3Eligibility Criteriaपात्रता निकष Latest Available Official Info (2026 rules)
Age criteriaवय निकष
There is no upper age limit to appear in JEE Main. What matters is the year in which a candidate passed (or is appearing for) the Class 12 / equivalent qualifying examination.JEE Main देण्यासाठी कमाल वयाची मर्यादा नाही. महत्त्वाचे म्हणजे उमेदवाराने Class 12 / समकक्ष qualifying परीक्षा कोणत्या वर्षी उत्तीर्ण केली (किंवा देत आहे).
Year of passing Class 12Class 12 उत्तीर्ण झाल्याचे वर्ष
Under the 2026 rules, candidates who passed Class 12 (or equivalent) in 2024 or 2025, or who were appearing in Class 12 in 2026, were eligible. By the same pattern, JEE Main 2027 would be expected to allow the two immediately preceding passing years plus current-year appearing candidates — but the exact years must come from the official 2027 bulletin.2026 च्या नियमांनुसार, 2024 किंवा 2025 मध्ये Class 12 (किंवा समकक्ष) उत्तीर्ण झालेले, किंवा 2026 मध्ये Class 12 देत असलेले उमेदवार पात्र होते. त्याच पॅटर्ननुसार, JEE Main 2027 साठीही मागील दोन उत्तीर्ण वर्षे व चालू वर्षी देणारे उमेदवार पात्र असण्याची अपेक्षा आहे — पण नेमकी वर्षे अधिकृत 2027 bulletin मधूनच कळतील.
Passing year rule: The "passing year" is the year in which a candidate's Class 12 result was declared "pass" for the very first time. An improvement attempt in a later year does not reset this — so a student who first passed in 2023 and then took an improvement exam in 2024 is still treated as a 2023 pass-out.Passing year नियम: "passing year" म्हणजे ज्या वर्षी उमेदवाराचा Class 12 result प्रथमच "pass" म्हणून जाहीर झाला ते वर्ष. नंतरच्या वर्षीचा improvement attempt यात बदल करत नाही — त्यामुळे 2023 मध्ये प्रथम उत्तीर्ण होऊन 2024 मध्ये improvement exam दिलेला विद्यार्थी अजूनही 2023 चा pass-out मानला जातो.

- Higher Secondary Certificate Vocational ExaminationHigher Secondary Certificate Vocational Examination
- A 3-year (or longer) diploma recognised by AICTE or a State Board of Technical EducationAICTE किंवा State Board of Technical Education मान्यताप्राप्त 3-वर्षीय (किंवा त्याहून अधिक) diploma
- Cambridge/London GCE "A" level exam, or Cambridge High School Certificate / IB DiplomaCambridge/London GCE "A" level exam, किंवा Cambridge High School Certificate / IB Diploma
- Where Class 12 was not a public exam, the candidate must have passed at least one earlier public (Board/Pre-University) examजर Class 12 सार्वजनिक (public) परीक्षा नसेल, तर उमेदवाराने त्यापूर्वीची किमान एक सार्वजनिक (Board/Pre-University) परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण केलेली असावी
State of eligibility — a common point of confusionState of eligibility — एक सामान्य गोंधळाचा मुद्दा
The "State code of eligibility" is based on where the candidate passed Class 12, not the candidate's home state or residence. E.g., a Noida resident who passed Class 12 from a Delhi school gets Delhi as the state of eligibility. NIOS candidates take the state where their study centre is located. Candidates who passed from one state but improved from another retain the state of their first pass."State code of eligibility" हे उमेदवाराने Class 12 कुठे उत्तीर्ण केले यावर आधारित असते, त्याच्या मूळ राज्यावर किंवा वास्तव्यावर नाही. उदा., Noida येथे राहणारा पण Delhi च्या शाळेतून Class 12 उत्तीर्ण झालेला उमेदवार Delhi हे state of eligibility म्हणून घेतो. NIOS उमेदवार त्यांच्या study centre असलेले राज्य घेतात. एका राज्यातून उत्तीर्ण होऊन दुसऱ्या राज्यातून improvement केलेले उमेदवार त्यांच्या पहिल्या pass चे राज्य कायम ठेवतात.
Important: Clearing JEE Main only makes a candidate eligible to apply for admission. Each admitting institute may layer additional eligibility conditions (e.g. minimum Class 12 marks) on top — see Section 15 on the difference between qualifying JEE Main and being eligible for actual admission.महत्त्वाचे: JEE Main clear केल्याने उमेदवार फक्त प्रवेशासाठी अर्ज करण्यास पात्र ठरतो. प्रत्येक admitting institute त्यावर अतिरिक्त पात्रता अटी (उदा. किमान Class 12 गुण) लावू शकते — JEE Main qualify करणे व प्रत्यक्ष प्रवेशासाठी पात्र असणे यातील फरकासाठी Section 15 पाहा.
4Subject & Course Requirementsविषय व Course आवश्यकता
NTA itself does not mandate a fixed Class 12 subject combination to sit for JEE Main — but the subjects a candidate studied in Class 12 determine which admission route (Paper 1/2A/2B) they can actually use later, because admitting institutes (via JoSAA/CSAB rules) require specific subject combinations:
| Admission route | Class 12 subject requirement (as per current CSAB/JoSAA rules) |
| Programmes based on Paper 1 rank (B.E./B.Tech) | Physics, Mathematics, a language, one of Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/Technical Vocational subject, and one more subject |
| Programmes based on Paper 2A rank (B.Arch) | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and two more subjects |
| Programmes based on Paper 2B rank (B.Planning) | Mathematics and four other subjects |
In addition, for NIT+ System admission (NITs/IIEST/IIITs/GFTIs), a candidate must either score at least 75% aggregate in the best five Class 12 subjects (65% for SC/ST/PwD candidates), or be in the top 20 percentile of their respective board — whichever condition is met. This is a JoSAA/CSAB admission rule, separate from JEE Main eligibility, and JoSAA/CSAB reserve the right to revise it.
Note: Individual institutes outside the NIT+ System (state colleges, private/deemed universities) may set their own, different subject/marks criteria — always confirm with the specific institute.

