Hi I passed my class10 in 2021 but my intermediate is going to be passed in 2025 by me. Am I eligible to take admission in IIT next year if I get qualified in JEE Adv, Will I be questioned for extra gap between my Matriculation and higher secondary examination ?

Hello,

Yes, you can take admission in IIT next year if you qualify in JEE Advanced, despite the gap between your matriculation and higher secondary education. Here are some key points regarding eligibility and gaps:

  1. Eligibility Criteria :

    • Age Limit : Generally, candidates should be born on or after October 1, 1999. There are age relaxations for SC, ST, and PwD candidates.
    • Number of Attempts : Candidates can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.
    • Qualifying Examination : Candidates must have passed their class 12th (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either the previous year or the current year.
  2. Gap Year :

    • Having a gap between class 10 and class 12 does not disqualify you from taking JEE or getting admission into an IIT, provided you meet the other eligibility criteria.
    • You need to pass your class 12th exam with the required percentage and subjects.
  3. Verification Process :

    • During the admission process, your academic credentials will be verified.
    • As long as you have valid reasons and proper documentation for your gap years, you should not face any issues.
    • The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) might inquire about the gap during the counseling process, but it typically does not affect your eligibility if all other criteria are met.
  4. Documentation :

    • Be prepared to provide an explanation for the gap if asked during counseling or admission.
    • Maintain all records of your educational journey, including reasons for the gap, if any, to support your case.

To summarize, as long as you qualify in JEE Advanced and meet the other eligibility criteria, the gap between your class 10 and class 12 should not prevent you from getting admission into an IIT.

Hope it helps !
