IIT stands for Indian Institute of Technology and these are the most prestigious colleges to study
engineering in India. Candidates who qualify the JEE exam which consists of JEE Main and JEE
Advanced exam will be eligible to seek admission in some of the top colleges and IITs.
Candidates who are interested can register or apply on the official website -
jeemain.nta.nic.in. Candidates should have minimum qualification to apply for JEE Main 2023 is
Class 12 Passing certificate / Marks card with Physics and Mathematics as mandatory subjects
along with Chemistry and Biology.
Generally, candidates are required to have 75% or more in their Class 12 final exams, or they
should be in the top 20 percentile to get admission to the IITs, NITs, and GFTIs.
JEE-Main
JEE-Main is conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA). JEE-Main has two papers, Paper-I and
Paper-II. Candidates may opt for either or both of them. Both papers contain multiple
choice questions. Paper-I is for admission to B.E./B.Tech courses and is conducted in a Computer
Based Test mode. Paper-II is for admission in B. Arch and B. Planning courses and will also be
conducted in Computer Based Test mode except for one paper, namely the 'Drawing Test' which
shall be conducted in Pen and Paper mode or offline mode. From January 2020 onwards, an
additional Paper-III is being introduced for B.Planning courses separately.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, JEE-Main 2021 has a change in paper format and number
of attempts. Now there will be 20 single choice questions and 10 numerical questions out of which
only five numerical questions are to be attempted. The marking scheme is same as earlier i.e. for
SCQs, +4 marks for correct answer and -1 marks for incorrect answer and 0 marks for not
answered, and for numerical type questions, +4 marks for correct and 0 for incorrect.
JEE-Main, unlike JEE-Advanced, has a fixed exam structure and is not subject to change every year.
Up until 2018, the JEE-Main Paper-I is of three hours duration and consists of thirty single choice
questions in each of the three subjects (physics, chemistry and maths). 4 marks are awarded for
correct answers and 1 mark is deducted for incorrect answers. Students taking this exam are
usually in the age group 18-20.
A new pattern consisting of 20+5 questions per subject was introduced in January 2020 with 20
single choice questions + 5 numerical type questions by NTA. In single-choice questions 4 marks
are awarded for correct answers and no marks are deducted from numerical type questions.
From 2013 to 2016, the marks obtained in the class XII school board examination used to be
accorded a 40% weightage in deciding the JEE-Main all India ranks.
JEE-Advanced
JEE-Advanced is conducted for entry into 23 IIT's and some other equally prestigious universities
like IISC Bangalore, IIST Thiruvananthapuram, Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy
(IIPE), Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISERs), Rajiv Gandhi Institute of
Petroleum Technology (RGIPT). This exam is conducted by any one of the IIT's every year. In 2020,
the exam was conducted by IIT Delhi. In 2021, 2022, and 2023, it shall be conducted by IIT
Kharagpur, IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati respectively. More than 2 lakh students become eligible
to write JEE-Advanced every year. The top 250,000 students of JEE Main qualify to appear for the
JEE-Advanced examination. In 2018, 224,000 students were appeared to take the JEE-Advanced, a
number that had gone up from 220,000 in 2017 and 200,000 in 2016.
History
The JEE pattern has undergone many changes. Since 2012 candidates are given paper copies of
their answers, and cut-offs are announced. This transparency was achieved after a tenacious legal
tussle waged by IIT Kharagpur professor Rajeev Kumar, who was nominated for the National RTI
Award 2010 for his crusade. Since 2013–14, JEE has changed a lot and recently adopted new
online admissions and application selection procedures which were not available in recent years.
In 2012, the government-run Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) that earlier conducted
the AIEEE, announced the JEE that replaced the AIEEE and IIT-JEE. The JEE-Main, which replaces
AIEEE, is for admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of
Information Technology (IIITs), and some other colleges designated as "centrally funded technical
institutes" (CFTIs). The JEE-Advanced, which replaces IIT-JEE, is only for admission to the Indian
Institutes of Technology (IITs). Only the students selected in JEE-Main are eligible for appearing
in JEE-Advanced. About 224,000 students will be selected from 2018.
In September 2013, the IIT Council approved the decision of the Joint Admission Board to
continue with the two-phase JEE pattern ("Main" followed by "Advanced") for IITs in 2014.
Followed by the exams, JoSAA conducts the joint admission process for a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs,
25 IIITs and other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs).