Step 1 — RegistrationStep 1 — Registration
Register on the official portal with basic personal details, mobile number and email ID; create a password and choose a security question. A system-generated Application Number is issued — note it down carefully, as it is used for both sessions and all future correspondence.मूलभूत वैयक्तिक तपशील, मोबाईल क्रमांक व email ID सह अधिकृत portal वर register करा; password तयार करा व security question निवडा. system-generated Application Number दिला जातो — तो काळजीपूर्वक नोंदवून ठेवा, कारण तो दोन्ही sessions व भविष्यातील सर्व पत्रव्यवहारासाठी वापरला जातो.
Step 2 — Filling the Application FormStep 2 — Application Form भरणे
Log in with the Application Number and password, then complete:Application Number व password ने login करा, नंतर पूर्ण करा:
- Personal details (name as per Class 10 certificate, DOB, gender, category, nationality, address, parent/guardian details)वैयक्तिक तपशील (Class 10 certificate नुसार नाव, जन्मतारीख, लिंग, category, राष्ट्रीयत्व, पत्ता, पालक/guardian तपशील)
- Choice of Paper (1, 2A, 2B, or combinations)Paper ची निवड (1, 2A, 2B, किंवा combinations)
- Choice of examination cities (in order of preference)परीक्षा शहरांची निवड (प्राधान्यक्रमानुसार)
- Academic/qualifying examination details (board, roll number if appearing in 2027)Academic/qualifying परीक्षा तपशील (board, 2027 मध्ये देत असल्यास roll number)
- Choice of question paper medium/languageप्रश्नपत्रिकेच्या माध्यम/भाषेची निवड
- PwD/PwBD declaration, if applicablePwD/PwBD declaration, लागू असल्यास
Step 3 — Uploading DocumentsStep 3 — कागदपत्रे Upload करणे
Upload a live photograph at the time of filling the form, plus scanned photograph, signature, Class 10 certificate/mark sheet, and (where applicable) identity proof and disability certificate, matching the size/format limits listed above. Common mistakes: blurry/cropped photos, signature on a coloured background, wrong file size, and using an old photo that doesn't match the candidate's current appearance.form भरतानाच live photograph upload करा, तसेच scanned photograph, signature, Class 10 certificate/mark sheet, आणि (लागू असल्यास) ओळख पुरावा व disability certificate, वरील दिलेल्या size/format मर्यादांनुसार. सामान्य चुका: अस्पष्ट/cropped फोटो, रंगीत पार्श्वभूमीवरील signature, चुकीचा file size, आणि उमेदवाराच्या सध्याच्या दिसण्याशी जुळत नसलेला जुना फोटो वापरणे.
Step 4 — Fee PaymentStep 4 — Fee Payment
Fee is payable online only — Net Banking, Credit Card, Debit Card, or UPI. Processing charges and applicable GST are added by the bank/payment gateway on top of the base exam fee (see Section 17 for the fee table). The Confirmation Page is generated only after successful payment; if it is not generated despite payment, the candidate must contact the bank/payment gateway helpline (given in the bulletin) for confirmation or refund of a duplicate payment.Fee फक्त online भरता येते — Net Banking, Credit Card, Debit Card, किंवा UPI. मूळ exam fee वर bank/payment gateway कडून processing charges व लागू GST जोडले जातात (fee table साठी Section 17 पाहा). यशस्वी payment नंतरच Confirmation Page तयार होते; payment करूनही ते तयार न झाल्यास, confirmation किंवा duplicate payment च्या refund साठी उमेदवाराने bank/payment gateway helpline (bulletin मध्ये दिलेली) शी संपर्क साधावा.
Step 5 — Final SubmissionStep 5 — अंतिम Submission
Carefully preview all details before final submission. Download and keep multiple copies (digital + printed) of the Confirmation Page — it is not resent later. Some fields can be changed only during the separate Correction Window (Section 9); others can never be changed after submission.अंतिम submission पूर्वी सर्व तपशील काळजीपूर्वक तपासा. Confirmation Page च्या अनेक प्रती (digital + printed) download करून ठेवा — ती नंतर पुन्हा पाठवली जात नाही. काही fields फक्त वेगळ्या Correction Window (Section 9) दरम्यानच बदलता येतात; इतर submission नंतर कधीही बदलता येत नाहीत.
Critical rule: A candidate must submit only one Application Form. Submitting more than one form is treated as an Unfair Means (UFM) case and leads to cancellation of candidature/result, even if discovered later.महत्त्वाचा नियम: उमेदवाराने फक्त एकच Application Form सादर करावा. एकापेक्षा जास्त form सादर करणे हे Unfair Means (UFM) प्रकरण मानले जाते आणि नंतर उघड झाले तरी candidature/result रद्द केले जाते.

Certificate rules — what to knowCertificate नियम — काय जाणून घ्यावे
- EWS certificate: Must be issued in the financial year relevant to the admission cycle, as per prevailing government norms — an old/expired-format EWS certificate is a common rejection reason.EWS certificate: प्रवेश cycle शी संबंधित आर्थिक वर्षात, सध्याच्या सरकारी नियमांनुसार जारी केलेले असावे — जुने/कालबाह्य format चे EWS certificate हे नाकारण्याचे सामान्य कारण आहे.
- OBC-NCL certificate: Must confirm "Non-Creamy Layer" status and be current; OBC candidates in only the state list (not the central list) cannot claim central reservation.OBC-NCL certificate: "Non-Creamy Layer" स्थिती स्पष्ट करणारे व चालू असावे; फक्त state list मधील (central list मध्ये नसलेले) OBC उमेदवार central reservation चा दावा करू शकत नाहीत.
- Who issues these certificates: Competent authorities designated by the respective state/central government (e.g., SDM/Tehsildar/District Magistrate as notified) — NTA itself does not issue these.ही certificates कोण जारी करते: संबंधित state/central सरकारने नियुक्त केलेल्या सक्षम authorities (उदा. जाहीर केल्याप्रमाणे SDM/Tehsildar/District Magistrate) — NTA स्वतः ही जारी करत नाही.
- When is it needed: Category is declared at the application stage, but the certificate is verified rigorously at the counselling/admission stage by JoSAA/CSAB or the admitting institute.कधी आवश्यक असते: application टप्प्यावर category जाहीर केली जाते, पण counselling/प्रवेश टप्प्यावर JoSAA/CSAB किंवा admitting institute कडून certificate ची कठोर पडताळणी केली जाते.
- If a certificate turns out invalid: The candidate can lose the reserved-category benefit, may be shifted to General/Open category if eligible, or may face cancellation of admission — decided by the counselling authority, not NTA.certificate अवैध ठरल्यास: उमेदवार reserved-category चा लाभ गमावू शकतो, पात्र असल्यास General/Open category मध्ये हलवला जाऊ शकतो, किंवा प्रवेश रद्द होऊ शकतो — हा निर्णय counselling authority घेते, NTA नाही.
PwD/PwBD provisionsPwD/PwBD सुविधा
Governed by the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and subsequent Government of India Office Memoranda. Key facilities:Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 व त्यानंतरच्या Government of India Office Memoranda द्वारे नियंत्रित. मुख्य सुविधा:
- Scribe/Reader/Lab Assistant: Automatically allowed for candidates with blindness, both-arms-affected locomotor disability, or cerebral palsy, if desired. For other benchmark disabilities, allowed on production of a certificate of physical limitation to write from a Government Chief Medical Officer/Civil Surgeon.Scribe/Reader/Lab Assistant: दृष्टिहीन, दोन्ही हात प्रभावित locomotor अपंगत्व, किंवा cerebral palsy असलेल्या उमेदवारांना इच्छा असल्यास आपोआप परवानगी. इतर benchmark अपंगत्वांसाठी, Government Chief Medical Officer/Civil Surgeon कडून लिहिण्यास शारीरिक मर्यादा असल्याचे certificate सादर केल्यास परवानगी.
- Own scribe: Permitted if the scribe's qualification is one level below the candidate's; requires a signed undertaking.स्वतःचा scribe: scribe ची qualification उमेदवारापेक्षा एक level कमी असल्यास परवानगी; स्वाक्षरी केलेले undertaking आवश्यक.
- Compensatory time: Minimum 20 minutes per hour of exam; eligible PwBD candidates get at least 1 extra hour for a 3-hour paper regardless of whether they use a scribe.Compensatory time: परीक्षेच्या प्रत्येक तासासाठी किमान 20 मिनिटे; पात्र PwBD उमेदवारांना scribe वापरतात की नाही याची पर्वा न करता 3-तासांच्या paper साठी किमान 1 तास अतिरिक्त मिळतो.
- A valid UDID (Unique Disability Identification) certificate must be uploaded with the application.application सोबत वैध UDID (Unique Disability Identification) certificate upload करणे आवश्यक आहे.
- Misuse of the scribe/compensatory-time facility without genuine eligibility leads to exclusion from evaluation, ranking, counselling and admission — even after admission is granted.खरी पात्रता नसताना scribe/compensatory-time सुविधेचा गैरवापर केल्यास evaluation, ranking, counselling व प्रवेशातून वगळले जाते — प्रवेश मिळाल्यानंतरही.
Remember: NTA administers the JEE Main exam-day category/PwBD facilities; final verification of category and disability certificates for actual admission happens later, during JoSAA/CSAB or institute-level counselling.लक्षात ठेवा: NTA JEE Main परीक्षेच्या दिवशीच्या category/PwBD सुविधा हाताळते; प्रत्यक्ष प्रवेशासाठी category व disability certificates ची अंतिम पडताळणी नंतर, JoSAA/CSAB किंवा institute-level counselling दरम्यान होते.
9Correction / Edit WindowCorrection / Edit कालावधी
NTA typically opens a short Correction Window after the application closes, allowing candidates to fix certain fields for a small fee per correction (exact fields and fee are notified separately each cycle and were not fixed at the time of writing for 2027). Historically:application बंद झाल्यानंतर NTA साधारणपणे एक छोटा Correction Window उघडते, ज्यामुळे उमेदवार काही fields प्रति correction थोड्या fee मध्ये दुरुस्त करू शकतात (नेमकी fields व fee प्रत्येक cycle साठी स्वतंत्रपणे जाहीर केली जातात व लेखनाच्या वेळी 2027 साठी निश्चित नव्हती). ऐतिहासिकदृष्ट्या:
- Fields such as category, gender, paper choice, exam city preferences, and photograph/signature have sometimes been correctable within the window — but this varies year to year and must be checked against the live correction notice.category, gender, paper choice, exam city preferences, आणि photograph/signature यासारखी fields कधी कधी window मध्ये दुरुस्त करता येतात — पण हे दरवर्षी बदलते व live correction notice नुसार तपासावे लागते.
- Core identity details (name, date of birth) are corrected only in very limited circumstances and generally require supporting documents.मुख्य ओळख तपशील (नाव, जन्मतारीख) फक्त अगदी मर्यादित परिस्थितीतच दुरुस्त केले जातात व सामान्यतः supporting documents आवश्यक असतात.
- No corrections are possible once the window closes or after the admit card is issued.window बंद झाल्यावर किंवा admit card जारी झाल्यावर कोणतीही दुरुस्ती शक्य नाही.
- Multiple corrections within the window are sometimes allowed — always check the specific notice for that cycle.window मध्ये कधी कधी अनेक वेळा दुरुस्ती करण्याची परवानगी असते — नेहमी त्या cycle च्या विशिष्ट notice नुसार तपासा.
Not yet announced for 2027: Exact correctable fields, correction fee and correction dates will be published by NTA closer to the 2027 application cycle. Do not assume 2026 correction rules will repeat exactly.2027 साठी अजून जाहीर नाही: नेमकी दुरुस्ती करता येणारी fields, correction fee व तारखा 2027 च्या application cycle जवळ NTA कडून प्रसिद्ध केल्या जातील. 2026 चे correction नियम तसेच पुनरावृत्त होतील असे गृहीत धरू नका.

