Hi,
definatly can you apply for IIT JEE with 21 year of age.
Only those candidates whose date of birth falls on or after October 01, 1980 are eligible for JEE-2005. However, in the case of SC, ST and PD candidates, upper age limit is relaxed by 5 years, i.e., SC, ST and PD candidates who were born on or after October 01, 1975 are eligible. Only the date of birth as recorded in your High School/first Board/Pre-University Certificate will be taken as authentic. Candidates must produce this certificate in original as a proof of their age at the time of counselling, failing which they will be disqualified

Every year IIT JEE has some Criteria through which Candidates has to fall under them.

If they don't fall under some Category then they are Not Eligible.

As your Age is 21 and doing Diploma then yes you can apply for IIT JEE. because as from this year's JEE Broucher.

Candidates who's Date of Birth Fall after or On 1st October 1986 were Eligible.

As you are going to Give your Exam at the age of 21 and which is on Next year.

Then yeah !! You are Eligible for IIT JEE 2012. because Next year their criteria would be Date of Birth falling on or After 1 october 1987.

So I think your Date of Birth do fall after the above date.

Good luck..

Dear friend,

As you have mentioned that you have currently age of 21 years

and you are doing diploma in EC engineering and you are going to

appear in IIT-JEE examination next year when you will be in final

semester of the course.

So, next year while filling the form you will be of 22 years and

according to the IIT-JEE eligibility criteria you should have minimum

60% marks in +2 or equivalent examination and the age limit is

fixed at 25 years.

So, try to maintain the % to 60% as if you fail in that you will

no more be eligible for the examination. The age will not be the

problem for you to appear in the examination.

Best wishes....

Hello,
As per iit norm and rules i think you are cross the age criteria as 21year. But a candidate have date of birth above 1986. if you have date of birth above this then you are eligible. But as you have mentioned you are interested to apply after completion of diploma engineering then your age will be crossed and you will not eligible.

Of course you are eligible for IIT-JEE at the age of 21.I don't think age will be an obstacle for you as in this year it is clearly mentioned in the JEE prospectus that,"Candidates who's Date of Birth Fall after or On 1st October 1986 were Eligible".
So Definitely you can go for it.
