JEE-Advanced, formerly the Indian Institutes of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), is an academic examination held annually in India. It is conducted by one of the seven zonal IITs (IIT Roorkee, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, and IIT Guwahati) under the guidance of the Joint Admission Board (JAB).
It is the sole prerequisite for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology. Other universities—such as the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE), the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISERs), and the Indian Institute of Science—use the score obtained on the JEE-Advanced exam as the basis for admission.
The JEE score is also used as a possible basis for admission by Indian applicants to non-Indian universities such as the University of Cambridge and National University of Singapore. The examination is organized each year by one of the IITs, on a round-robin rotation pattern. It has a very low qualification rate (about 9,369 in 479,651 in 2012; ~1.95%).The qualification rate of the JEE-Advanced in 2017 was approximately 0.92% (about 11,000 out of 1,200,000 who applied for Jee Main).
In 2013 the examination initially called the IIT-JEE was renamed to JEE (Advanced), and the AIEEE was renamed JEE (Main).
From 2017, IIT began conducting the JEE internationally to allow the admission of foreign students.
JEE is one of the milestones that engineering students need to clear to seek admission into their desired course. JEE Main and JEE Advanced are national-level entrance exams that offer admission in Top engineering colleges in India. JEE Main is the main examination that is held by government-supported technical institutions such as NITs and IIITs while JEE-Advanced examination is mainly conducted by IITs and the students must clear JEE Main to appear for JEE Advanced.
JEE Main and JEE Advance are similar to each other and are inter-related, however, they differ in various aspects. JEE Main 2021 will be conducted in four sessions starting from February, (thereafter in March, April and May-2021). JEE Main 2021 February session will be conducted from February 23 – 26, 2021.
