The candidate must have passed, appeared or be due to appear in the year of the entrance exam at the Higher Secondary (Class 12) examination of the Tripura Board of Secondary Education, CBSE, ICSE or an equivalent board, with the subjects in which he or she wants to appear in TJEE.
To get a seat, the candidate must have passed Class 12 with a separate pass in theory and practical for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology as applicable.
