Hi

Ideally , one has a maximum of  12 attempts of jee main over 3 consecutive  years starting from the year of appearing 12th board examination.

Let's us see it in detail :-

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 4 times a year i.e

--------------) 1st session usually in February

--------------)  2nd session usually in March

--------------) 3rd  session usually in April

--------------) 4th session usually in  May .

Out of these 4 attempts in a year, the one in which you get the best score is considered for admission process.

So,  the maximum number of attempts for jee mains entrance examination

= 4 times  x  3 years

=  12 attempts in total

So, ideally one has a total of 12 attempts over 3 consecutive years  starting from the year of passing your 12th board examination.


For example,

If your 12th board examination passing year is 2022

then you are eligible for :-

  • all the four sessions of JEE mains 2022 ( but this year only 2 attempts are there)

  • all the four sessions of JEE main 2023

  • and all the four sessions of jee main 2024

So, as there are only two attempts this year. You have a total of 10 attempts. 2 attempts of 2022, 4 attempts of 2023 and  4 attempts of jee main 2024.

So after 2022, you will have 8 attempts leftleft i. e 4 attempts of jee main 2023 and 4 attempts of jee main 2024.

If one gives 12th board in 2022 then

He is eligible for
