Sir , I give jee mains 2024 60%ile Boards ( cbse ) 60 % and failed in maths Give jee mains ( april ) 80% ile Failed in maths compartment exam Decided to give improvement in all 5 subjects in 2025 Give jee mains jan _ 67 % ile My cbse boards are not going well I think I need to give improvement next year (2026) I know that I can give jee adv 2025 But can I give jee advanced 2026 if I stayed in cbse or should I change board to nios to give jee advanced 2026 It would be very ^100 helpful if you share your Wisdom .

Ans: Given your performance in board exams, particularly in Mathematics, I strongly recommend having a Plan B and Plan C instead of solely focusing on JEE, considering various factors. However, to address your query, here’s a brief clarification:

Your eligibility for JEE Advanced is primarily determined by the year of your first Class XII attempt. Since you first appeared for the exam in 2024, you are eligible to take JEE Advanced in 2025, but not in 2026. Changing your board to NIOS or any other alternative will not reset your eligibility, as the first attempt year remains unchanged. All the best for your admissions!
