Should IITs provide 3rd attempt for JEE Advanced this year?

Ans: Welcome back.
I would like to request you, instead of criticizing the decisions taken by related authorities, just focus on your studies. If you are interested in cracking JEE, then you have to follow the rules laid down by the respective institutions. You have no right to compare the rules between the two authorities. I would like to suggest that, if you won't be able to crack the JEE (Adv) in 1st attempt, then choose a different career path. Because 99% of students won't get success in their 2nd or so-called 3rd-attempt. Now, please focus only on your studies. If you failed to crack the 1st attempt, then please communicate with us again. At that time, I would suggest you more options.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Ans: Hello Dear.
Whatever you have read on the JEE (Adv) website is true. To fulfill your dream of appearing for JEE (Adv) you have to clear 12th grade once again. The choice of NIOS will be best for you. But instead of trying hard to JEE (Adv), I would like to suggest as: (1) based on JEE (Main) score or your state-level engineering entrance score, take the admission to reputed engineering college (2) Appear for the GATE exam in the final year (3) Crack GATE and get direct admission to PG in prestigious IITs. This is the safest and easiest way to get a degree from IIT, and that too, P.G.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: After a detailed review of the most recent and authoritative sources, the Joint Admission Board (JAB) initially announced in November 2024 that candidates could attempt JEE Advanced three times in three consecutive years, but reversed this decision on November 18, 2024, restoring the original rule of only two attempts in two consecutive years. The Supreme Court intervened to grant a special exception only for those students who, relying on the initial three-attempt announcement, dropped out of their courses between November 5 and November 18, 2024; these students alone are eligible for a third attempt in 2025. For all other candidates, including those who took a drop year and are now eligible for their second attempt, the two-attempt policy remains firmly in place. While there is ongoing agitation and legal petitions from students seeking reinstatement of the three-attempt rule, as of now, there is no official indication or precedent that JAB will reintroduce the third attempt policy for 2025 or beyond, and the Supreme Court has upheld JAB’s discretion on this matter. Therefore, you should proceed with your current options, as the likelihood of a policy change this year is extremely low, and planning for a third attempt would be unrealistic under the present regulations. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!
