Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Yes, you can apply for JEE Main in 2026. Candidates can attempt JEE Main within 3 years of passing Class 12 , so you're eligible until 2025 and also in 2026 , as your diploma does not affect this eligibility.


If you passed your 12th in the year 2022, then you are not allowed to apply for JEE Main in 2025. According to the rules, only students who passed 12th in 2023, 2024, or are going to appear in 2025 can apply for JEE Main 2025.

There is no age limit for JEE Main, but your 12th passing year must be within the last two years.

If you still want to try for JEE, one option is to repeat 12th in 2025. Then you can apply for JEE Main in 2026. Otherwise, you can try for other engineering entrance exams like state-level exams or diploma-based admissions.

Hello Aspirant,

  • Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations (~3–5 Qs)

Hello Mahitha,

At an 88.57 percentile in JEE Main, a CRL rank of 168000 and an EWS Category rank of 24000, the likelihood of receiving CSE or other top branches in NITs/IIITs through CSAB counseling are almost negligible, especially for general/open category seats. That said, as a female EWS candidate, you may have a few chances in:

  • Lower ranked NITs/IIITs (NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur, etc.)
  • Non-core branches (Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology)
  • Home state quota, if applicable and available at CSAB

Hello Aspirant,

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 145214 and OBC-NCL rank of 48284 with Uttarakhand domicile you have chances of getting admission in College of Technology Pantnagar (COT Pantnagar) through UTU counselling. However this will depend on cut-off trends, seat availability and your branch of choice.

Note that COT Pantnagar fills B.Tech seats through UKSEE/UTU counselling and based on JEE Main scores. Being a Uttarakhand domicile and OBC-NCL category should help you with state quota reservations. If you wish to improve your chances:

  1. Apply through UTU counselling.
  2. Look for branches that have relatively low cut-offs.
  3. Keep under similar colleges in UTU also as backups.
