The number of attempts for the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Advanced) has been increased from two to three from this year. Previously, for JEE Advanced the limit was set at two attempts within two years.
JEE Advanced 2025, website is issued on Tuesday (5 November, 2024), The responsibility of JEE Advanced this time is given to IIT Kanpur. Big update this year is that students can now give three attempts, until now students are only able to give two attempts but from now they can give three attempts.
Due to increment in number of attempts, Number of students and competition for JEE Advanced both will increase next year, that make’s this examination more difficult.
On the basis of JEE Main, 2.5 Lakh students give JEE Advanced from which 10% percent General-EWS, 27% percent OBC-NCL, 15% percent SC (schedule cast), 7.5% percent ST (schedule tribe), and 40.5% percent OPEN category seats are available.
In past years, only two attempts are available to the students due to which the number students who qualify’s for JEE Advanced in the past years is less than 2 Lakh’s. But now three attempts are available to the students so the number of students that will qualify for Advanced will also increase.
Eligibility Criteria for JEE Advanced 2025:
For JEE Advanced 2025, candidates must be among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates in the BE/BTech Paper (Paper 1) of JEE Main 2025. The figure may slightly exceed 2.5 Lakh if there are tied ranks or scores in any category.
Regarding Age limits, candidates must be born on or after October 1, 2000, with a five-year relaxation for SC, ST, and PwD candidates (born on or after October 1, 1995).
As for eligibility concerning Class 12th exams, candidates must have appeared for the Class 12th (or equivalent) examination for the first time in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Candidates who appeared for Class 12th Exams in 2022 or earlier are ineligible, except those from boards where results were declared after September 21, 2022. Class 12th 75% percent criteria is also removed.
The Supreme Court’s Decision clarifies that OCI/PIO candidates who obtained their OCI/PIO card before March 4, 2021, will be considered Indian nationals for seat allocation in IITs but will not be eligible for reservation benefits except for OPEN-PwD.
Further, candidates who have previously been admitted to an IIT under any academic programme listed in JoSSA Business Rules of 2024 or earlier, or whose admission was cancelled, are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2025.
