Hello Rohit,
Yes, you can apply for JEE Main in 2026 with your diploma. But keep in mind:
- That JEE Main is for those diploma holders wanting to qualify for JEE Advanced, not direct admission into IITs.
- That your Class 12 pass-out year (2021) does not stop your JEE Advanced attempts if you are going the diploma route. JEE Advanced allows diploma holders to attempt it. However, the Advaced route is only for admission through clearing JEE Advanced - not through JEE Main ranks.
- If you clear the JEE Advanced then you can get admission in IITs, but it would be as a first year (1st year B.Tech) - there is no lateral entry for IITs.
- There shouldn't be any problems with your 12th pass-out year, since diploma holders are considered separately for JEE Advanced eligibility.
