The Joint Admission Board (JAB) of IIT has once again changed the rule of three attempts for JEE Advanced. Now, like before, candidates will get only two chances.
Joint Admission Board (JAB) issued a press release giving this information. In this press release it was said that the board has withdrawn the criteria issued earlier.
In the meeting of JAB members on November 15, it was decided that only the criteria made in 2013 would be followed. The decision of three attempts was canceled in the JAB meeting. After the new decision, candidates who have passed 12th will also not be eligible for this. Candidates who have passed 12th in 2023 will not be eligible for this. However, the candidates whose result has been released after September 21, 2023, will be eligible for it.
12th pass in 2023 will not be eligible
Such candidates who passed 12th in 2023 and after qualifying Mains could not get admission in IIT due to their backward rank in Advanced. They will be out of it now.
Even experts are surprised by IIT changing its final decision regarding the attempt so late. Data shows that there are 1500 students who were studying in NIT and had enrolled for JEE Main.
In the notification issued earlier, it was also said that till now the top 2.5 lakh students who qualified JEE Mains were eligible for JEE Advanced. But this time this number can be increased.
Earlier on November 5, IIT Kanpur had issued a press release, in which it was said that JEE students will now be able to appear for JEE Advanced exam not twice but thrice. According to the new guidelines of NTA, candidates will now have a maximum of three attempts, which they can give continuously.
Apart from this, it was told in the guidelines that only students born on or after October 1, 2000 can give JEE Advanced this time. However, age relaxation of 5 years is given to SC, ST and PwD candidates i.e. candidates born on or after October 1, 1995.
It has also been said in the notification that till now the top 2.5 lakh students who qualified JEE Mains were eligible for JEE Advanced. But this time this number can be increased.
This number of candidates will be shortlisted category wise….
