Missed Class 12 Boards Due to Illness: Can I Appear for JEE Advanced 2025 and 2026?

Ans: In the case of JEE Advanced, eligibility criteria are based on the year of first appearance for the Class 12th (or equivalent) board exam, provided the candidate has passed the exam. Since you were absent from all Class 12th board exams and practicals in the 2023–24 academic year due to medical reasons, this would not be considered your first attempt or year of passing Class 12th. Your first valid attempt will be in the 2024–25 academic year when you appear and pass as a regular candidate.

Here’s how this affects your JEE Advanced eligibility:

JEE Advanced 2025: You are eligible because your first appearance in the Class 12th board exams will be in 2024–25.

JEE Advanced 2026: You will also be eligible because candidates are allowed to attempt JEE Advanced in the year of their Class 12th passing and the subsequent year. Since your first valid Class 12th attempt is in 2024–25, your eligibility extends to 2025 and 2026.
This is as per my knowledge. For any update, follow rules and regulations from JEE board website.

Ans: Heera, The eligibility for JEE Advanced 2025 and 2026 relies on how the test authorities see your situation about your attempts in the Class 12 board exams. Candidates can try JEE Advanced two times in successive years maximum. The first year a candidate shows up for the complete set of tests appears in Class 12. That year is not regarded as an attempt or appearance if you missed all Class 12 board tests for medical reasons and did not receive a result. Your legitimate first look will land around 2024–25. Get in touch with the JEE Advanced officials, show medical credentials, and offer paperwork proving your first honest attempt in Class 12 exams to confirm your eligibility. You will be qualify for JEE Advanced 2025 and 2026 if you re-registered for 2024–25 after missing the tests in 2023–24 for a legitimate medical reason.

Right now, only pay close attention to getting ready for the JEE/Other Engineering Entrance Exam.

Value Addition Suggestion: Instead of depending just on JEE, have Plan B and Plan C, appearing for 5-7 Entrance Exams.

All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Ans: Hello dear.
If you have health problems and failed in board exams in 2023, 2,4, and 25 then I would like to suggest you clear your 12th from the NIOS board if possible. The examination pattern is simple as compared to state or CBSE boards. But this is just an option for you. But if you are comfortable with your existing board, then you can appear in 2026, and take care that you must score min 75% in the board examination to be eligible for JEE (Adv). First clear Board Exam 2026 with 75%, then JEE (Main) with the required cut-off, and then JEE (Adv). But you are eligible for JEE (Main) and not JEE (Adv). For more clarity, I suggest you read the latest brochure of JEE (Adv/Main) released by NTA and IIT.
Best of luck to your upcoming examinations and bright future.
