No age limit for IIT JEE, Supreme court orders to remove the limit
The Supreme Court has ordered to remove the age limit for the IIT JEE examinatio or the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE Advanced 2019. Those candidates who were earlier not permitted to appear for the examination may now do so.
Although, there is not much clarity about the order and when would it be implemented, the effect would also lead to removing the age limit on JEE Main examination. Since one attempt of JEE Main 2019 examination has already been conducted by NTA for the year, how would age limit be removed is still to be seen.
The JEE Main 2019 result was declared by National Testing Agency in January. JEE Advanced 2019 examination is scheduled for May 19, 2019 and would be conducted by IIT Roorkee this year.
JEE Advanced is the engineering entrance test for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology, IITs in the country. Candidates have to qualify the JEE Main examination in order to be eligible for JEE Advanced 2019.