Unfair Means (UFM) — what countsUnfair Means (UFM) — काय गणले जाते
Possessing a prohibited item, impersonation, communicating with anyone other than exam staff, copying, tampering with documents, using the same/multiple credentials, screen recording, and several other listed acts are treated as Unfair Means under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. Penalties can include debarment for up to 3 years and criminal action, with the current result cancelled and no appeal entertained.प्रतिबंधित वस्तू बाळगणे, impersonation, exam staff व्यतिरिक्त कोणाशीही संपर्क साधणे, copying, कागदपत्रांशी छेडछाड, तीच/अनेक credentials वापरणे, screen recording, आणि इतर अनेक नमूद कृती Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024 अंतर्गत Unfair Means मानल्या जातात. शिक्षेत 3 वर्षांपर्यंत debarment व फौजदारी कारवाई समाविष्ट असू शकते, चालू result रद्द करून कोणतेही appeal स्वीकारले जात नाही.
Tip: Reach the centre well before the reporting time on the admit card. Choice of city, centre and shift on the admit card cannot be changed under any circumstances.Tip: admit card वरील reporting time च्या बऱ्याच आधी centre वर पोहोचा. admit card वरील city, centre व shift ची निवड कोणत्याही परिस्थितीत बदलता येत नाही.

12Result, Score, Percentile & RankResult, Score, Percentile व Rank
NTA Score, not raw marksNTA Score, raw marks नाही
Because the exam runs across many shifts (with different question sets), raw marks are not directly comparable across shifts. NTA converts each candidate's raw score in each subject — and the overall total — into a percentile-based NTA Score using a normalisation procedure, separately for every shift. The percentile shows the relative performance of a candidate compared to all other candidates in that shift.परीक्षा अनेक shifts मध्ये (वेगवेगळ्या प्रश्नसंचांसह) घेतली जात असल्याने, raw marks shifts मध्ये थेट तुलना करता येत नाहीत. NTA प्रत्येक उमेदवाराचे प्रत्येक विषयातील raw score — आणि एकूण total — प्रत्येक shift साठी स्वतंत्रपणे normalisation पद्धतीने percentile-आधारित NTA Score मध्ये रूपांतरित करते. percentile त्या shift मधील इतर सर्व उमेदवारांच्या तुलनेत उमेदवाराची सापेक्ष कामगिरी दाखवते.
Merging sessionsSessions एकत्र करणे
Where a candidate appears in both Session 1 and Session 2, the best of the two total NTA scores (not subject-wise, but overall total) is used for the final merit list/rank. Individual-subject NTA scores from different sessions are not mixed.उमेदवार Session 1 व Session 2 दोन्हीत बसल्यास, अंतिम merit list/rank साठी दोन्ही एकूण NTA scores पैकी सर्वोत्तम (विषय-निहाय नाही, एकूण total) वापरले जाते. वेगवेगळ्या sessions मधील वैयक्तिक-विषय NTA scores एकत्र मिसळले जात नाहीत.
All India Rank (AIR) and category rankAll India Rank (AIR) व category rank
The final Score/Rank Card shows the candidate's NTA score for each session, the best total, and both the All India Rank and the All India category rank. The AIR is compiled and declared only after Session 2 concludes. Only the AIR (not raw marks or percentile alone) is used for JoSAA/CSAB seat allocation to NITs/IIITs/GFTIs.अंतिम Score/Rank Card मध्ये उमेदवाराचे प्रत्येक session साठीचे NTA score, सर्वोत्तम total, आणि All India Rank व All India category rank दोन्ही दाखवले जातात. AIR फक्त Session 2 संपल्यानंतरच संकलित करून जाहीर केला जातो. NITs/IIITs/GFTIs साठीच्या JoSAA/CSAB seat allocation साठी फक्त AIR (raw marks किंवा फक्त percentile नाही) वापरला जातो.
Re-evaluationRe-evaluation
There is no provision for re-evaluation or re-checking of the JEE Main result; the result is final based on the declared final answer key.JEE Main result साठी re-evaluation किंवा re-checking ची कोणतीही तरतूद नाही; जाहीर केलेल्या final answer key वर आधारित result अंतिम असते.
Downloading the resultResult Download करणे
Score/rank cards are published only on the official NTA/JEE Main websites — nothing is sent by post. A copy of the final NTA score is typically emailed to the candidate's registered email address.Score/rank cards फक्त अधिकृत NTA/JEE Main websites वरच प्रसिद्ध केले जातात — पोस्टाने काहीही पाठवले जात नाही. अंतिम NTA score ची प्रत साधारणपणे उमेदवाराच्या नोंदणीकृत email address वर पाठवली जाते.
2026 result snapshot2026 result थोडक्यात Latest Available Official Info
For reference, JEE Main 2026 saw roughly 13.04 lakh candidates in Session 1 and 10.30 lakh in Session 2, with a combined unique-candidate count of about 15.5 lakh — a record. 26 candidates secured a perfect 100 NTA score. These figures are historical (2026) and will differ for 2027.संदर्भासाठी, JEE Main 2026 मध्ये Session 1 मध्ये साधारण 13.04 लाख व Session 2 मध्ये 10.30 लाख उमेदवार होते, एकत्रित unique-उमेदवार संख्या सुमारे 15.5 लाख — एक विक्रम. 26 उमेदवारांनी परिपूर्ण 100 NTA score मिळवला. हे आकडे ऐतिहासिक (2026) आहेत व 2027 साठी वेगळे असतील.
Percentile-to-AIR — how to read your rankPercentile-ते-AIR — तुमचा rank कसा समजून घ्यावा Spectrum Coaches Exam Analysis
NTA does not publish a direct percentile-to-rank conversion chart, but the relationship can be reasonably estimated from the total number of candidates using: Approx. AIR ≈ ((100 − Percentile) ÷ 100) × Total Candidates. Applying this to the ~15.5 lakh candidate base of 2026 gives the following illustrative picture (for 2027, the candidate count and hence exact ranks will differ):NTA थेट percentile-ते-rank conversion chart प्रसिद्ध करत नाही, पण एकूण उमेदवार संख्येवरून हे नाते अंदाजे काढता येते: अंदाजे AIR ≈ ((100 − Percentile) ÷ 100) × एकूण उमेदवार. 2026 च्या ~15.5 लाख उमेदवार आधारावर हे लागू केल्यास खालील उदाहरणदाखल चित्र मिळते (2027 साठी, उमेदवार संख्या व त्यामुळे नेमके ranks वेगळे असतील):
| PercentilePercentile | Approx. AIR (General, 2026 base)अंदाजे AIR (General, 2026 आधार) | Approx. Marks Rangeअंदाजे गुणांची Range | Best Suited Forकशासाठी सर्वोत्तम |

| 90.0 | ≈ 1,55,000 | ≈ 70 – 110 | GFTIs / state collegesGFTIs / state colleges |
