Hello Aspirant,

No, here starting of two consecutive years is to be considered from the passing year of class 12th or equivalent, so if you have passed class 12th in 2021 then two consecutive years allowed for you will be only 2021 and 2022.

This is because maximum attempts allowed for JEE-Advance is 2 in 2 consecutive years, first attempt in the passing year of class 12th or equivalent examination and second attempt in very next year to that. Similarly for JEE-Main maximum attempts allowed for JEE-Main is 3 in 3 consecutive years, first attempt in the passing year of class 12th or equivalent examination and second attempt in very next year to that followed by third attempt in third year.
