0my age is 19 and i m giving 12th in state board exam next year....am i elligible for jee advance 2015

For JEE 2014 the eligibility criteria for admission, in context of age was: Born on or after 1stOctober 1989. So for JEE 2015 you can have the idea about the exact date, i.e.,Born on or after 1stOctober 1990.So if you are born after this date or on thisdate then you don’t have any trouble regarding the age criteria.
