Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello there,

Yes, you can appear for the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) if you have 75% in Class 10 , as the eligibility criteria for JEE don't require a specific percentage in Class 10. However, for JEE Main eligibility, the focus is on your Class 12 marks.

Eligibility for JEE Main:

  • Class 12 or equivalent exam : You must have passed Class 12 or an equivalent exam with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main subjects.

  • Minimum marks : For general category students, a minimum of 75% in Class 12 (or top 20 percentile in the board exam) is required. For SC/ST, the minimum is 65% .

  • If you're still in Class 12 or preparing for it, you can appear for JEE Main, provided you meet the above requirements in your final exam.

Since your Class 10 marks are not directly considered for eligibility, focus on performing well in your Class 12 exams to meet the criteria for JEE Main.

Hello student,

As per the latest available information, the JEE Main 2025 Mathematics syllabus includes the study of conic sections, specifically parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola , along with their standard forms, foci, directrices, eccentricity, parametric equations, and equations of tangents and normals.

Therefore, the topics of tangents and normals in conic sections are not deleted from the JEE Main 2025 syllabus.

It's important to note that the syllabus for JEE Advanced 2025 may differ from JEE Main. For instance, the JEE Advanced 2025 syllabus includes equations of tangents and normals for conic sections.

To ensure comprehensive preparation, it's advisable to refer to the official JEE Main and JEE Advanced syllabi released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the respective conducting bodies. These documents provide the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the exam syllabus.

Hello Sachin,

To secure a rank under 200 in the OBC category for JEE Advanced , the required marks can vary depending on the difficulty of the exam, the performance of candidates in that particular year, and the normalization process. However, as a general guideline:

  • In previous years, to get a rank under 200 in the OBC category, you would typically need to score around 230-250 marks (out of 360) in JEE Advanced .

  • Keep in mind that the exact cutoff can fluctuate each year, so focusing on consistently improving your preparation and aiming for a high score is essential.

Additionally, the cutoff for JEE Advanced depends on factors like the overall difficulty level of the exam and the number of candidates appearing, so it's always a good idea to refer to the official cutoff trends once the exam is conducted.

Hello,

No, your first attempt will be counted when you will appear for JEE exam first time, it doesn't depend on you r 12th passing year .

  • JEE Advanced eligibility is based on class 12th performance and number of attempts, not solely on the academic year.
  • A candidate who failed in 2022-23 but passed in 2023-24 will be eligible for JEE Advanced 2024 if they meet other criteria (age, JEE Main score, etc.).
  • JEE Advanced counts attempts starting from the first successful JEE Main appearance. If they cleared JEE Main in 2023 and appeared for JEE Advanced 2023 but failed the class 12th exam, that still counts as their first attempt.
  • Their first attempt in JEE Advanced is linked to the first successful appearance in JEE Main.

Hope it helps !
