Hello Sir, I have to repeat 11th again because I was not well during my exams. I want to apply for JEE Advanced and secure admission in IIT. So, as I am repeating 11th, so it will affect to apply in JEE Advanced?

No, reappearing in class 11 will not affect in JEE Advanced exam. But, you should keep in mind that you have to crack JEE Main exam first to get chance to appear in JEE Advanced exam. Eligibility criteria of JEE Main exam is given below.

JEE Main Exam Eligibility:

>> Candidates who have completed lass 10+2 exam with PCM or PCMB are eligible to appear in JEE Main exam.

>> Candidates whose date of birth falls on or after October 01, 1993 are eligible for JEE Main exam ( as per JEE Main 2018 Notice). If your age is lesser than 25 years, then you are eligible.

>> Candidates should be Indian Citizens.

It should not affect. It is in fact a good idea to have an extra year with you for a better preparation since your target is JEE advanced. Try to use this extra year you're getting wisely. Build your basics well and try to solve as many questions as you can. For the entrance, they'll really not be bothered how long you've taken to pass 10+2 , only a decent rank will be the requirement. So focus on that.

First thing I would like to let you know that JEE stands for Joint Entrance Examination and it is held by CBSE once every year for offering admission in undergraduate technical degree courses across CFTIs ( Centrally Funded Technical Institutes ) such as IITs, NITs, ISM, IIIT, etc. .

Further, JEE is conducted in two stages which includes JEE Main followed by JEE Advanced.

For appearing in JEE Main for getting admission in CFTIs, you need to have completed your Class 12th with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as main subjects with at least 75% marks ( or 65% marks in case of reserved category candidates ) from a recognized board. Students failing to secure the above specified marks but still managing to come within the top 20 percentile candidates of their respective board of examination are also eligible.

As far as you are concerned about the affect of reappearing in Class 11th on your eligibility for JEE Advanced then I would like to let you know that reappearing in Class 11th has no affect on your eligibility for JEE Advanced but once you get registered for your Class 12th board examination then you can appear in JEE Advanced only twice, first time in the year in which you have registered for your Class 12th and second attempt in the successive year.

The full form of JEE is Joint Entrance Examination.

JEE is conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education. It has two stages JEE Main and JEE Advanced. There are three consecutive attempts for JEE Main and two consecutive attempts for JEE Advanced from year in which you appeared for 12th examination.

If you appear for 11th standard again, it will not affect JEE Advanced chaces. Suppose if you appear for 2019 exam then you can apply for JEE Main in 2019, 2020 and 2021 and for JEE Advanced in 2019 and 2020.

No, it will not affect JEE Advanced if you repeat 11th standard again.

As you have not appeared for JEE Advanced exam till now, so your attempts will be safe. And you can appear for JEE Advanced exam for 2 consecutive times only after passing 11th standard.

Note that you have to qualify JEE Main exam before appearing for JEE Advanced exam.

For appearing in JEE Main exam, you will have 3 chances.

You can repeat 11th standard without creating any problem for engineering entrance examination and degree.