Score targets for planning (calibrated to the 2026 cycle): ≈205–230 marks for a safe 99.5+ percentile shot at top NIT CSE; ≈250–290 marks for a genuine top-IIT CSE run via JEE Advanced; ≈80–100 marks as the bare JEE Advanced eligibility floor (General category) — with the clear caveat that the exact bar shifts every year with paper difficulty and candidate count.नियोजनासाठी score लक्ष्य (2026 cycle नुसार calibrated): top NIT CSE साठी सुरक्षित 99.5+ percentile साठी ≈205–230 गुण; JEE Advanced द्वारे खरा top-IIT CSE साठी ≈250–290 गुण; JEE Advanced पात्रतेची किमान मर्यादा (General category) म्हणून ≈80–100 गुण — पण हे स्पष्ट लक्षात ठेवा की नेमकी मर्यादा दरवर्षी paper च्या अवघडपणा व उमेदवार संख्येनुसार बदलते.
Read this with caution: This table is Spectrum Coaches' own illustrative estimate for orientation — the actual AIR and marks needed for any percentile depend on the exact candidate count and category-wise distribution of that specific year, which is only known after NTA declares results. It is not an NTA-published figure and must not be treated as a guarantee.हे सावधगिरीने वाचा: हे table फक्त Spectrum Coaches चा स्वतःचा उदाहरणदाखल अंदाज आहे — कोणत्याही percentile साठी लागणारा प्रत्यक्ष AIR व गुण त्या विशिष्ट वर्षीच्या नेमक्या उमेदवार संख्येवर व category-निहाय वितरणावर अवलंबून असतात, जे NTA result जाहीर केल्यावरच कळते. हा NTA-प्रकाशित आकडा नाही व याला हमी मानू नये.
13Attempts & Number of ChancesAttempts व संधींची संख्या
- Any number of the qualifying years' pass-outs (as fixed each year in the bulletin) can appear, and there is no cap on lifetime attempts across different years within that eligible window — but appearing in more than one exam session within the same year still only allows the best score of those sessions to count.bulletin मध्ये दरवर्षी ठरवल्याप्रमाणे qualifying वर्षांचे कितीही pass-outs बसू शकतात, आणि त्या पात्र कालावधीत वेगवेगळ्या वर्षांतील lifetime attempts वर मर्यादा नाही — पण त्याच वर्षी एकापेक्षा जास्त exam session मध्ये बसल्यास त्या sessions पैकी फक्त सर्वोत्तम score गणला जातो.
- A candidate can attempt both sessions in a given year (this is not counted as two separate "attempts" against a lifetime cap — it is simply two sessions of the same year's exam).एक उमेदवार एका वर्षात दोन्ही sessions देऊ शकतो (हे lifetime cap विरुद्ध दोन वेगळे "attempts" म्हणून गणले जात नाही — ते फक्त त्याच वर्षीच्या परीक्षेचे दोन sessions आहेत).
- Appearing in a Session more than once (e.g., trying to sit for the same session twice through irregular means) leads to cancellation of candidature and debarment — this is treated as UFM, not as a legitimate extra attempt.एका Session मध्ये एकापेक्षा जास्त वेळा बसणे (उदा. अनियमित मार्गाने त्याच session मध्ये दोनदा बसण्याचा प्रयत्न) यामुळे candidature रद्द होते व debarment होते — हे कायदेशीर अतिरिक्त attempt नाही तर UFM मानले जाते.
- An improvement exam for Class 12 in a later year does not extend JEE Main eligibility, since the "passing year" is fixed at the year of first pass (see Section 3).नंतरच्या वर्षी Class 12 साठी improvement exam दिल्याने JEE Main पात्रता वाढत नाही, कारण "passing year" प्रथम उत्तीर्ण झालेल्या वर्षीच निश्चित होते (Section 3 पाहा).
Not yet announced for 2027: The exact qualifying pass-out years (and hence how many total "attempt years" a given student gets) will only be confirmed in the 2027 bulletin.2027 साठी अजून जाहीर नाही: नेमकी qualifying pass-out वर्षे (आणि त्यामुळे विद्यार्थ्याला किती एकूण "attempt years" मिळतात) फक्त 2027 च्या bulletin मध्येच निश्चित होतील.
14Cut-offCut-off
JEE Main involves different, distinct cut-offs — students often confuse these:JEE Main मध्ये वेगवेगळे, स्वतंत्र cut-offs असतात — विद्यार्थी अनेकदा यात गोंधळ करतात:
- JEE Advanced qualifying cut-off: A minimum percentile/rank in Paper 1, category-wise, that a candidate must cross to be eligible to register for JEE Advanced. This is announced only after each year's result, and JEE Advanced eligibility also requires being within the top ~2.5 lakh (approx., subject to change) candidates category-wise, among other conditions.JEE Advanced qualifying cut-off: JEE Advanced साठी register करण्यास पात्र होण्यासाठी Paper 1 मध्ये, category-निहाय, उमेदवाराने ओलांडणे आवश्यक असलेला किमान percentile/rank. हा फक्त त्या वर्षीच्या result नंतरच जाहीर केला जातो, आणि JEE Advanced पात्रतेसाठी इतर अटींसह category-निहाय top ~2.5 लाख (अंदाजे, बदलू शकते) उमेदवारांत असणेही आवश्यक आहे.
- Admission/counselling cut-off: The closing rank at which seats fill up at a particular institute/branch/category in JoSAA/CSAB counselling — this changes every round and every year based on demand and seat matrix.Admission/counselling cut-off: JoSAA/CSAB counselling मध्ये एखाद्या विशिष्ट institute/branch/category च्या जागा भरल्या जाणारा closing rank — हा मागणी व seat matrix नुसार प्रत्येक फेरी व वर्षानुसार बदलतो.
- College/branch-wise cut-off: Varies institute to institute, branch to branch, category to category, and home-state vs other-state quota.College/branch-निहाय cut-off: institute, branch, category, आणि home-state वि. other-state कोटा यानुसार बदलतो.
Important: Previous years' cut-offs (2024, 2025, 2026) are useful only as historical reference for gauging difficulty/competitiveness. They must never be presented or relied upon as 2027 cut-offs — 2027 cut-offs will depend on that year's paper difficulty, number of candidates, and seat matrix, and will only be known after JoSAA/CSAB counselling concludes.महत्त्वाचे: मागील वर्षांचे cut-offs (2024, 2025, 2026) फक्त अवघडपणा/स्पर्धात्मकता समजून घेण्यासाठी ऐतिहासिक संदर्भ म्हणून उपयुक्त आहेत. त्यांना कधीही 2027 चे cut-offs म्हणून सादर करू नये किंवा त्यावर अवलंबून राहू नये — 2027 चे cut-offs त्या वर्षीच्या paper च्या अवघडपणावर, उमेदवार संख्येवर, व seat matrix वर अवलंबून असतील, आणि JoSAA/CSAB counselling संपल्यानंतरच कळतील.

