I am a student on 2022 batch i will get less than 75% in boards i will go for a drop year if next year jee brings back the 75% criteria will the criteria be valid for droppers or not?

Hello Aspirant,

See till now no notification has been released for 2023 session so it is quite difficult to guide you with an accurate information of 2023-24 session.

See you will be eligible for JEE-Main even if you would not score 75% or greater marks and the criteria gets restored but for admission to NITs/IIITs/GFTIs through JOSAA counselling or to appear in JEE-Advance you need to have at least 75% marks in class 12th if you belongs to General category but this percentage criteria is being waived off since the pandemic started and is also relaxed for this year but for next year if this criteria gets restored then you will become ineligible. But if it does not get restored then you will be eligible.

Also note that 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.
