Hello,
Yes, a student can appear for the JEE exam in the same year they are appearing for their Class 12 board exams, even if they completed Class 12 directly after Class 10 (without doing Class 11 separately).
However, they must fulfill these conditions:
They should have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main subjects in Class 12.
Their school or board must officially recognize the Class 12 qualification.
They must meet the minimum eligibility percentage required by JEE and the respective institute.
B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN
So, as long as the student’s Class 12 is valid and recognized, they can give JEE in that same year.
Hope it helps !
Yes, you can appear for JEE Main while completing your 12th boards, but the JEE Advanced eligibility depends on the year you first appeared for your 12th exams. Here in this article you will find information about the JEE Main eligibility criteria.
I hope it will clear your query!!

Yes, a student can take the JEE in the same year they sit for their Class 12 board exams, even if they moved straight from Class 10 to 12 without any gap. The key requirement is having Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Class 12 and appearing for or passing the exam that year. Meet these conditions and you’re all set eligible to write the JEE without a hitch.
Thank you
Yes ofcourse you can appear for JEE at the same year of passing 12th, it doesn't matter if you do your 11th or not, although studying class 11th is crucial as it lays the foundation for class 12 and hence for JEE. Don't forget to check the age criteria i.e. birth year criteria of JEE for the year you are writing it.
No, you are not eligible for JEE Main in that case. The minimum requirement is that you must have completed both Class 11 and 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as subjects from a recognized board. Skipping Class 11 and directly appearing for Class 12 violates the eligibility criteria.
Hope you understand.
