JEE Main Examination
Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is an entrance test for engineering students conducted in India for getting admission to several engineering colleges. It is composed of two distinct exams named as JEE Main and JEE Advanced. The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) performs a combined admission procedure based on the rank earned by a student at JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. The list of colleges available for the admissions are
- Indian Institute of Technology – 23 campuses
- National Technology Institute campuses – 32 campuses
- Indian Institute of Information Technology – 18 campuses
- Government Funded Technical Institutes – 19 campuses (GFTIs)
Some institutes such as IISERs (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research), RGIPT (Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology), and IISc (Indian Institute of Science) use the score achieved in JEE Advanced as the criteria for admission. Such institutes will not participate in the post-exam counselling process. A candidate who is admitted to IITs can not write the JEE- Advanced test next year, which is not identical in the case of RGIPT, IISER and IISc and some other educational institutes as they consider only JEE Advanced marks for admission.
