Hi

You have tagged jee main

No, your age will not affect your rank it doesn't matter even if you are 20 year old or whatever your age is.

This is because,

Now, the age of actor has been removed by NTA

.Earlier for tie breaking situation when two students used to get same marks then the one older in age use to get the better rank but now this age factor has been dissolved so if two students now get the same number then they would get the same rank.

You can check the same at our page for which link is provided below:-

1--- Age criteria :- There is no age limit to appear in JEE-Main but note that there might be the age limit in any particular institution taking admission through JEE-Main score, so you should keep this thing in mind.

2--- Qualifying Examination :- To be eligible for JEE-Main one should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Mathematics as mandatory subjects along with one of the Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/ Technical Vocational subject from any of the recognized central or state board.
