Hi
One can give JEE Mains entrance examination for a maximum of 3 consecutive years starting from the year of passing 12th board examination.
Now,
JEE Main entrance examination is conducted twice a year i.e
*January session and
*April session.
So, the maximum number of attempts for jee mains entrance examination
= 2 times *3 years
= 6 attempts in total
So, one has a total of six attempts over 3 consecutive years starting from the year of passing 12th board examination.
