JEE Main 2023 January 30 Question Paper and Answer Key

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,

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.

Hello Aspirant,

In JEE Main, questions are mostly conceptual and test your understanding, application, and problem-solving skills in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

1.Multiple Choice Questions

2.Numeric Based questions

• Questions are based on Class 11 & 12 syllabus

• Mix of easy, moderate, and difficult levels

• There is also negative marking so you should be aware before answer that questions.

All the best for your examination.

Hello aspirant,
The full form of JEE Mains is Joint Entrance Examination Main, and for JEE Advanced, it is Joint Entrance Examination Advanced. These are national-level engineering entrance exams conducted for admission into top institutes like NITs, IIITs (via JEE Main) and the IITs (via JEE Advanced). JEE Main is the qualifying exam to appear for JEE Advanced.

Dear Candidate ,
JEE Main : Joint Entrance Examination - Main . ( Conducted by NTA ( National test agency ) .
JEE Advanced: Joint Entrance Examination - Advanced . ( Conducted by IITs on a rotational basis )

For appearing in JEE Main, there is no minimum percentage requirement in your 12th class marks. However, for admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs, you will need at least 75% marks (or be in the top 20 percentile) in your 12th class exams. If you are from a reserved category (SC/ST/PwD), the minimum is 65%.

In simpler terms:

To take the JEE Main exam: You can appear regardless of your 12th-grade percentage.

To get into an IIT, NIT, IIIT, or CFTI: You need to meet the 75% or top 20 percentile requirement in your 12th class.

For JEE Advanced (to get into IITs): You need 75% marks (or be in the top 20 percentile) in 12th. Reserved categories need 65%.

Your 12th marks don't affect your JEE Main rank .

Therefore, you can share your 12th marks, but they won't determine your eligibility for JEE Main itself, only for admissions to certain institutions based on JEE Main scores.
