Hello,

If you appeared for the NIOS October 2024 exam, your passing year will be 2024 (because NIOS counts the year in which the exam is held).

For JEE Advanced eligibility :
You can appear in JEE Advanced only in the year you pass Class 12 and the following year .

So, since your passing year is 2024 , you are eligible for:

  • JEE Advanced 2024

  • JEE Advanced 2025

You will not be eligible for JEE Advanced 2026 , as it will be your third attempt after passing Class 12.

Hope it helps !

Hello dear candidate,

If your first ever 12th board exam was NIOS October 2024 which means your passing year is 2024, which makes you eligible for JEE Advanced 2026

But if you had already appeared for class 12th before 202, then that earlier years will also be counted and you will not be eligible for JEE Advanced 2026.

Thank you.

Hello,

Your passing year will be 2024, so you are not eligible for the JEE Advanced 2026. You appeared for your class XII equivalent exam in 2024. The eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced 2026 require that candidates first appear for their class XII equivalent exam in either 2025 or 2026.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

If you appeared for your NIOS Class 12 exam in October 2024, your passing year will be considered 2024 (the year your result is declared).

For JEE Advanced 2026, candidates are eligible only if they passed Class 12 in 2025 or 2026.

So, since your passing year is 2024, you will not be eligible for JEE Advanced 2026, but you can still appear for JEE Main 2026.

Hope you understand.

Hey there,

If you appeared in NIOS October exam 2024, your passing year would be 2024, which does not make you eligible for JEE Advanced 2026. According to JEE Advanced eligibility criteria, you are allowed to appear in the exam in the same year you passed the 12th or in the following year.
