The eligibility criteria for the IIT-JEE exams, now known as JEE Advanced, typically include the following:
Performance in JEE Main: Candidates must qualify in the JEE Main examination. Only those who rank among the top a certain percentage of candidates (as decided by the JEE Advanced conducting authority) in their respective categories are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.
Age Limit: General category candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1997. There is a relaxation of 5 years for candidates belonging to SC, ST, and PwD categories, i.e., they should have been born on or after October 1, 1992.
Number of Attempts: A candidate can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in consecutive years.
Educational Qualification: Candidates should have passed the 10+2 or equivalent examination in 2022 or 2023. Those appearing for their 10+2 or equivalent examination in 2024 are also eligible to apply.
Percentage Criteria: Candidates must secure a minimum percentage of marks in their 10+2 or equivalent examination, as specified by the JEE Advanced conducting authority.
It’s essential for candidates to thoroughly review the official information bulletin released by the organizing body of JEE Advanced each year to understand the specific eligibility criteria and any changes made.

Eligibility for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) is primarily determined through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). The JEE has two stages: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Here are the detailed eligibility criteria:
JEE Main Eligibility
Educational Qualification:
Candidates must have passed their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination or should be appearing in the same year. The qualifying examination must be recognized by the government.
Subjects:
Candidates must have taken at least five subjects in their Class 12 examination. These typically include Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, along with any other two subjects.
Year of Passing:
Candidates who passed their Class 12 examination two years prior to the year of the JEE Main exam or in the same year are eligible. For example, for JEE Main 2024, candidates who passed Class 12 in 2022, 2023, or appearing in 2024 are eligible.
Age Limit:
There is no specific age limit for appearing in JEE Main. However, candidates should check the age requirements of the institutes they are applying to.
Number of Attempts:
Candidates can attempt JEE Main for three consecutive years.
JEE Advanced Eligibility
Qualification in JEE Main:
Candidates must qualify in the JEE Main exam and rank among the top candidates (the exact number varies each year).
Educational Qualification:
Similar to JEE Main, candidates must have passed their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination, typically with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
Year of Passing:
Candidates must have passed their Class 12 examination in the year of the JEE Advanced or the year before. For example, for JEE Advanced 2024, candidates must have passed their Class 12 in 2023 or 2024.
Age Limit:
Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1999. There is a relaxation of 5 years for SC, ST, and PwD candidates (born on or after October 1, 1994).
Number of Attempts:
Candidates can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.
Additional Criteria:
Candidates should not have been admitted to an IIT previously, regardless of whether they continued in the program or accepted the seat by reporting at a center.
Preparation Tips
Strong Foundation:
Focus on building a strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from Class 11 and 12.
Practice:
Regular practice of problems, mock tests, and previous years’ papers is crucial.
Time Management:
Develop effective time management skills to balance school studies and JEE preparation.
Coaching:
Many students benefit from coaching classes, though self-study is also effective with the right resources and discipline.
Stay Updated:
Keep up with official notifications from the National Testing Agency (NTA) for JEE Main and the IITs for JEE Advanced.
