Hi

No, a double dropper is not eligible for jee advanced and thus cannot get admission in IITs

Let's say that you pass 12th in 2021 , so after 1st drop you will be eligible for 2022 but after 2nd drop you will not be eligible for jee advanced 2023

This is because,

One has a total of two attempts for JEE advanced over two consecutive years starting from the year of appearing for 12th board examination i. e as per , eligibility criteria one is eligible for JEE advanced examination only in the year in which he or she appears for 12th board examination and the next year following it.


So, with 12 th appearing year as 2021

  • you were eligible for jee advanced 2021 and

  • eligible for jee advanced 2022 only. Thus, not eligible for JEE advanced 2023

You can check detailed eligibility criteria of JEE advanced by visiting our page the link for the same page is provided below

If I tell you about Jee main then,

One can give JEE Mains entrance examination for a maximum of 3 consecutive years starting from the year of passing 12th board examination.

Now, your 12th passing year is 2021

So, you

  • were eligible for jee main 2021

  • eligible jee main 2022

  • eligible jee main 2023 as well .So, after 2nd drop you are eligible for jee main and can get admission in NITs etc
