Hello,

No, you don’t have to give JEE Main or Advanced to become an app developer .

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Choose the right stream: After 10th, take the Science stream (PCM) or even Commerce/Arts if you’re confident. Science is preferred but not compulsory.

  2. Learn programming: Start with languages like Java, Python, or Kotlin. You can learn online or join short courses.

  3. After 12th: Do a degree like BCA , B.Sc. (Computer Science) , or B.Tech (CSE/IT) . For B.Tech, some colleges use JEE Main, but many private colleges don’t.

  4. Build skills: Make small apps, do internships, and create a portfolio.

  5. Keep learning: Explore Android, iOS, or cross-platform tools like Flutter or React Native.

In short, JEE is not mandatory . It’s only needed if you want to study B.Tech in top engineering colleges like IITs or NITs. You can become an app developer without JEE by taking other courses and practising on your own.

Hope it helps !

To become an app developer after 10th, you don’t necessarily need to give JEE Main/Advanced , because those exams are mainly for admission into IITs/NITs for engineering (like B.Tech in CSE/IT). If you are aiming for a top engineering college, then yes, JEE is required. But to become an app developer, you can also pursue a BCA, B.Sc (Computer Science), or diploma courses in app development, and later specialize in Android (Java/Kotlin), iOS (Swift), or cross-platform tools (Flutter, React Native) .

While completing your 11th and 12th, you can start learning programming languages like Java, Python, or C++ , and practice using free resources, YouTube tutorials, or platforms like Coursera and Udemy. Many successful app developers build projects early, even before college. So, JEE is not mandatory—it depends on whether you want to enter via an engineering route or take alternative computer courses. What really matters is your coding skills, creativity, and project experience
