For JEE Advanced 2025 preparation, focus on some relatively easier chapters to build your confidence. In Physics, you can start with Optics, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics, as they are more manageable compared to other topics. In Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, especially reactions and functional groups, is easier to grasp. You can also focus on Basic Inorganic Chemistry and Surface Chemistry. In Mathematics, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, and Integral Calculus are usually less complex and will help strengthen your basics. Once you’re comfortable, gradually move to tougher chapters while practicing and revising regularly.

No, you cannot opt for OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes – Non-Creamy Layer) reservation in JEE Advanced 2025 if you didn't choose it during your JEE Main registration. According to the official guidelines, the category selected during JEE Main registration cannot be changed for JEE Advanced.

To secure a seat in an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) through JEE Advanced, you need to fulfill a set of conditions that cover your performance in JEE Main, your academic background, and other criteria. Here's a breakdown of the key conditions:

First and foremost, you must qualify in JEE Main and be among the top 250,000 candidates (including all categories) who clear Paper 1 of JEE Main. This is the primary filter to be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

Secondly, there are criteria related to your Class 12 (or equivalent) examination . You must have passed this examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Additionally, you need to either secure at least 75% aggregate marks in the qualifying examination (65% for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) or be within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in your respective Class 12 board examination.

Regarding the number of attempts , a candidate can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years. For JEE Advanced 2025, candidates must have appeared for their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2024 or 2025. Those who appeared for the first time in 2023 or earlier are generally not eligible.

There is also an age limit . Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 2000. However, there is a five-year age relaxation for SC, ST, and PwD candidates, meaning they should have been born on or after October 1, 1995.

Finally, candidates who have already been admitted to an IIT under any academic program in previous years (through JoSAA) are generally not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced again. However, there are some exceptions for those who were admitted to a preparatory course or whose admission was cancelled before the final round of seat allotment.

In simple terms, to get into an IIT through JEE Advanced, you need to perform well enough in JEE Main to be eligible, pass your Class 12 with good marks (or be a top performer in your board), be within the allowed number of attempts and age limit, and not have already taken admission in an IIT previously. Make sure to check the official JEE Advanced website for the most up-to-date and detailed eligibility criteria.

Agar aapne 2023 me 12th pass kiya hai aur usi saal JEE Advanced ka paper nahi diya, lekin 2024 me diya, to aap 2025 me JEE Advanced nahi de sakte. JEE Advanced ke rules ke according, aap 12th pass karne ke baad sirf do consecutive attempts le sakte ho—ek same saal (2023) aur dusra agle saal (2024).

Kyuki aapne 2023 me paper nahi diya, lekin 2024 me diya, to wahi aapka pehla attempt maana jata hai. Aap chahe to JEE Main 2025 de sakte ho

You cannot change your category from OBC (State) to General EWS during JoSAA counseling if your category is not listed in the central OBC list. Your category will be considered based on the documents provided during the JEE Advanced application process.

If you scored 70% in your UP Board exams, you need to check the JEE Advanced eligibility criteria carefully. Usually, to qualify for JEE Advanced counseling, you need at least 75% marks in your 12th board exams or be in the top 20 percentile of your board. Since you have 70%, you may not meet the general cutoff. But if you are in a reserved category, the criteria might be lower. Check the official JEE Advanced rules for your category to be sure.

Since you’ve qualified JEE Mains Paper 2 but not Paper 1, you cannot apply for JEE Advanced directly, as the eligibility for JEE Advanced requires candidates to have qualified JEE Mains Paper 1 .

Important Points:

1. Eligibility for JEE Advanced : You must qualify Paper 1 of JEE Mains, which is the entrance exam for JEE Advanced . Paper 2 is for B.Arch aspirants and does not affect eligibility for JEE Advanced.

2. Which Score is Counted : For JEE Advanced , only the Paper 1 score is considered, and it’s used to determine your eligibility for the exam.

What to Do Next:

• You may be able to apply for other B.Arch colleges based on your Paper 2 result, but for JEE Advanced, you would need to clear Paper 1 in a future attempt.
