i gave my first jee mains atempt in 2024 but didnt qualified but due to some reason i passed my 12 board in 2025 and in 2025 i gave jee mains but didnt qualified i know i am eligible for 1 more jee mains but i am doubt full of my jee advance tempt in 2026

Ans: Golu, With a 2025 Class 12 completion and JEE Main attempts in 2024 (pre-boards) and 2025, you remain eligible for JEE Main 2026 (third consecutive year post-12th), offering two attempts (January/April). However, JEE Advanced 2026 eligibility requires qualifying JEE Main 2026 (top 2.5 lakh rank) and meeting the two-attempt limit over consecutive years (2025–2026 or 2026–2027). Since you did not qualify in 2024/2025, focus on JEE Main 2026 to secure a rank enabling JEE Advanced 2026 (final attempt in 2027 if needed). If unsuccessful, prioritize state exams or private universities like VIT/BITS via BITSAT, leveraging your 2025 board marks. If engineering remains the goal, viable alternatives include direct B.Tech admissions at institutes like Amity, SRM, or LPU (via 12th scores) and diploma lateral entry programs (e.g., SRMU, UMU). All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