Around 2,50,182 candidates qualified for JEE Advanced 2026 across all categories — broadly similar to the ~2.50 lakh who qualified in 2025. Cut-offs rose for every category in 2026 compared to 2025, most sharply for ST (+4.11 percentile). These percentiles are official NTA figures for 2026; the 2027 qualifying percentile will only be known after JEE Main 2027 Session 2 results are declared.सर्व categories मध्ये मिळून सुमारे 2,50,182 उमेदवार JEE Advanced 2026 साठी पात्र ठरले — 2025 मध्ये पात्र ठरलेल्या ~2.50 लाख इतकेच साधारण. 2025 च्या तुलनेत 2026 मध्ये प्रत्येक category साठी cut-offs वाढले, ST साठी सर्वात जास्त (+4.11 percentile). हे percentiles 2026 चे अधिकृत NTA आकडे आहेत; 2027 चा qualifying percentile JEE Main 2027 च्या Session 2 चे results जाहीर झाल्यावरच कळेल.

The clear multi-year pattern: qualifying percentiles have trended upward almost every year since 2021 for every category, with the sharpest relative climb in SC and ST cut-offs. 2024 was a mild exception where the General cut-off dipped slightly versus 2023-25 trend before rising again in 2025-26. 2022-24 figures above are approximate (rounded) as different published records vary in the last two decimal places; 2025 and 2026 figures are the precisely verified official values.स्पष्ट बहु-वर्षीय पॅटर्न: 2021 पासून जवळपास प्रत्येक वर्षी प्रत्येक category साठी qualifying percentiles वाढत गेले आहेत, SC व ST cut-offs मध्ये सर्वाधिक सापेक्ष वाढ. 2024 हा किंचित अपवाद होता जिथे General cut-off 2023-25 कलाच्या तुलनेत थोडा कमी झाला, नंतर 2025-26 मध्ये पुन्हा वाढला. वरील 2022-24 चे आकडे अंदाजे (round केलेले) आहेत कारण वेगवेगळ्या प्रकाशित records मध्ये शेवटच्या दोन दशांश स्थानांत फरक आहे; 2025 व 2026 चे आकडे नेमके पडताळलेले अधिकृत मूल्ये आहेत.
Complete Shift-Wise Percentile Analysis — JEE Main 2026संपूर्ण Shift-निहाय Percentile विश्लेषण — JEE Main 2026 Spectrum Coaches Exam Analysis
Because JEE Main runs across many shifts of varying difficulty, NTA never publishes a single "marks needed for X percentile" figure — the same percentile corresponds to different raw marks in different shifts, purely due to normalisation. Below is Spectrum Coaches' complete shift-by-shift breakdown of the JEE Main 2026 result (10 shifts in January, 8 confirmed shifts in April; ~15.5 lakh unique candidates in total), compiled to help 2027 aspirants understand exactly how this works. This is our own analysis of the published NTA results — not an NTA-issued chart — so treat the numbers as a close, well-researched estimate rather than an official cut-off.JEE Main वेगवेगळ्या अवघडपणाच्या अनेक shifts मध्ये घेतली जात असल्याने, NTA कधीही एकच "X percentile साठी लागणारे गुण" असा आकडा प्रसिद्ध करत नाही — normalisation मुळे तोच percentile वेगवेगळ्या shifts मध्ये वेगवेगळ्या raw marks शी जुळतो. खाली Spectrum Coaches चे JEE Main 2026 result चे संपूर्ण shift-निहाय विश्लेषण दिले आहे (जानेवारीत 10 shifts, एप्रिलमध्ये 8 पुष्टी झालेले shifts; एकूण ~15.5 लाख unique उमेदवार), जे 2027 च्या इच्छुकांना हे नेमके कसे काम करते हे समजून घेण्यास मदत व्हावी म्हणून संकलित केले आहे. हे प्रसिद्ध झालेल्या NTA results चे आमचे स्वतःचे विश्लेषण आहे — NTA-प्रकाशित chart नाही — त्यामुळे हे आकडे अधिकृत cut-off नसून जवळचा, चांगला संशोधित अंदाज म्हणून घ्यावेत.

Spectrum's take: January was slightly tougher than April — roughly 3 fewer marks needed on average for the same percentile. April's shift spread (32 marks) was narrower than January's (34 marks), suggesting more uniform paper-setting in Session 2. Practical advice: if you wrote both sessions, never compare raw marks across sessions — always compare percentiles.Spectrum चे मत: जानेवारी एप्रिलपेक्षा किंचित अवघड होती — त्याच percentile साठी सरासरी सुमारे 3 गुण कमी लागले. एप्रिलचा shift spread (32 गुण) जानेवारीपेक्षा (34 गुण) अरुंद होता, जे Session 2 मध्ये अधिक एकसमान paper-setting दर्शवते. व्यावहारिक सल्ला: तुम्ही दोन्ही sessions दिले असल्यास, sessions मधील raw marks ची कधीही तुलना करू नका — नेहमी percentiles ची तुलना करा.

