Q:   Which IIT will conduct JEE Advanced 2025?

The exam is conducted by any one of the 7 IITs namely IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati, and IIT Roorkee or Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, under the aegis of the Joint Admission Board (JAB). Each IIT gets chance to conduct JEE Advanced exam on rotation basis.

Q:   What will happen without ST caste validity Certificate at the time of JoSAA document verification?

A:
If you belong to the ST category and do not have a valid caste Certificate at the time of JoSAA document verification, you may face some challenges in the admission process. The ST category Certificate is one of the essential documents required for the admission process, and not having a valid Certificate may lead to the rejection of your admission application. In case you do not have the ST caste validity Certificate at the time of JoSAA document verification, you may be given a provisional admission subject to the condition that you provide the Certificate at a later date. However, the admission will only be confirmed after you submit the valid Certificate. It is advisable to obtain the ST caste validity Certificate well in advance before the admission process to avoid any last-minute hassles. You can apply for the Certificate at the designated authorities in your state, and the process may take some time, so it is recommended to initiate the process as early as possible.

Q:   Should I take a drop for JEE Advanced?

A:
If you feel that you are not fully prepared for JEE Advanced and need more time to study and improve your skills, then taking a drop and preparing again can be a good option. This will give you more time to focus on your weaknesses, take additional coaching classes or online courses, and practice solving more problems. On the other hand, if you feel that you have prepared well and are confident about your abilities, then appearing for JEE Advanced this year may be the right decision for you. It is important to weigh the benefits and risks of each option and consider factors such as your academic goals, financial situation, and personal circumstances. Ultimately, the decision to take a drop or appear for JEE Advanced should be based on your individual situation and goals, and it is advisable to seek guidance from a trusted mentor or advisory to help you make an informed decision.

Q:   What is the JEE Advanced tie breaking policy?

A:

If the JEE Advanced aggregate marks scored by two or more candidates are the same, then the following tie-break policy will be used for awarding ranks: Step 1: Candidates having higher positive marks will be awarded higher rank. If the tie breaking criterion at Step 1 fails to break the tie, then the following criterion at Step 2 will be followed. Step 2: Higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Mathematics. If this does not break the tie, higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Physics. If there is a tie even after this, candidates will be assigned the same rank.
