JEE Advanced

The JEE (Joint Entrance Examinations) – Advanced, is the second part of the JEE examinations. It is a very vital examination, especially for students aspiring to join the undergraduate Engineering programs provided by the IITs or ISM, Dhanbad as well as some other institutions.

It is not necessary for you to take the JEE (Advanced) exam just because you have taken the JEE (Main) examination. However, if you want to get into any of the IITs or ISM, Dhanbad, then you will have to appear for both the JEE (Main), and JEE (Advanced).

The IITs and ISM, Dhanbad along with some other colleges admit students on the basis of their JEE (Advanced) results. These institutes take into account your JEE (Advanced) scores for admission into almost all their programs, including the ones not related to engineering.

Out of the total seats in the IITs and ISM – Dhanbad, 15% seats in every program are reserved for SC (Scheduled Casts) candidates and 7.5% seats are reserved for ST (Scheduled Tribes) candidates. 27% seats in every program are reserved for candidates from ‘Other Backward Classes’ (Non – Creamy Layer). Additionally, 3% of the seats in every category are reserved for Physically Handicapped candidates.

The JEE (Advanced) is an admission test for all the students who want to pursue undergraduate courses in any of the IITs or ISM, Dhanbad. It is one of the toughest entrance examinations in the country. It should be kept in mind that the JEE (Main) examination serves as an eligibility criteria for the JEE (Advanced) exam. Only the candidates who took the Paper 1 (Engineering) in the JEE (Main) examination are eligible for the JEE (Advanced) provided that your JEE (Main) rank was in the top 2,20,000 (including all categories).
