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 !
Hey,
If you take an additional exam in mathematics from an open board, as you want to pursue engineering, you will have two mark sheets which is not acceptable for JEE Mains or Advanced or JOSSA. NTA and IIT require single 10+2 certificate with the subjects Physics, Chemistry and Maths.
Hi,
JEE Advanced me qualify karne ke liye JEE Main me kisi fixed percentage ki requirement nahi hoti. Percentile aur rank ke basis par cutoff decide hoti hai. JEE Advanced ke liye eligible hone ke liye aapko JEE Main ke Top 2,50,000 rank holders ke andar aane chahiye, sab category mila kar.
Har saal cutoff percentile thoda alag hota hai, par approximate range general (UR) ke liye hoti hai 90–92 percentile tak, EWS ke liye 78–80 percentile tak, OBC-NCL ke liye 73-75 percentile tak, SC ke liye 55-60 percentile tak aur ST ke liye 45-50 percentile tak.
Iska matlab hai ki agar aap SC category se hai, to lagbhag 55 se 60 percentile JEE Main me lana par aap JEE Advanced ke liye qualify kar sakte hai.
Hope it helps!!!

Hello,
Yes, you can start now and prepare for the January attempt of JEE Main . It will be challenging, but with focus and proper planning, it is possible.
Here’s what you can do:
Make a study plan : Divide topics into daily and weekly targets. Focus more on important and high-weightage topics.
Start with basics : Make sure your concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Math are clear.
Practice regularly : Solve previous year papers and mock tests to understand the exam pattern.
Revise often : Keep revising formulas, important concepts, and tricky problems.
Stay consistent : Even small daily progress is better than irregular study.
If you stay dedicated and follow a strict plan, you can be ready for January.
Hope it helps !
