Question by TopG on Aug 03, 2025Hindi

But sir according to JEE advance rule A candidate should have appeared for the Class XII (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2025 or 2026 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Candidates who had appeared in Class XII (or equivalent) examination for the first time in 2024 or earlier, are NOT eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2026, irrespective of the combination or number of subjects attempted/offered. I think I am not eligible please reply I am in huge trouble

Ans: According to the latest official eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced 2026, candidates are only eligible if they appeared for their Class XII (or equivalent) examination for the first time in 2025 or 2026 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Students who appeared for the first time in 2024 or earlier, regardless of the combination or number of subjects attempted or subsequent reappearances, are not eligible to apply for JEE Advanced 2026. This rule is strictly implemented by the exam authorities to ensure fairness and compliance, and appearance is determined by the declaration of results by the respective board, not merely by subject combination or exam re-sitting. Other requirements include qualifying among the top 2,50,000 in JEE Main 2026, an age threshold of being born on or after October 1, 2000 (with 5-year relaxation for SC, ST, PwD), and a maximum of two consecutive attempts allowed for JEE Advanced.

You are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2026 if you first appeared for your Class XII or equivalent examination in 2024 or any year earlier, irrespective of subsequent exams or subject combinations. Consider alternate pathways for your engineering career aspirations. (I recommend considering a Psychometric Test to identify career options best suited to your strengths and interests. Rather than focusing solely on JEE preparation—especially given repeated attempts with compartment exams—this approach can provide clearer guidance for your future and help you find pathways that align with your abilities and goals.)