Pattern reading: 22 Jan Morning was the score-friendly day (easier paper → higher marks needed for the same percentile). 22 Jan Evening flipped completely — the same percentile was achievable at 30+ marks lower. 28 Jan Morning was Maths-heavy, requiring the highest marks (186–190) for 99 percentile. 23 Jan Evening had a difficult Mathematics section that compressed scores at the top end.पॅटर्न वाचन: 22 जानेवारी सकाळ हा score-friendly दिवस होता (सोपा paper → त्याच percentile साठी जास्त गुण आवश्यक). 22 जानेवारी संध्याकाळ पूर्णपणे उलट होते — तोच percentile 30+ गुण कमी असतानाही मिळत होता. 28 जानेवारी सकाळ Maths-जड होता, 99 percentile साठी सर्वाधिक गुण (186–190) आवश्यक होते. 23 जानेवारी संध्याकाळला अवघड Mathematics section होता ज्यामुळे वरच्या टोकावरील scores दबले गेले.

S1 = Morning shift, S2 = Evening shift. 99%ile average across January ≈ 172 marks (median 174, range 154–188).S1 = सकाळची shift, S2 = संध्याकाळची shift. जानेवारीत 99%ile सरासरी ≈ 172 गुण (median 174, range 154–188).
Reading the matrix: Cross-check your shift column with the percentile row. For example, 145 marks in 24 Jan Morning sits near 97 percentile; the same 145 marks in 22 Jan Evening would sit closer to ~97.5 percentile (tougher shift = better normalisation). Always read down your own shift's column — never compare marks across different shift columns.Matrix कसा वाचावा: तुमचा shift column percentile row सोबत cross-check करा. उदा., 24 जानेवारी सकाळमधील 145 गुण 97 percentile जवळ आहेत; तेच 145 गुण 22 जानेवारी संध्याकाळमध्ये ~97.5 percentile जवळ असतील (अवघड shift = चांगले normalisation). नेहमी तुमच्या स्वतःच्या shift च्या column मध्ये खाली वाचा — वेगवेगळ्या shift columns मधील गुणांची तुलना करू नका.

S1 = Morning shift, S2 = Evening shift. 99%ile average across April ≈ 175 marks (median 175, range 160–192).S1 = सकाळची shift, S2 = संध्याकाळची shift. एप्रिलमध्ये 99%ile सरासरी ≈ 175 गुण (median 175, range 160–192).
Key difference from January: April's distribution is tighter and slightly more "calibrated" — the 99%ile band sits in a narrower 158–192 range vs January's 152–190. This is partly because Session 2 candidates (10.3 lakh) were a more self-selected group, and partly because paper-setting balanced subject difficulty better across shifts. The 5 Apr Morning shift (190+ marks for 99%ile) is the exception, not the norm.जानेवारीपेक्षा मुख्य फरक: एप्रिलचे वितरण अधिक अरुंद व किंचित अधिक "calibrated" आहे — 99%ile band जानेवारीच्या 152–190 च्या तुलनेत अधिक अरुंद 158–192 range मध्ये आहे. हे अंशतः यामुळे आहे की Session 2 चे उमेदवार (10.3 लाख) अधिक self-selected गट होते, आणि अंशतः paper-setting ने shifts मध्ये विषयाचा अवघडपणा अधिक चांगल्या प्रकारे संतुलित केला. 5 एप्रिल सकाळची shift (99%ile साठी 190+ गुण) हा अपवाद आहे, सर्वसाधारण नाही.

Takeaway: Stop worrying about which shift you'll get. Aim to consistently score around the 95-percentile band on your mocks, and let normalisation do the rest — NTA's system is built to give every candidate a fair, shift-independent playing field.सारांश: तुम्हाला कोणती shift मिळेल याची काळजी करणे थांबवा. तुमच्या mocks मध्ये सातत्याने 95-percentile band जवळ score करण्याचे लक्ष्य ठेवा, आणि उरलेले normalisation करेल — NTA ची प्रणाली प्रत्येक उमेदवाराला न्याय्य, shift-स्वतंत्र संधी देण्यासाठी बनवलेली आहे.

