I need to create a cron schedule that repeats every 2 weeks on Mondays. Cronmaker.com doesn't have the cron expression for this. Please advice.

I'm not sure you can do it that way. If not, you can always do it without CRON.

without CRON, I can do this.

var trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
.StartAt(new DateTime(2012, 11, 19, 12, 0, 0).ToUniversalTime())
.WithCalendarIntervalSchedule(x => x.WithIntervalInWeeks(2))
.Build();

by where do I specify its on MOnday?

If your StartAt date is a Monday then every 2 weeks would always be Monday, right?

No its like, I start it on Tuesday and I want it thereafter to fire on every 2 weeks on mondays

You may have to do 2 triggers then. There is a DailyTimeIntervalScheduleBuilder but I don't think it lets you have a weekly interval.

1 trigger can be to run now and then one to start the following Monday and then repeat every 2 weeks.

Nearest Thursday and Friday at 1,40am... Then, two weeks (336h) after , again:
0 40 1/336 ? * THU,FRI

But "Quartz Cron" does not support/like it as increment is bigger than 24h.

While I applaud your urge to help people, it's a good idea to stick to new questions, rather than 8 year old ones. After that amount of time, it's unlikely that the original poster is at all interested in the problem any more! And I don't see any relevance in your reply anyway ...

Answering old questions can be seen as rep-point hunting, which is a form of site abuse. The more trigger happy amongst us will start the process of banning you from the site if you aren't careful. Stick to new questions and you'll be fine.

As discussed in comments, I don't believe CRON can represent what you want. If you want it to start today and then do every 2 weeks on a Monday I would suggest one option would be to 2 triggers then. There is a DailyTimeIntervalScheduleBuilder but I don't think it lets you have a weekly interval.

1 trigger can be to run now and then one to start the following Monday and then repeat every 2 weeks.
