Ans: The eligibility for JEE Advanced and IIT admissions depends on specific criteria set by the Joint Admission Board (JAB). For IIT admissions, candidates must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in their Class 12 or equivalent exam. If you added Mathematics as a private candidate through CBSE in 2025, your eligibility depends on whether JAB recognizes CBSE Private as an equivalent qualification. If you clear JEE Main and meet the JEE Advanced cutoff in 2025, you qualify for JEE Advanced. However, for IIT admissions, the final decision will be based on whether CBSE Private Mathematics (2025) is accepted as a valid qualification. If CBSE Private Mathematics is not accepted, you may not be eligible for IITs but could explore other engineering colleges with flexible subject criteria. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.
