but sir i hadn't passed my class 12th in 2024 my very first passing year of class 12th is 2025 so my jee advanced valid 2 year must be 2025 and 2026 right?? i failed in 3 exams in 2024 as i pass through a critical road excident i wasnt able to write exam so 2025 should be my 1st 12th year acc to josaa kyuki ma 1st time pass hi ab hua hu sir

Ans: You appeared for 12th grade in 2024 and failed, which counts as your first attempt. No matter whether you pass or fail, the attempt is counted. Hence, you were eligible to appear for JEE (Adv) only in 2024 and 2025. As I already said, focus only on JEE (Mains) now to get admission to one of the top NITs. The final decision will be yours.

Ans: Ansh, you haven’t mentioned whether you have joined any coaching (offline or online). If not, it’s highly recommended to enroll in a reputed coaching center near your residence. Smart preparation is key, and I have shared several JEE preparation strategies here on the RediffGURU platform—please go through them and follow the ones that suit you best.

Additionally, always have a Plan B & Plan C by appearing for 5-6 other engineering entrance exams as backup options. This will give you more choices and flexibility in selecting the best institute for your future.

Regarding your eligibility, based on the information provided, you are eligible for JEE Advanced 2026. The criteria allow candidates to attempt JEE Advanced twice in two consecutive years. Since you are completing Class 12 in 2025, you can attempt JEE Advanced in both 2025 and 2026. Your gap year due to health reasons does not impact eligibility.

However, stay updated with the official JEE Advanced website for any changes in eligibility criteria.

Wishing you all the best for your JEE and other engineering entrance exams!
