Yes, a betterment (or improvement) marksheet is valid for JEE Main and JEE Advanced as long as it meets certain conditions.
Here’s what you need to know about using a betterment/improvement marksheet for JEE:
1. Eligibility with Improvement/Betterment Marks:
- JEE Main: Improvement marksheets are accepted for eligibility in JEE Main. You must have passed your Class 12 (or equivalent) exam with the required subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and the minimum marks (depending on the category).
- JEE Advanced: To be eligible for JEE Advanced, you must qualify through JEE Main and meet the eligibility criteria based on your Class 12 marks.
2. Criteria for Using Betterment Marks:
- Subjects: If you're appearing for a betterment or improvement exam, you must reappear in all subjects of the board exam. JEE authorities accept marks from a betterment exam only if you have taken all subjects, not just a few.
- Percentage Requirement:
- For general category students, you need at least 75% aggregate marks in your Class 12 board exam (or be in the top 20 percentile of your board).
- For SC/ST/PwD students, the minimum required percentage is 65%.
3. Validity of Betterment Marksheet:
- The betterment/improvement marksheet issued by your board is valid for JEE as long as it is from a recognized board and you fulfill all eligibility criteria.
- The year in which you appear for the improvement/betterment exam must fall within the eligibility window (i.e., the year of your Class 12 exam or the next year).
4. Multiple Attempts and JEE:
- You can appear for JEE Main in the year of your Class 12 exam and for the next two consecutive years.
- For JEE Advanced, you can attempt it in the year you pass Class 12 and the following year, provided you meet the criteria.
Key Points:
- You can use a betterment/improvement marksheet to meet the minimum percentage or top 20 percentile criteria.
- The improvement must be in all subjects to be valid for JEE Advanced.
So, if you improve your marks through a betterment exam and get a new marksheet that fulfills the required percentage, it is valid for both JEE Main and JEE Advanced.