What this means for 2027 aspirants: Competition keeps intensifying — about 75,000 more candidates appeared in 2026 than in 2025, and cutoffs rose in every category. To stay competitive, aim 5–10 marks higher than the previous year's threshold for your target percentile band, and calibrate every mock-test score against percentile, not just raw marks.2027 च्या इच्छुकांसाठी याचा अर्थ काय: स्पर्धा वाढतच आहे — 2025 पेक्षा 2026 मध्ये सुमारे 75,000 अधिक उमेदवार बसले, आणि प्रत्येक category मध्ये cutoffs वाढले. स्पर्धात्मक राहण्यासाठी, तुमच्या लक्ष्य percentile band साठी मागील वर्षीच्या मर्यादेपेक्षा 5–10 गुण जास्त लक्ष्य ठेवा, आणि प्रत्येक mock-test score फक्त raw marks नव्हे तर percentile नुसार calibrate करा.
Caution — read this before using any figure above: Everything in this shift-wise breakdown is Spectrum Coaches' own analytical estimate of the 2026 result, compiled from published NTA outcomes (result dates, topper counts, official category-wise cutoffs) combined with our shift-difficulty analysis. NTA does not publish an official shift-by-shift marks-to-percentile chart. Use this section to understand how normalisation behaves and to calibrate your own preparation targets — not as an exact, guaranteed cut-off for any future exam.सावधान — वरील कोणताही आकडा वापरण्यापूर्वी हे वाचा: या shift-निहाय विश्लेषणातील सर्व काही Spectrum Coaches चा स्वतःचा 2026 च्या result चा विश्लेषणात्मक अंदाज आहे, प्रसिद्ध झालेल्या NTA निकालांवरून (result तारखा, topper संख्या, अधिकृत category-निहाय cutoffs) व आमच्या shift-अवघडपणा विश्लेषणावरून संकलित केलेला. NTA अधिकृत shift-निहाय marks-ते-percentile chart प्रसिद्ध करत नाही. या section चा वापर normalisation कसे काम करते हे समजून घेण्यासाठी व तुमची स्वतःची तयारीची लक्ष्ये calibrate करण्यासाठी करा — कोणत्याही भावी परीक्षेसाठी नेमका, हमी दिलेला cut-off म्हणून नाही.
15Counselling & Admission ProcessCounselling व प्रवेश प्रक्रिया
Counselling authority: Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) for NITs/IITs/IIITs/GFTIs jointly with JEE Advanced, and Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) for additional/special rounds and some state/other institutes. NTA itself does not conduct counselling or control admission policy — it only conducts the exam and declares results/ranks.Counselling authority: NITs/IITs/IIITs/GFTIs साठी Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) JEE Advanced सोबत संयुक्तपणे, आणि additional/special फेऱ्या व काही state/इतर institutes साठी Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB). NTA स्वतः counselling घेत नाही किंवा प्रवेश धोरण नियंत्रित करत नाही — ते फक्त परीक्षा घेते व results/ranks जाहीर करते.
Broad process (based on the established JoSAA/CSAB pattern)व्यापक प्रक्रिया (प्रस्थापित JoSAA/CSAB पॅटर्नवर आधारित)
- Registration on the JoSAA portal using the JEE Main (and, where applicable, JEE Advanced) roll number/rank, with a separate counselling registration feeJEE Main (व लागू असल्यास JEE Advanced) roll number/rank वापरून JoSAA portal वर Registration, वेगळ्या counselling registration fee सह
- Choice filling — listing preferred institute + branch combinations in order of preferenceChoice filling — आवडीचे institute + branch combinations प्राधान्यक्रमानुसार यादी करणे
- Choice locking before the deadline for each roundप्रत्येक फेरीच्या deadline आधी Choice locking
- Seat allocation — conducted in multiple rounds, matching rank, category, and choices against the seat matrixSeat allocation — अनेक फेऱ्यांमध्ये, rank, category, व choices seat matrix शी जुळवून केले जाते
- Seat acceptance — the candidate must respond within a fixed window using one of the "Freeze / Float / Slide" options: Freeze (accept and exit further rounds), Float (accept but remain open for a better allotment in later rounds), or Slide (accept but seek a better branch within the same institute only)Seat acceptance — उमेदवाराने ठराविक कालावधीत "Freeze / Float / Slide" यापैकी एक पर्याय वापरून प्रतिसाद द्यावा लागतो: Freeze (स्वीकारा व पुढील फेऱ्यांतून बाहेर पडा), Float (स्वीकारा पण पुढील फेऱ्यांत चांगल्या allotment साठी खुले रहा), किंवा Slide (स्वीकारा पण फक्त त्याच institute मध्ये चांगल्या branch साठी प्रयत्न करा)
- Document verification and fee payment at a reporting centre or online, as notifiedजाहीर केल्याप्रमाणे reporting centre वर किंवा online कागदपत्र पडताळणी व fee payment
- Reporting at the allotted instituteवाटप झालेल्या institute मध्ये Reporting
- Additional/spot rounds for any seats remaining vacant after the regular rounds, sometimes run separately by CSAB or the institutes themselvesनियमित फेऱ्यांनंतर रिकाम्या राहिलेल्या जागांसाठी Additional/spot फेऱ्या, कधी कधी CSAB किंवा institutes स्वतः स्वतंत्रपणे घेतात
Exam qualification vs admission eligibilityपरीक्षा पात्रता वि. प्रवेश पात्रता
Clearing JEE Main (getting a rank) is not the same as being admitted. Admission additionally requires meeting the admitting institute's Class 12 marks/subject criteria (see Section 4), successful participation in JoSAA/CSAB or the institute's own counselling, seat availability in the chosen branch/category/round, and successful document verification and fee payment.JEE Main clear करणे (rank मिळणे) हे प्रवेश मिळण्यासारखे नाही. प्रवेशासाठी अतिरिक्तपणे admitting institute चे Class 12 गुण/विषय निकष (Section 4 पाहा) पूर्ण करणे, JoSAA/CSAB किंवा institute च्या स्वतःच्या counselling मध्ये यशस्वी सहभाग, निवडलेल्या branch/category/फेरीत जागेची उपलब्धता, आणि यशस्वी कागदपत्र पडताळणी व fee payment आवश्यक आहे.
State-level admissions: Many state government engineering colleges and private universities either run their own counselling using JEE Main scores or admit through a separate state-level process — rules differ by state and institute, and are outside NTA's/JoSAA's ambit.State-level प्रवेश: अनेक state government engineering colleges व private universities एकतर JEE Main scores वापरून स्वतःची counselling घेतात किंवा वेगळ्या state-level प्रक्रियेद्वारे प्रवेश देतात — नियम state व institute नुसार वेगळे असतात, आणि NTA/JoSAA च्या कक्षेबाहेर असतात.

JEE Main rank feeds four different counselling pools. The table below gives the actual institute counts and reported seat totals for the 2026 cycle, so "many colleges accept JEE Main" becomes a concrete, checkable number rather than a vague claim.JEE Main rank चार वेगवेगळ्या counselling pools साठी वापरला जातो. खालील table मध्ये 2026 cycle साठीची प्रत्यक्ष institute संख्या व नोंदवलेल्या एकूण जागा दिल्या आहेत, ज्यामुळे "अनेक colleges JEE Main स्वीकारतात" हे अस्पष्ट विधान न राहता ठोस, तपासण्याजोगा आकडा बनतो.

What GFTIs and IIITs typically includeGFTIs व IIITs मध्ये साधारणपणे काय समाविष्ट असते
- GFTIs — a mixed group of institutes fully or partly funded by state/central government that have opted into JoSAA/CSAB, such as select state engineering colleges, IIEST Shibpur, and a few specialised technical institutes. The exact 56-institute list is published each year on josaa.nic.in/csab.nic.in and does shift as institutes opt in or out.GFTIs — state/central government कडून पूर्ण किंवा अंशतः निधी मिळणाऱ्या व JoSAA/CSAB मध्ये सामील झालेल्या institutes चा संमिश्र गट, जसे की निवडक state engineering colleges, IIEST Shibpur, व काही specialised technical institutes. नेमकी 56-institute यादी दरवर्षी josaa.nic.in/csab.nic.in वर प्रसिद्ध केली जाते व institutes सामील/बाहेर पडल्याने बदलते.
- IIITs — a mix of fully government-funded IIITs (e.g. IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Gwalior, IIIT Jabalpur, IIIT Kancheepuram) and newer Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) IIITs set up jointly by the central government, a state government and an industry partner (e.g. IIIT Una, IIIT Kota, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Pune, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Vadodara, IIIT Sri City, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Guwahati, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Surat).IIITs — पूर्णपणे government-funded IIITs (उदा. IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Gwalior, IIIT Jabalpur, IIIT Kancheepuram) आणि central government, state government व industry partner यांनी संयुक्तपणे स्थापन केलेले नवीन Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) IIITs (उदा. IIIT Una, IIIT Kota, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Pune, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Vadodara, IIIT Sri City, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Guwahati, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Surat) यांचे मिश्रण.
Beyond JoSAA/CSABJoSAA/CSAB पलीकडे
- Many State Government engineering colleges — admission routes vary by state; some accept JEE Main rank directly (via a state-run CAP), others run a parallel state-level exam (e.g. MHT-CET in Maharashtra) alongside JEE Main.अनेक State Government engineering colleges — प्रवेश मार्ग state नुसार वेगळे असतात; काही थेट JEE Main rank स्वीकारतात (state-run CAP द्वारे), इतर JEE Main सोबत समांतर state-level परीक्षा (उदा. महाराष्ट्रातील MHT-CET) घेतात.
- Numerous private and deemed universities across India accept JEE Main scores for B.Tech admission, often alongside their own institute-level criteria — check the specific university's admission page, since this is never centrally listed by NTA or JoSAA.भारतभरातील अनेक private व deemed universities B.Tech प्रवेशासाठी JEE Main scores स्वीकारतात, अनेकदा त्यांच्या स्वतःच्या institute-level निकषांसह — विशिष्ट university च्या admission page वर तपासा, कारण हे NTA किंवा JoSAA कडून केंद्रीयरित्या कधीही सूचीबद्ध केले जात नाही.
- JEE Advanced / IITs: JEE Main Paper 1 is the mandatory qualifying step — only candidates meeting the category-wise cut-off and other conditions (Section 3) may register for JEE Advanced, the actual exam used for IIT/IISc admission (see the separate JEE Advanced 2027 guide on this site for IIT-specific seat data).JEE Advanced / IITs: JEE Main Paper 1 हा अनिवार्य qualifying टप्पा आहे — फक्त category-निहाय cut-off व इतर अटी (Section 3) पूर्ण करणारे उमेदवार JEE Advanced साठी register करू शकतात, जी IIT/IISc प्रवेशासाठी वापरली जाणारी प्रत्यक्ष परीक्षा आहे (IIT-विशिष्ट seat data साठी या site वरील स्वतंत्र JEE Advanced 2027 guide पाहा).

