Can I take admission in IITs without cracking JEE Advanced? I have passed HS examination in 2020. But I didn't appear for JEE Main/Adv in any previous attempts. This year I can appear for JEE Main for the last attempt but I'm no longer eligible for Advanced. Please answer.

Hi aspirant,

I am sorry to tell you that JEE advanced is the only gateway to admission in various programs offered at 23 IIT colleges across the India. According to the current eligibility criteria set up by National testing agency for appearing in JEE main and advanced, A candidate can appear for JEE main in three consecutive years starting from the year in which he or she appears for the intermediate examination while for JEE advanced it is limited to 2 years starting from the year year of intermediate examination.

So you can't appear for JEE advanced next year although you can appear for JEE main and give yourself a chance to seek a seat in NIT'S, IIIT's and GFTI'S.

Hope it helps!!

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

If you want to pursue Undergraduate course from IIT then you must have to appear for JEE Advanced. As you mentioned you have passed XII in 2020 then as per Eligibility criteria defined by JEE advanced organising committee, you are not eligible for JEE advanced 2022. However you could appear for JEE main and take admission in Undergraduate courses of NITs.

I hope this will answer your query.

Thanks!!!!!
