Sir, what is the eligibility criteria for Jee Main 2017. I am asking this because I heard that rule have changed, but the rule is not not showing on official website?

Ministry of Human Resource Development(MHRD) and Department of Higher Education made a committee to review the current JEE system. After their analysis of current JEE system, the suggested changes in eligibility criteria are :

** Intermediate marks are not considered in evaluating the JEE rank.
** Intermediate marks are considered only for eligibility to appear in JEE.
** All other eligibility criteria to write JEE will remains unaffected.

The above mentioned changes are not frozen till now. These are the expected changes for JEE 2017.

No, till today there is no update or notification for JEE examination in 2017.

So, it is not possible for me to give you information about the changed patter of examination.

Most probably the examination notification will be released in month of November. So keep visiting the official website for any notification about examination.
