JEE - Joint Entrance Examination for Engineering Admissions

Admissions to all central government-funded engineering institutions — IITs, NITs, IIITs etc. will happen through the JEE exams.

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), which will replace the old IIT-JEE and AIEEE. It will give more importance to Std XII exam results and comprise of two objective type tests — JEE-Main and JEE-Advanced - which will be conducted the same day.

JEE Mains Eligibility

The minimum academic qualification for appearing in JEE(MAIN) is that a candidate must have passed in the final examination of 10+2 (Class XII) or its equivalent referred to as the qualifying examination.

Those appearing in 10+2 (Class XII) final or equivalent examination may also appear in JEE(MAIN) provisionally.

JEE Main Pattern

Paper 1 for B.E/B.TECH

Subjects:- Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics

Type:- Objective type questions with equal weightage to Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics

Duration:- 3 Hours


Paper 2 for B.ARCH/B. PLANNING

JEE Advanced Eligibility

To be eligible to give JEE (Advanced), the candidates have to first appear in the JEE (Main) to be conducted by CBSE.

The minimum academic qualification for appearing in JEE (MAIN) is that a candidate must have passed in the final examination of 10+2 (Class XII) or its equivalent referred to as the qualifying examination. Those appearing in 10+2 (Class XII) final or equivalent examination  may also appear in JEE (MAIN) provisionally.

Based on performance in JEE MAIN will qualify to appear in the JEE ADVANCED examination. Admissions to IITs will be based only on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE ADVANCED.

JEE Advanced Pattern

The JEE (Advanced) will have two objective type papers.
Each paper will consist of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Duration of each paper will be 3-hours.

Question papers will be in both English and Hindi.
