For **JEE Mains**, there is **no upper age limit** for candidates. This means students of any age can appear for the exam as long as they meet the other eligibility criteria, such as passing the 12th standard (or equivalent) examination with the required subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
However, there is a restriction on the **year of passing the 12th examination**. To be eligible for JEE Mains 2025, candidates should have passed their 12th or equivalent exam in **2023, 2024**, or be appearing for it in **2025**. Beyond that, candidates from earlier years are not eligible.
Different institutes may have their own specific age requirements, particularly for admissions via JEE Advanced. Candidates are advised to check the individual eligibility criteria of the colleges they are applying to, especially if planning to apply to institutions like **IITs, NITs, and GFTIs**, which follow the guidelines of JEE.
This flexible age policy allows students from various educational backgrounds and timelines to pursue engineering through JEE Mains without worrying about age limits
