What is JEE?
The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a national-level entrance exam in India for admission into top engineering colleges like IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other prestigious institutions. The exam is conducted in two phases:
- JEE Main – Required for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other engineering colleges. Also serves as a qualifying exam for JEE Advanced.
- JEE Advanced – Only students who clear JEE Main with the required cutoff can appear for JEE Advanced, which is mandatory for admission into IITs.
Eligibility Criteria
JEE Main Eligibility
- Must have passed Class 12th (or equivalent) in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM).
- Candidates can attempt JEE Main a maximum of 3 times in consecutive years.
- No minimum percentage is required for JEE Main (but for NITs & IIITs, a minimum of 75% in Class 12th or top 20 percentile in the board is required).
JEE Advanced Eligibility
- Must be in the top 2,50,000 rankers of JEE Main.
- Should have scored at least 75% in Class 12 (for general category) or 65% (for SC/ST/PwD category).
- Can attempt JEE Advanced only twice in consecutive years.
