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. For SC/ST candidates
the qualifying marks would be 65 per cent in the 12th class examination.
