IIT JEE-A Complete Guide for IIT-JEE Aspirants

Many aspirants who want to join the most reputed engineering institutes of the country are generally confused about the entire strategy for the entrance as well as the admission process. So here’s an ultimate guide for all the aspirants to know briefly about IIT-JEE. Joint Entrance Examination also known as JEE is an engineering entrance examination which is conducted by the IIT’s for candidates to get selected for most reputed engineering college in India to pursue different courses like B.Tech, B.Pharma, B.Arch, M.Sc. and M.Tech courses.

History of JEE Exam

The pattern for this entrance has changed considerably from the past few years. Earlier, the cut-off was disclosed and candidates were given paper copies of their answers. Since 2013-2014, JEE has gone under multiple variations and online admission process has been acquired. Even the application selection is now done through an online procedure, which was not existing in the past years. This has brought transparency to the entire process.
In 2012, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) notified various modifications for the entire system. The JEE-Main replaced AIEEE for admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NIT’s), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIIT’s), and also to some other institutes that are authorized as CFTI’s, known as the Centrally Funded Technical Institutes. Another change brought up was the replacement of IIT-JEE by JEE-Advanced. This was primarily for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT’s).
In 2013, the IIT council certified two phases for Joint Admission Board relevant for the IIT’s that were Mains and Advanced. In this strategy, Mains is followed by Advanced. The Joint Admission Process was accomplished by Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA).

Let’s have a brief view of both levels of the JEE Exam.

What is JEE Main?

JEE Main also known as Joint Entrance Exam – Main is a national level entrance exam supervised by NTA. This Exam is conducted for candidates to offer them admission to BE/B. Tech, B.Plan and B.Arch courses at the IIITs (Indian Institute of Information Technology), NITs (National Institute of Technology) and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) across the country.

Eligibility Criteria for JEE- Main

The candidates must fulfil the following conditions to be able to get eligible for Main exam.

JEE Main Cut off

There are two cut-offs for the Mains exam which are released by JoSAA i.e. JEE Main cut-off and Qualifying cut off. Both these cut-offs are different from each other. Admission cut off is vital for admission in the participating institutes. This cut off is released by JoSAA. While the qualifying cut off is the minimum score that a candidate needs to score in order to be eligible to appear for the Advanced. Previous years’ cut off, difficulty degree of the exam, the total number of available seats, the number of appearing candidates are some factors that derive the cut off for the exam.
