Sir my question is that I passed class 12th from up board in 2024 with 65% and I didn't register for jee mains that year now I take admission in nios for class 12th to improve my number and I think I can get more than 75%this year and also registered for jee mains so my question is that can I take a drop year for jee mains as well as jee advanced because jee advanced allow only one year gap after 12th please sir guide me in proper way

Ans: Sultan, Yes, you can take a drop year for JEE Mains and appear in both 2025 and 2026. However, for JEE Advanced, your final attempt will be in 2025, as IITs allow only one year of gap after Class 12. If your goal is to get into an IIT, you must clear JEE Advanced in 2025. However, if you're open to NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, you can take an additional drop and appear for JEE Mains in 2026. To maximize your chances, it’s highly recommended to apply for 5-7 entrance exams and explore state-level counseling processes alongside JEE Mains, rather than relying solely on one exam. To achieve a good rank in JEE Advanced, aim for at least a 90 percentile in JEE Main, though a 95+ percentile significantly improves your chances. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.
