Hello aspirant,


Yes, you will be eligible to appear for JEE Mains if you pass Class 12 in 2025 with Mathematics as an additional subject. The eligibility criteria for JEE Mains require candidates to have passed the Class 12 examination or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects.


Here are the key points for JEE Mains eligibility:


1. Subjects Required: Candidates must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in their 10+2 or equivalent examination.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can appear for the improvement exam as a private candidate as educational boards (like CBSE, ISC, etc.) allow you to do so. All you need to do is go to the Board of Education where you are appearing for the exam, register yourself, and check their notification section, about their deadlines, registration, admit card, and so forth. The key is to keep yourself updated. Is is okay to have only subjects, there's no harm in it. If you'd mentioned the Board of Education, we would have been able to guide you properly, but no worries, all the procedures are almost the same.

All the best!
