State Code of Eligibility:

State Code of Eligibility:

State code of eligibility means the state from where the candidate has passed Class 12th Examination.
It is important to note that the State code of eligibility does NOT depend upon the native place or the place of residence of the candidate. It depends only from where the candidate have passed Class 12th Examination. If a candidate has passed Class XII (or equivalent) qualifying examination from one State but appeared for improvement from another State, the candidate’s State code of eligibility will be from where the candidate first passed the Class XII (or equivalent) examination and NOT the State from where the candidate has appeared for improvement.

Number of Attempts a Candidate have

Number of Attempts a Candidate have

A candidate have only three attempts for appearing in JEE Main. We are well aware of the fact that JEE Mains is conducted twice in a year i.e., January session & April session. Now, many candidates get confused whether each session is counted as an attempt. The answer to this question is no.
If a candidate has already appeared for JEE Mains 2020 January Session and plans to appear in the April session of JEE Mains 2020 then both of them shall be counted as single attempt. In other words, January and April sessions of JEE Mains of a particular year are counted as a single attempt.
