Hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great.

With reference to your above mentioned query, i would like to tell you that taking Double drop for IIT JEE is not good, although there is no age limit to give this exam. This is because you won't be eligible then, to give JEE advance examination. Please note that every candidate can give the JEE advance examination for only two times. Therefore, taking double drop is not worth at all.

Further, if you would like to know more information about the JEE mains and advance you can follow the below mentioned link :

I hope that will help.

Hi

For jee main, there's no age limit . So age doesn't matter.

One is eligible for 3 consecutive year starting from the year of appearing for 12th board examination so yes you can take 2 years of drop after class 12th and that will be your last attempt for JEE main.
