JEE Exam

JEE (Joint Entrance Examination)

The JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) is an entrance exam for admission into various engineering colleges across the country. In 2024, it will be conducted in four sessions by NTA (National Testing Agency). One of the most challenging entrance exams in the country, the JEE 2024 is your gateway to the prestigious IITs, NITs, and Central Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs). JEE is conducted in two parts:

  1. JEE MAIN

  2. JEE ADVANCED

Institutes like the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, and the Indian Institute of Science consider the marks obtained in JEE Advanced as one of the criteria for admission. However, these institutes are not a part of central IIT-JEE Advanced counseling.

JEE Exam Eligibility

  • Those who have cleared their Class XII exam, or any equivalent qualifying examination in Current Year or Previous Year; OR those who are appearing in their Class XII exam, or any equivalent qualifying examination in the current year, are eligible to appear in JEE (Main).

  • Candidates can appear for JEE Advanced for a maximum of two consecutive years.

  • Those with a Diploma can now also apply for JEE, but only for admission to IITs. These candidates also need to appear for JEE Advanced.
