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.)

sir am 26 yrs old . and I was doing company secretary couse but unfortunately couldn't clear in 2024 i join my father's personl office he was a accountant and later started his own firm and he was a advocate.. but sometimes I feel that ca degree is important for our office work when it comes to audit . so for providing ace to office I want to pursue ca but it's too hard as am not able to clear cs like ( 199 ) marks left with only 1 marks to pass . so I have a doubt that am not able to pas cs so how can I pass ca . i don't talk with my parents about my this thinking .. it's like am able to clear cs ? with ofc ? or not ? or it's just a bad decision for me ! please sir replyyyt !
Ans: Dear Priyanka,

Thank you for being so honest about everything!

Do you like CA and CS first of all? This is the first question you have to ask yourself!

The next question I want to you ask yourself is, ‘am I scoring less marks because I have not studied / lack of interest or lack of understanding of concepts?’ Seek help if you really want to clear these exams!

Next question is ask yourself , “what comes naturally to me and I love doing it?”. It can be anything…. cooking, baking, teaching, accounting, handling customers in your dad’s office, taking care of office administration, etc, list out everything and then home down to one thing and start working on it with honesty of purpose, let that become your way to earning money!

And please sit and have a heart to heart chat with your parents!
If verbal communication is a problem, write a letter to them… I am giving you options, choose what is comfortable to you , but talk to your parents!

All the very best…
