Hi

No, there's no age limit for JEE Mains examination but yes for JEE Mains one is eligible for only three consecutive years beginning from the year in which he or she appeared for board examination.

For example ,

If you have appeared in class 12th board examination in 2020 then you are eligible for JEE mains 2020, JEE mains 2021 and JEE mains 2022 and not beyond that.

Thankyou

There is no upper age limit per se. But lets's say you want to appear for JEE Mains 2022, then you should not have completed your 12th either in 2022 or 2021 or 2020. You should not go beyond it. If you are 17 years right n ow, either you must be appearing for your 12th right now or you must have already appeared for your 12th. So to be on a safer side, target 2021 for your JEE Mains exam. Because the MHRD did mention that JEE Mains 2021 will be conducted with a reduced syllabus and that might work in your favour.
