Tue Nov 19 09:22:33 UTC 2024: ## JEE Advanced 2025 Reverts to Two Attempt Limit

**NEW DELHI, November 16, 2024** – The Joint Admission Board (JAB) has reversed its recent decision to allow three attempts at the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced, returning to the previous limit of two attempts. The change, announced today, supersedes a November 5th press release that had increased the allowed attempts.

The JAB cited “various competing requirements” in its decision to reinstate the eligibility criteria used since 2013. This means candidates for JEE Advanced 2025 will only be eligible to take the exam twice in consecutive years.

All other eligibility criteria remain unchanged. These include the age limit (born on or after October 1, 2000, with a five-year relaxation for SC, ST, and PwD candidates), and restrictions on candidates previously admitted to an IIT, regardless of whether they completed the program. Candidates who had their IIT admission cancelled, or who were allocated a seat but did not report or withdrew before the final round of seat allotment, are still eligible. Candidates admitted to an IIT preparatory course in 2024 are also eligible.

The JAB’s decision marks a significant shift for aspiring IIT students, returning the exam’s eligibility requirements to their pre-November status.
