Hi

No, you won't be eligible for jee advanced in your 2nd drop year but will be eligible in your 1st drop year for jee advanced , it doesn't matter whether you appear for jee advanced or not in your 12th appearing year

This is because

One has a total of two attempts for JEE advanced over two consecutive years starting from the year of appearing for 12th board examination i. e as per , eligibility criteria one is eligible for JEE advanced examination only in the year in which he or she appears for 12th board examination and the next year following it.

For example,

Let's say your appeared for 12th exam in 2021 , so you are eligible for jee advanced 2021 , and eligible for jee advanced 2022 i. e your 1st drop year but not eligible for jee advanced 2023 i. e your 2nd drop year

You can check detailed eligibility criteria of JEE advanced by visiting our page the link for the same page is provided below

If I tell you about Jee main then,

One can give JEE Mains entrance examination for a maximum of 3 consecutive years starting from the year of appearing 12th board examination.

For example,

If your 12th appearing year is 2021

Then, you are eligible for jee main 2021 , jee main 2022 , jee main 2023 with 12th appearing year in 2021.

If you have any other doubt then you can always reach us to clear them :) we are always available to help you out and guide you


Thankyou

Hello Dear,

Yes you can appear. The maximum number of attempts that the candidates can attempt JEE Advanced is two times in two consecutive years. As per NTA, students can appear in JEE Main for three consecutive years from passing their class 12. So, if a student will pass his/her class 12 in 2021, he/she can appear in JEE Main 2021, 2022, and 2023. Students aspiring for admission in NITs, IIITs or IITs often talk about the number of attempts in JEE Main. For more information you can visit the link below:
