To appear for JEE Main, a candidate must have passed the Class 12 (or equivalent) examination in the current year or the two years immediately preceding it. For example, for the 2026 exam, students who passed in 2024, 2025, or are appearing in 2026 are eligible. Candidates must have studied Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational Subject in their qualifying exam. There is no lower or upper age limit for appearing in the exam, though candidates must satisfy the age criteria of the specific institute they desire to join.
