Candidates’ eligibility for JEE Advanced 2022 will be judged only on the basis of their performance in JEE Main 2022 examination and not on the basis of their class 12 performance

Appearance in Class 12th Board Exams

A candidate should have appeared for the Class 12th (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2021 or 2022 with the subjects Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