Application fee vs tuition fee: The above is only the JEE Main application/exam fee, charged separately for each session. It has nothing to do with actual college tuition/hostel fees, which are set independently by each admitting institute and paid only after a seat is allotted through counselling.Application fee वि. tuition fee: वरील फक्त JEE Main application/exam fee आहे, प्रत्येक session साठी वेगळी आकारली जाते. याचा प्रत्यक्ष college tuition/hostel fees शी काहीही संबंध नाही, जी प्रत्येक admitting institute स्वतंत्रपणे ठरवते व counselling द्वारे जागा मिळाल्यावरच भरावी लागते.
Additional fees later in the process: JoSAA/CSAB counselling registration fee, seat acceptance fee, and document verification/reporting charges are separate and are announced by JoSAA/CSAB at the counselling stage, not by NTA.प्रक्रियेत नंतर अतिरिक्त fees: JoSAA/CSAB counselling registration fee, seat acceptance fee, आणि कागदपत्र पडताळणी/reporting charges वेगळे आहेत व counselling टप्प्यावर JoSAA/CSAB कडून जाहीर केले जातात, NTA कडून नाही.
Refunds: The base exam fee is generally non-refundable once the application is submitted; duplicate/failed payments should be resolved through the bank/payment gateway helpline listed in the bulletin, not by NTA directly.Refunds: application सादर केल्यावर मूळ exam fee सामान्यतः non-refundable असते; duplicate/failed payments bulletin मध्ये दिलेल्या bank/payment gateway helpline द्वारे सोडवावेत, थेट NTA कडून नाही.

Eligible as long as their Class 12 passing year falls within the years permitted in that year's bulletin (typically the current and two preceding years). No cap on how many years in a row a candidate can attempt within that window.जोपर्यंत त्यांचे Class 12 उत्तीर्ण झाल्याचे वर्ष त्या वर्षीच्या bulletin मध्ये परवानगी दिलेल्या वर्षांत (साधारण चालू व मागील दोन वर्षे) येते तोपर्यंत पात्र. त्या कालावधीत उमेदवार सलग किती वर्षे attempt करू शकतो यावर मर्यादा नाही.
An improvement attempt does not change the candidate's original "passing year" for JEE Main eligibility purposes — eligibility is fixed to the year of the first pass.improvement attempt मुळे JEE Main पात्रतेच्या दृष्टीने उमेदवाराचे मूळ "passing year" बदलत नाही — पात्रता प्रथम उत्तीर्ण झालेल्या वर्षीच निश्चित असते.
A recognised 3-year (or longer) AICTE/State Board diploma is an accepted qualifying examination for JEE Main. Note: diploma holders more commonly use Lateral Entry routes for direct second-year admission at many institutes — that is a separate process from JEE Main.मान्यताप्राप्त 3-वर्षीय (किंवा त्याहून अधिक) AICTE/State Board diploma हे JEE Main साठी स्वीकृत qualifying परीक्षा आहे. टीप: diploma धारक सामान्यतः अनेक institutes मध्ये थेट दुसऱ्या वर्षी प्रवेशासाठी Lateral Entry मार्ग वापरतात — ती JEE Main पेक्षा वेगळी प्रक्रिया आहे.

Indian nationals who passed Class 12 from Nepal/Bhutan get their state of eligibility based on their Indian passport address.Association of Indian Universities (AIU) कडून Class 12 च्या समकक्ष मान्यता मिळालेली परदेशी Board/University परीक्षा असल्यास स्वीकृत; उमेदवाराला AIU equivalence certificate ची गरज भासू शकते. Nepal/Bhutan मधून Class 12 उत्तीर्ण झालेल्या भारतीय नागरिकांचे state of eligibility त्यांच्या भारतीय passport पत्त्यावर आधारित असते.
OCI candidates who passed Class 12 in India are treated at par with Indian nationals for JEE Main purposes. OCIs who passed Class 12 from an institution abroad are eligible for All India quota seats but NOT Home State quota seats at NITs/IIITs/GFTIs.भारतात Class 12 उत्तीर्ण झालेले OCI उमेदवार JEE Main च्या दृष्टीने भारतीय नागरिकांसमान मानले जातात. परदेशातील institution मधून Class 12 उत्तीर्ण झालेले OCI NITs/IIITs/GFTIs मधील All India quota जागांसाठी पात्र आहेत पण Home State quota जागांसाठी नाहीत.

21Common Mistakes Students Makeविद्यार्थी करतात त्या सामान्य चुका
- Application rejection risk: Mismatched name/DOB between the form and Class 10 certificate; blurry or wrongly sized photo/signature uploadsApplication नाकारले जाण्याचा धोका: form व Class 10 certificate मधील नाव/जन्मतारीख जुळत नसणे; अस्पष्ट किंवा चुकीच्या size चे photo/signature uploads
- Wrong category claimed: Claiming OBC-NCL based on a state list only, or using an EWS certificate from the wrong financial yearचुकीची category दावा केलेली: फक्त state list वर आधारित OBC-NCL चा दावा करणे, किंवा चुकीच्या आर्थिक वर्षाचे EWS certificate वापरणे
- Invalid document: Uploading an expired or improperly formatted category/disability certificateअवैध कागदपत्र: कालबाह्य किंवा चुकीच्या format चे category/disability certificate upload करणे
- Incorrect subject/paper selection: Choosing the wrong Paper (1/2A/2B) or missing that Class 12 subject requirements differ by paper (Section 4)चुकीची विषय/paper निवड: चुकीचा Paper (1/2A/2B) निवडणे किंवा Class 12 विषय आवश्यकता paper नुसार वेगळ्या असतात हे लक्षात न घेणे (Section 4)
- Wrong exam city preference order: Not ranking city choices realistically, leading to an inconvenient allotted centreचुकीचा exam city प्राधान्यक्रम: city choices वास्तववादीपणे न ठरवणे, ज्यामुळे गैरसोयीचे centre वाटप होते
- Missed deadlines: Waiting till the last hour of the application/correction window and facing server load or payment failuresDeadline चुकवणे: application/correction window च्या शेवटच्या तासापर्यंत थांबणे व server load किंवा payment failures चा सामना करणे
- Failed payment not resolved: Not following up with the bank/payment gateway when a Confirmation Page isn't generated after paymentFailed payment न सोडवणे: payment नंतर Confirmation Page तयार न झाल्यास bank/payment gateway शी follow up न करणे
- Counselling disqualification: Not carrying original certificates for verification, or a category certificate that doesn't match the declared categoryCounselling मधून अपात्रता: पडताळणीसाठी original certificates न आणणे, किंवा जाहीर केलेल्या category शी न जुळणारे category certificate
- Admission problems: Assuming a good JEE Main rank alone secures a seat without checking the institute's own Class 12 marks/subject eligibilityप्रवेशातील समस्या: institute च्या स्वतःच्या Class 12 गुण/विषय पात्रता न तपासता फक्त चांगल्या JEE Main rank ने जागा निश्चित होईल असे गृहीत धरणे
