Hi
Yes. You can still write Write JEE mains while studying Btech first year.
Students can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two years (consecutive). Candidates must have appeared in the 12th or equivalent exam for the first time either in the year you appear for JEE Advanced or the year before attempting the entrance exam.
Thank you

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

Yes, You can do preparation of IIT-JEE while doing B.Tech. from a College. But, There are some conditions regarding your question.

Many students who crack JEE-Advance in their first attempt do not realize the risks they are taking by letting go of the seats they are offered. Typically, students think that by dropping a year they will be able to study harder for the next one year, get a better branch or a better ranking IIT.

Case:1

Risks you take by opting for a Second Attempt

  • You may get bored, depressed or frustrated over the next year.
  • There is a chance that it may turn out to be just a bad day for you – sickness, accident or just plain bad luck can ruin your day and your chance to get even your present rank.
  • You will be under a lot of stress next year as it will be your last chance to crack the IIT JEE (Advanced) exam.

Case:2

Cracked JEE Main with good rank but failed to crack JEE Advanced

After JEE Main, you stand a good chance to get admission in some of the top NITs and other good engineering colleges. You may also try to crack BITSAT and join BITS Pilani which enjoys good enough reputation.

If most of the questions have ‘yes’ as the answer, you should definitely give yourself another chance to crack JEE Advance.
