Tue Nov 19 12:19:05 UTC 2024: ## JEE Advanced Reverts to Two-Attempt Limit for 2025

**NEW DELHI, Nov 16, 2024** – The Joint Admission Board (JAB) announced today a reversal of its recent decision to allow three attempts at the JEE Advanced exam. The board has reinstated the two-attempt limit, effective for the 2025 examination.

This decision, made during a meeting on November 15th, contradicts a November 5th press release that temporarily increased the number of allowed attempts to three for the current year. The JAB cited a return to longstanding eligibility guidelines, in place since 2013, as the reason for the change. All other eligibility criteria remain unchanged.

For JEE Advanced 2025, candidates must meet the following requirements:

* **Age Limit:** Born on or after October 1, 2000 (SC, ST, and PwD candidates have a five-year relaxation).
* **Educational Qualifications:** Successful completion of Class 12 (or equivalent) in 2023, 2024, or 2025 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Candidates who completed Class 12 in 2022 or earlier are ineligible. Candidates admitted to an IIT preparatory course in 2024 are eligible, unless their admission was subsequently cancelled.

The JAB maintains its category-specific distribution for candidate shortlisting: 10% GEN-EWS, 27% OBC-NCL, 15% SC, 7.5% ST, and 40.5% Open category.
