Dear
According to the information yes, you are eligible to appear for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced in your drop year as a private candidate.
-
Appearance in Class 12 Examination : You must have appeared for the Class 12 (or equivalent) examination for the first time in 2023, 2024, or 2025 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
-
Age Limit : Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 2000. SC, ST, and PwD candidates get a five-year age relaxation.
-
Number of Attempts : You can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in three consecutive years.
Since you are repeating your Class 12 exams as a private candidate, you meet the criteria for appearing in JEE Mains and Advanced.
Thanks.
