You are doing a great job to prepare for JEE Mains 2025 and then hope to score better with the improvement exam. Now, coming to marksheets being used for NIT admissions:

Most Probable Case:

You should not depend on both marksheets usually. All NITs, through JOSAA counseling, take admission based on more marks of Class 12 board examination. You can say they will use improvement marks, too (if they are more than the ones obtained in 2024), most probably.

Although that is the general trend, check with NITs of interest in advance. You might find clear statement on the official website or even in the admission brochure of the university about how they treat multiple marksheets.

JOSAA might also have some specific guidelines for it.

Good places to confirm: Official websites of the NITs you are targeting: Check on the "Admissions" sections to see whether they have put anything about eligibility criteria and the documents you will require.

JOSAA website: Once the official website for JOSAA 2025 becomes active, check their information brochure or FAQs regarding multiple marksheets.

Alternative Solution:

In case your improvement exam does not come up the mark, but you end up getting a better score in 2024, then the earlier score can also be utilized under JOSAA for counselling.

Remember,

Preparation of JEE Mains 2025.

Take the improvement exam too.

Give your best shot for both attempts.

I double check the admission policies of certain NITs and JOSAA to ensure that. Hopefully, this clears up all the confusion!

Hello student,

Yes, you can use both the marksheets, one from the 2024 examination and the other from your improvement exam in 2025, for JEE Mains and JOSAA counseling, but there are some conditions you need to be aware of.

1. Eligibility Criteria : For JEE Main and JOSAA counseling, you need to meet the eligibility requirements. For candidates who have appeared for improvement exams, the best marks in each subject (among the original and improvement exams) are taken into account. So, if you improve your marks in the two subjects in your improvement exam, those marks will be considered for your final marks calculation.
   
   

2. Validity of Marksheets : Both marksheets will be valid for your JEE Main and subsequent counseling process. You must mention both marksheets while filling out the application for JEE Mains, and during the document verification process, you should have both your original and improvement exam marksheets ready for submission. The improvement exam marksheet will reflect your updated marks in those subjects.
   
   

3. Admission to NITs : As long as you have cleared the eligibility requirements for JEE Main (including your class 12 exam with a minimum of 75% or being in the top 20 percentile in the respective boards), both the original and improved marksheets will not pose any problem. The improvement exam marks will be considered for your final marks in the respective subjects.

Important Points to Remember :

• Ensure that your improvement exam is taken within the allowed timeframe and within the academic year.
• The final eligibility for JEE Mains is based on the best marks, and there is no restriction on improvement exams as long as you meet the cutoff.

For the most accurate information, refer to the official JEE Mains website or JOSAA guidelines.
