soderberg two shots behind them and Alex Noren a further shot back on six under par.
Germany's Maximilian Kieffer, who looked set to top the leaderboard before carding back-to-back bogeys at the 17th and 18th, is two shots off the lead, while England's Eddie Pepperell and Tom Lewis are three shots behind the leaders.
