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.

Sir I got 68.4% in my 12th board.sir whether I am eligible for jee advanced or not also is this gonna better for me to take drop year?sir I am from sc category.As per my standard is this a right decision to take drop?

Ans: Hello dear.
You do not qualify for JEE Adv because your score falls below the 75% eligibility requirement. Consider taking a gap year only after careful consideration. Generally, we do not advise taking a gap year.
Best of luck to you.

I gave my first jee mains in 2024 while studying in 12 th but didn't clear cutoff of mains so I didn't qualify mains and adv so I took drop but this year i don't clear cutoff of adv so can I take second drop and give jee advanced next year that is 2026 and if i don't clear Cutoff of adv this year will I get preparatory course from iit am I eligible for that

Ans: Hello dear
You will not qualify to take the JEE (Adv) in 2026. This is due to the rule that allows candidates to appear only in two consecutive years. Therefore, in your situation, your first opportunity will be in 2024, followed by a second opportunity in 2025.
Best of luck.

Which should we choose for CSE - JSS university Noida or JSS Academy of Technical Education Noida ? It is heard that management is migrating to University set-up from the old college set-up affiliated with AKTU . So they are giving more importance to JSS university . Which one should we choose for our daughter for CSE ?

Ans: Hello dear.
Prefer CSE @ JSS Academy if possible. But if you are at the stage of finalizing the admission, it is highly recommended to visit both campuses, talk with the existing students, and ask the management or administrative authorities clearly about what you heard regarding migration and other issues. It is better to have a face-to-face conversation for more clarity. It is not possible for anyone to know the hidden decisions that the universities or institutes may take.

Good luck.

Hi sir! I have got 73.39 percentile in jee mains and 88.89 percentile in mht cet exam. I have taken a drop for preparation of mht cet examination as I wanted to go in COEP tech branch. My question is that am I still eligible for jee mains 2026 examination as I have got 68 percent in boards.

Ans: Hello dear.
Yes, you are still eligible for JEE Mains 2026 because the eligibility criteria allow candidates to appear for JEE three consecutive years after passing Class 12, regardless of previous attempts. However, for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, you need at least 75% in boards (65% for SC/ST). Since you have 68%, you won’t be eligible for these top institutes through JEE Main unless you improve your board marks via improvement exams, but private colleges or state counseling options will still be available.

Suggestion:
Better to take admission to any preferred private college with a choice of branch to save time, money, and an extra year. There is no guarantee of success after taking a drop. Taking a drop can create stress and headaches. The final decision will be yours.

Good luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
Prefer CS @ SPIT if possible. However, considering the brand name, BITS Hyderabad has more advantage because it is a dual degree. If your interest is focused on research, then go with BITS; otherwise, choose SPIT. The final decision will be yours.

Hi Sir, I have secured Cse (core) Category 2 in vit chennai and I have an MHTCET score of 97.62 percentile and gen category so, should be able to get Production in VJTI , Metallurgy in COEP. I can also get CSE in Manipal Bengaluru campus. Pls recommend overall which is better with pros/cons snd if there are better options please inform. Thank you

Ans: Hello Prasanna
CSE at Manipal Bengaluru is the best choice among the alternatives mentioned. Based on the home state quota, you can expect VJTI, and with other states, the chances are lower with VJTI and COEP.

Good luck.
