JEE Advanced is the second phase of the entrance exam conducted after the JEE Main. For 2022, JEE Advanced will be held on 28th August 2022. With just a month left for the exam, students have entered the final revision mode to cover every book nook to write a perfect answer copy.

This year, the IIT Bombay has allowed the aspirants who couldn’t appear for the JEE Advanced previously due to Covid-19 to reappear directly. However, there are fixed attempts to clear the exam. Hence, one should be aware of how many attempts for JEE Advanced are allowed so you can prepare accordingly.
