JEE Advanced 2025 Attempt Limit: Supreme Court to Announce Decision Today

What is the JEE Advanced Attempt Limit Case?

The JAB, responsible for overseeing the JEE Advanced admissions to the esteemed Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), announced a policy change on November 5, 2024, increasing the number of attempts to three. However, only days later, on November 18, 2024, the authority reversed this decision and reinstated the previous limit of two attempts per candidate.

What is the Plea?

To challenge this sudden change in JEE Advanced attempt limit a group of 22 JEE aspirants have approached SC. The petitioners contend that the sudden change has caused them considerable hardship, as many had begun preparing for the exam under the assumption that a third attempt would be allowed. The petition emphasizes that several candidates had already registered for the JEE Main exam, enrolled in coaching programs, and made significant adjustments to their academic plans, including withdrawing from other college courses and cancelling SAT registrations, all based on the belief that the new attempt limit would apply. Additionally, the petitioners argue that the decision made by the JAB was arbitrary, lacked transparency, and was implemented without adequate consultation or the involvement of relevant stakeholders.

The petitioners have urged the Supreme Court to direct the authorities to annul the press release issued on November 18, 2024, and allow all students who passed Class XII in 2023 to be eligible for JEE Advanced 2025 under the new attempt limit.

As per the official website and the JEE Advanced 2025 information brochure, the current attempt limit is two attempts within two consecutive years. This means candidates who appeared for JEE Advanced in 2023 are ineligible for the 2025 exam, while those who first appeared in 2024 can attempt it again in 2025.

Q: Β  What minimum marks are required in JEE Mains to be eligible for JEE Advanced?

A:

The minimum marks required in JEE Mains to qualify for JEE Advanced 2025 will be announced with the JEE main 2025 final result after session 2 exams. Last year's minimum marks in JEE Mains to qualify for JEE Advanced were:

2024:

  • General (UR): 93.2362181
  • General (UR) PWD: 0.0018700
  • Economically Weaker Section (EWS): 81.3266412
  • Other Backward Classes (OBC): 79.6757881
  • Scheduled Caste (SC): 60.0923182
  • Scheduled Tribe (ST): 46.6975840

2023:

  • General (UR): 90.7788642
  • OBC-NCL: 73.6114227
  • SC: 51.9776027
  • ST: 37.2348772
  • GEN-EWS: 75.6229025
  • General (UR) PWD: 0.0013527

Candidates aiming for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) need to meet these cutoff marks in JEE Mains to be eligible for JEE Advanced 2025.

Q: Β  Which subjects do I have to study for JEE Advanced?

A:
JEE Advanced is a highly competitive exam that requires a thorough understanding of various topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Here are the topics and subtopics that you should focus on: A)Mathematics: 1.Algebra (especially complex numbers and quadratic equations): Complex numbers Quadratic equations Sequences and series Permutations and combinations Binomial theorem Mathematical induction 2.Trigonometry: Trigonometric functions and identities Inverse trigonometric functions 3:Analytical Geometry: Straight lines Circles Conic sections 4.Differential Calculus (especially limits, continuity, and differentiability): Limits, continuity, and differentiability Derivatives of elementary functions Applications of derivatives Maxima and minima 5.Integral Calculus (especially definite integrals and their properties): Indefinite integrals Definite integrals and their properties Applications of integrals 6.Vectors and 3D Geometry: Vectors and scalars Addition and subtraction of vectors Scalar and vector products Three-dimensional geometry B)Physics: 1.Mechanics: (especially laws of motion and rotational motion) Laws of motion Work, energy, and power Rotational motion Gravitation Elasticity Surface tension Fluid mechanics 2.Electrodynamics (especially electrostatics and electromagnetic induction): Electrostatics Current electricity Magnetic effects of current Electromagnetic induction Alternating currents 3.Optics (especially wave nature of light): Reflection and refraction of light Optical instruments Wave nature of light 4.Modern Physics: Atomic physics Nuclear physics Dual nature of matter and radiation Electromagnetic waves 5.Thermodynamics: Thermodynamic systems and processes Laws of thermodynamics Applications of thermodynamics C)Chemistry: 1.Physical Chemistry (especially chemical thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium): Basic concepts in Chemistry States of matter Chemical thermodynamics Chemical equilibrium Ionic equilibrium Electrochemistry Chemical kinetics 2.Inorganic Chemistry(especially chemical bonding and molecular structure): Periodic properties Chemical bonding and molecular structure Coordination compounds Metallurgy 3.Organic Chemistry(especially basic concepts in organic chemistry and hydrocarbons): Basic concepts in organic chemistry Hydrocarbons Alkyl halides Alcohol, phenols, and ethers Aldehydes and ketones Carboxylic acids and their derivatives Amines Biomolecules Again, it's important to note that each topic is essential for JEE Advanced, and you should strive to have a strong foundation in all of them. Focusing on the major topics will help you prioritize your preparation and allocate your time and resources more effectively.

Q: Β  How many attempts are there for JEE Advanced?

A:

A candidate can attempt JEE Advanced two times in two consecutive years. The candidates who will be appearing for JEE Advanced 2025 for the first time, can also appear for JEE Advanced 2026. Similary, candidates who have attempted JEE Advanced in 2024 for the first time can attempt JEE Advanced 2025. However, the candidates who have attempted JEE Advanced 2023 cannot attempt JEE Advanced 2025, as only two consecitive attempts are allowed in the exam.
