JEE Main 2025 January Session Official Question Paper with Detailed Solution

Hello Aspirant,

The eligibility criteria of jee mains are as follows -

• Candidates should pass from any recognised board or University in their class 12th.
• Candidates should opt for physics chemistry and mathematics as mandatory subjects in their class 12th.
• Candidates should secure a minimum of 75 percentage in their class 12th.

So if you 2024 examination and marksheet is considered then you can give two more attempts in jee mains

Hello Aspirant,

You can give 12th boards from cbse board or any recognised board whatever you want but the thing it would be very lengthy and tiring process and in addition to this if by chance you are not able to crack a NIT also then it would be difficult for you in placements.

The other eligibilities of jee mains are :-

• Candidates should secure a minimum of 75 percentage in their class 12th.
• Candidates should opt for physics chemistry and mathematics as mandatory subjects in their class 12th.

Hello prince,

Aazs you mentioned that your JEE attempts are over and you are thinking to give your 12th again so let me tell you that if you are planning to do so. Then kindly aim for IIT because if you are not able to crack even NIT then you can get into some serious trouble as maximum colleges in which companies will come will not allow such drop years in your academic curriculum.

Hello Aspirant,

The eligibility criteria of jee mains are as follows -

• Candidates should pass from any recognised board or University in their class 12th.
• Candidates should opt for physics chemistry and mathematics as mandatory subjects in their class 12th.
• Candidates should secure a minimum of 75 percentage in their class 12th.

If you fulfill the above eligibility criterias then only you are eligible to sit for jee mains.

If you passed 12th in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) in 2023, you need to study PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Math) to be eligible for BTech in IIT Bombay through JEE Advanced. You can join 12th again with PCM subjects in 2024 and appear for JEE Main and Advanced after passing. This way, you become eligible because math is compulsory for engineering. So yes, you can do 12th again with PCM and then try for IIT through JEE. Keep working hard!

Hello,
According to your score 20 percentile in JEE mains , your rank will be under 1000000 . With this rank it is impossible to get any of the NITs or IIITs or CFTIs. Percentile indicates how many students have been outperformed by you in exam. Top 20 percentile means that you are ahead of 80% of the people. Percentile scores range from the 1st through 99th percentile, indicating the percentage of scores in the comparison group which are lower than the test taker's score. Generally the students are required to score more than 75% or above to enter to the top 20 percentile of their respective boards just to be eligible for joint entrance examination(JEE). Usually the cutoff marks for the general category students goes to 66-68%, for OBC 65-66% ,for SC 63% ,for ST 62.5% . Percentile ranks are often expressed as a number between 1 and 99, with 50 being the average. So if a student scored a percentile rank of 87, it would mean that they performed better than 87% of the other students in his norm group. There is no qualification criteria for giving JEE. For JEE you must have passed your class 12 board examination. But, to get admission into NIT/ IIT you'll have to be in the top 20 percentile of the boards.
In 2019, general category cutoff stood at 66.8%, fo 65.2% for other backward class (OBC), 63% for Scheduled Caste (SC) and 62.8% for Scheduled Tribes (ST).
So, usually for general category the percentage falls between 65-72. The official percentile data has not been declared by JOSAA yet.

Hello!

Here are the most important and most weightage chapters in JEE mains:

1.Physics : Laws of Motion,Work, Power and  Energy, rotational motion, Thermodynamics , Current Electricity, Electrostatics and Semiconductor Electronics.

2. Chemistry: Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding, Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium, Coordination Compounds,Thermodynamics and  Thermochemistry, Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers, p-block and Environmental Chemistry and Everyday Chemistry.

3. Mathematics : Sets, Relations & Functions, Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Permutations & Combinations, Binomial Theorem, Limit, Continuity & Differentiability, Definite & Indefinite Integrals and  Probability.

Hello,

If you wants to prepare for NEET requires a structured and disciplined approach. First, you need to have a solid grip on NCERT books of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as at least 70–80% of NEET questions directly or indirectly come from NCERT. Divide your time smartly: biology should get maximum focus since it carries 360 marks, followed by chemistry and then physics. Daily practice of MCQs, mock tests, and previous year papers is essential to build speed and accuracy. Try making a timetable that allows revision of older topics while learning new ones. Use online test series and question banks for practice because they simulate the actual exam atmosphere. If you stay consistent and focused, clearing NEET with a good rank becomes very much achievable.

With a 72.6 percentile in JEE Mains, CRL rank of 410886, and SC category rank of 27340, your daughter might not be able to get CSE, CSE (AI & ML), or CSE (Data Science) in top NITs/IIITs through JoSAA, as these branches usually close at a much lower rank. However, she may have chances in:

Some newer NITs in less popular branches, but CSE-related branches will still be tough.

State-level engineering colleges in Telangana through TS EAMCET counselling (better chances here, especially in SC category).

Private universities like SRM, VIT, KL University, and GITAM where admission is through their own entrance exams or JEE score.

Deemed universities and good private colleges under management quota if budget allows.
