The HRD Ministry took a significant decision regarding JEE exams and decided that class 12 marks of the students will not be taken into account while admitting them to undergraduate courses of engineering. This rule will be applicable to all engineering aspirants from next year.

The percentages of various categories are as follows:

  • 27 per cent for OBC-NCL
  • 15 per cent for SC
  • 7.5 per cent for ST and the remaining 50.5 per cent is open for all.

Within each of these four categories, 3 per cent horizontal reservation is available for PWD (including dyslexic) candidates.

 Total attempts:

A candidate is allowed to appear for JEE (Advanced) a maximum of two times in consecutive years. Therefore, candidates who appeared in JEE (Advanced) 2016 for the first time are also eligible.
