I have received a compartment in one subject in my Class 12 board examinations. I have appeared for entrance exams such as VITEEE, COMEDK, and JEE Main under the General category, and I have scored 45 percentile in JEE Main. However, both VIT and COMEDK require students to have passed Class 12 in order to participate in the counseling process. My compartment result will be declared in August, and by that time, the counseling rounds for these exams will most likely be over. I am feeling very confused and worried about what steps I should take next. I sincerely request you to kindly guide me on how I can proceed with college admissions in this situation.

Ans: You can appear for JEE Advanced 2025

Ans: Hello Viky
You are eligible for JEE (Adv) and there will be no effect on the counseling process provided that you must fulfill all the criteria laid by the IIT institutions.

Ans: Hello Warlord.
Yes, you are eligible to get admission in the college with a few conditions, as (1) you clear all subjects in 12th before JoSAA counselling/admission deadlines, (2) you submit the updated marksheet on time.(3) But if you fail to do this, you won't be eligible for NITs or equivalent Govt colleges, but doors will remain open for private colleges.

Ans: If you have cleared the JEE Advanced cutoff but hold a compartment in Class 12 Math, provisional admission to IITs is not permitted under JoSAA guidelines, as IITs mandate final board results meeting the 75% aggregate (65% for SC/ST) before seat acceptance. However, you can retain your JEE Advanced rank and participate in JoSAA counseling only if you clear the compartment exam and submit the final marksheet by the institute’s deadline (typically September 30). During counseling, declare your compartment status, provide a compartment admit card, and submit a school-issued provisional certificate confirming your eligibility to appear for the exam. If the compartment result is delayed, your admission risks cancellation. For backup, prioritize NITs/IIITs via JoSAA/CSAB, as some may allow provisional admission with a compartment pending resolution, provided you clear it within the academic year. Always confirm deadlines with allotted institutes to avoid forfeiture. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
