What are JEE Main and JEE Advanced

JEE or Joint Entrance Examination is a national level engineering entrance exam for getting admissions into engineering colleges across India. Till 2011, All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) used to be conducted by CBSE every year. In the year 2012, CBSE announced the replacement of IIT JEE and AIEEE with Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). The AIEEE was replaced by JEE Main to facilitate admissions in 31 NITs, 20 IIITs and 18 other CFTIs (Centrally Funded Technical Institutes) while IIT JEE was replaced by JEE Advanced to facilitate admissions in the 23 IITs (Indian Institute of Technology) and ISM Dhanbad. From 2019 instead of CBSE, JEE Main will be conducted twice a year in the month of January and April respectively by National Testing Agency (NTA). If a candidate achieves a certain cut-off score which is decided every year, in JEE Main then he or she qualifies for JEE Advanced. Qualification in JEE Main is not the only criteria for selection as the candidate should have secured at least 75 per cent marks in the 12th class examination, or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th class examination conducted by the respective Boards.
