Hello Aspirant,

If you again appear for class 12th from different board for Science stream (PCM background) then you can definitely appear for JEE Main and-Advance in 2024 because if you start your class 11th now then you will be appearing for your class 12th examinations in 2024 and in the same year you can appear for JEE-Main and then upon qualifying JEE-Main you can also appear for JEE-Advance.

JEE-Main eligibility criteria is mentioned below :-

1--- Age criteria :- There is no age limit to appear in JEE-Main but note that there might be the age limit in any particular institution taking admission through JEE-Main score, so you should keep this thing in mind.

2--- Qualifying Examination :- To be eligible for JEE-Main one should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Mathematics as mandatory subjects along with one of the Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/ Technical Vocational subject from any of the recognized central or state board.

3--- Year of qualification :- For JEE-Main 2024 only those candidates who have passed Class 12 / equivalent examination in 2022, 2023 or 2024; or those who will be appearing in Class 12th / equivalent examination in 2024, would be eligible to appear.

So if you follow all above criterion then you are definitely eligible for JEE-Main.
