Sir should I fill the improvement form now or should I fill the form for private candidate OR Is there any other way so that I can give JEE 2026 please sir guide me.

Ans: Santosh, If you are not satisfied with your 60% in UP Board Class 12, you can appear for the improvement exam next year to improve your marks. This is recommended if you want to meet higher percentage criteria for some colleges or for better confidence in JEE. As Private Candidate: If you want to appear as a private candidate, you can do so through UP Board. This is similar to the improvement exam, but is usually chosen if you need to reappear in all subjects or if you missed regular exams. For most students, the improvement exam is sufficient. For JEE Main, you must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized board. For admission to IITs, NITs, and CFTIs, you must have at least 75% marks (or be in the top 20 percentile) in your board exams. If you want to get into IITs, NITs, or top engineering colleges, improving your board marks to 75% or above is important. Fill the improvement exam form for UP Board for 2026. This will allow you to improve your marks and use the new mark sheet for JEE admissions. You can appear for JEE 2026 as long as you pass Class 12 in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Keep preparing for both JEE and your improvement exam. All the best for your Bright Future!
