Q: How many times can one appear for JEE Mains?

Candidates can appear for a total 6 times in JEE Mains. Number of attempts is calculated from year of passing class 12. For example if a candidate have passed class 12 in 2024 they appear in both attempts of 2024 as well of both attempts of JEE Main 2024 and 2025.

If a candidate opts not to appear in exam in a year/session that attempt will forfeit. For example if a candidate who passed class 12 in 2024 but did not appear in JEE Mains in 2024 they will have four attempts remaining in 2024 and 2025.

As candidates have a plenty of attempts (six) it is advised to prepare well for exam and then appear in exam. Appearing in exam without proper preparation could effect performance.  

Q: Is it enough to learn from NCERT textbook to clear JEE Main 2024?

A: NCERT books are one of the best companion in the path of clearing JEE Main exam. Many students who secured top ranks in previous years in JEE Mains as well as JEE Advanced had pointed that they studied through NCERT books. The best part of studying NCERT is that they are easy to understand, have lots of examples to understand the topics and also have numerical questions to evaluate the performance. Students who rely only on NCERT books for clearing JEE Mains have fair chance to getting a good score, however, students targeting 99-100 percentile are advised to refer additional books beside NCERTs.
