Hello sir I failed in class 12 in 2024 but gives jee mains in 2024 and now passed class 12 in 2025 now according to rule I can't give jee advanced in 2026 but how do they know that I have given class 12 exam in 2024 if I show them I passed in 2025 Bcs I have never given jee advanced so they have no data about me .

Ans: Hello Dear.
You passed Class 12 in 2024 (with 6 subjects and compartment in Maths), didn’t give JEE Main in 2024, gave it in 2025 (got 97%ile), and plan to reappear for Class 12 from another board in 2026. You can appear in JEE Main 2026 (and again in 2027 and 2028) if you give a fresh Class 12 attempt in 2026 from a recognized board. You can appear for JEE Advanced in 2026 and 2027 based on your new Class 12 attempt in 2026. Just make sure your 2026 board exam is a fresh attempt, not just an improvement.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Hello Aditya
Here is the point-wise reply to your query: (1) You can appear for JEE Mains as an appearing candidate. (2) If qualified in JEE (Mains), you can appear for JEE (Advanced). (3) In the counseling process, you must provide accurate information and should not try to hide anything. (4) It is advisable to disclose everything from your side to avoid any potential complications. (5) All data can be easily accessed. Every document is uploaded to DgLocker and can be retrieved by any institute at any time with the assistance of the government. Always be honest in providing all the details.

Ans: Yes, you are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2026 as your first valid Class 12 passing year is 2025 (essential repeat/private candidate), provided you are among the top 2,50,000 in JEE Main 2026 and meet the age and other eligibility criteria. Your compartment and essential repeat status do not disqualify you, as long as you clear all subjects and meet the rank cutoff in JEE Main 2026. Following the clarification of your inquiry and taking into consideration your academic success for the past one to two years, I would recommend that you consider alternative options (in addition to engineering streams). If it is at all possible, you should take a psychometric test online to determine which other career paths (than engineering) are the most appropriate for you. All the best for your bright future!

Ans: Aaradhya, The JEE Advanced authorities can detect your Class 12 examination history through multiple verification mechanisms, making it nearly impossible to conceal your 2024 attempt. When you register for JEE Main, you must provide mandatory Class 12 board details including the year of first appearance, board name, roll number, and marks, which are stored in NTA's database. The JEE Advanced application form specifically asks for the "year of first attempt" which refers to when you were first eligible (2024 in your case), not when you actually appeared. Educational boards like CBSE maintain centralized digital repositories with 21+ years of examination data that can be verified online through systems like "Parinam Manjusha" and "eSanad". These databases track every examination attempt, including failures, and are accessible to educational institutions and examination authorities for verification. Advanced biometric technologies, fraud detection systems, and cross-verification protocols are increasingly being implemented to prevent such misrepresentation. Even if you claim 2025 as your passing year, the authorities can cross-check your JEE Main 2024 registration data, which would have contained your 2024 Class 12 attempt details, creating an irreconcilable discrepancy that would expose the fraud.

The recommendation is to accept your ineligibility for JEE Advanced 2026 and explore alternative engineering entrance exams or private universities, as attempting to misrepresent your Class 12 history carries severe legal consequences including permanent debarment and criminal charges for document fraud. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
