**NEW DELHI** – The Joint Admission Board (JAB) announced a reversal of its recent decision, reverting to a two-attempt limit for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced. Earlier this month, the board had approved allowing candidates three attempts over three consecutive years. However, following a meeting on November 15th, the JAB decided to reinstate the previous policy, in effect since 2013, limiting candidates to only two attempts.

All other eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced 2025 remain unchanged, as detailed on November 5th and available at jeeadv.ac.in. Key requirements include:

* **JEE (Main) Performance:** Ranking within the top 250,000 candidates (across all categories) in the BE/B.Tech paper (Paper 1) of JEE Main 2025.
* **Age Limit:** Born on or after October 1, 2000 (with relaxations for SC, ST, and PwD candidates).
* **Class 12 Qualification:** First-time appearance in the Class 12 (or equivalent) exam in 2023, 2024, or 2025 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
* **No Prior IIT Admission:** Candidates who have previously been admitted to an IIT course (except those whose admission was cancelled after joining or who are enrolled in preparatory courses starting in 2024) are ineligible.

Meanwhile, the National Testing Agency (NTA), responsible for conducting the JEE Main, reiterated that the application deadline remains September 22nd, with a correction window available from November 26th to 27th. There will be no extension to the application deadline.
