I Passed my class 12th with 85% in 2024 with subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology ( PCB )of Maharashtra board. I want to appear in JEE Mains Exam in January session of 2025. For this I am going to give Mathematics isolated Exam in February but I will get it's Marksheet in June 2025. (1) What should I fill in the Application Form of JEE Mains 2025 — Passed or Appearing ? (2) Is isolated mathematics exam marksheet of Maharashtra board valid for JEE or not ? (3) Am I eligible for jee mains and advanced?

Ans: Hello Mark.
Here is a point-wise reply to your question:
(1) Since you appear for an isolated Mathematics exam, you should select "Appearing" in the application form, as you will receive your final mark sheet (including Mathematics) in June 2025.
(2) The isolated Mathematics mark sheet from the Maharashtra Board is valid for JEE examination.
(3) You are eligible for JEE Mains if you pass the isolated Mathematics exam and fulfill the general criteria (minimum qualifying percentage in 12th with PCM). To be eligible for JEE Advanced, you must qualify for JEE Mains and meet the category-wise cut-off criteria for Advanced.
Conclusion:- Appear for Maths subject separately, Fill Appearing in the JEE Exam form, Score Min qualifying marks in JEE+ 75% in PCM, appear for JEE (Adv)

Thank you for your reply sir (1) But I will get marksheet with only including Mathematics. Then I will have two Marksheets one of PCB of 2024 and another of isolated Mathematics Marksheet. (2) My PCB marksheet is of year 2024 , if I filled appearing will it create any problem in Counselling? (3) Since I have two Marksheets one of PCB and another Mathematics isolated Will Jee Mains and Advanced Accept two Marksheets and other engineering colleges including iits and nits.
Ans: Welcome back.
It is already cleared that, there will be no problem if you enter as an "Appearing" option.
While filling out the application form, you have to enter the marks subject-wise. Hence there is no obstruction of two mark sheets. At the time of admission, they will check both the marks sheets and will enter separately the scores of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. There will be no issue of admission either to IIT's or NIT's

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks.

Sir my daughter is doing Btech EEE at BIT Mesra Patna campus , she is securing 8 CGPA there . She is little bit upset due to poor placement there , what to do
Ans: Hello Alok.
Nothing will happen with an upset mood, and there is no point in blaming the institute at this stage. It is better to search for another path while completing the B.Tech. @ BIT Mesra. Here are a few suggestions for your daughter: (1) Start preparing for the GATE exam, which opens the doors for MTech at IITs/NITs or PSU jobs (like BHEL, NTPC, ONGC). (2) Focus on GRE and MBA (3) Join online Platforms: Coursera, NPTEL, Udemy, LinkedIn for advanced learning techniques related with EEE and CSE (4) Focus on Off-Campus Job Preparation, in which she can prepare for Aptitude, Coding, Core concepts etc (5) While in final year, create accounts on LinkedIn, Indeed, AngelList, naukri.com etc/ (5) If possible, join CDAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) offer excellent 6-month PG diplomas with placement support (great ROI).(6) Talk to seniors/alumni for realistic inspiration and off-campus job guidance. (7) Consider a mock placement drive or aptitude training course in the final year.
Best of luck to your daughter for her upcoming bright future.

Note: The above ranks are indicative and based on available data for the OBC-NCL category. Every year, actual cutoffs may vary based on factors like seat availability, reservation policies, and candidate preferences.

?Regarding the chances of getting seats through JEE/JoSAA Counselling, here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Daughter's Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Daughter's Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Her JEE Main percentile
Her category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Her Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Her Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If your daughter is open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select her Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
