About Exam-

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is one of the most prestigious and challenging engineering entrance exams in India. Conducted in two phases - JEE Main and JEE Advanced - this exam opens doors to some of the country's top engineering institutes like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), and other reputed institutions. In this blog, we'll delve into the key aspects of the JEE exam, preparation strategies, and essential tips to excel in this rigorous test. For more Information read full article by examrewards.com

MODE OF SELECTION:-

·       JEE Main Selection: JEE Main serves as the preliminary stage of the selection process. Here's how the selection process works:

·       Eligibility Criteria: Students who have completed their 10+2 education or its equivalent are eligible to appear for JEE Main.

·       Scoring Mechanism: The examination evaluates candidates on their knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Based on their performance, candidates are assigned a normalized score. This score is utilized for admissions into National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), Government Funded Technical Institutions (GFTIs), and is also a criterion for JEE Advanced eligibility.

·       Rank Calculation: The final JEE Main rank is determined by a combination of the candidate's JEE Main score and their normalized board exam score. The All India Rank (AIR) is used for admission to various institutions.

·       JEE Advanced Selection: JEE Advanced is the next phase of selection for candidates who aim to secure a seat in prestigious institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The selection process is as follows:

·       Eligibility: Only the top 2.5 lakh (approximately) candidates from JEE Main are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

·       Performance in JEE Advanced: JEE Advanced assesses candidates' in-depth understanding of concepts and problem-solving skills. It is designed to be more challenging than JEE Main.

·       Ranking in JEE Advanced: Based on their performance in JEE Advanced, candidates are ranked, and admissions to IITs are offered according to their rank and preferred choices of branches and institutes.

·       Cutoff Ranks: Each IIT declares its own cutoff ranks for various courses. Candidates who meet these cutoffs during counseling rounds are offered seats.

·       Counseling and Seat Allocation:

·       After the declaration of JEE Advanced results, candidates need to participate in the centralized counseling process, commonly known as JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counseling. Here's how it works:

·       Online Choice Filling: Candidates fill in their preferred choices of institutes and engineering branches online.

·       Allocation Rounds: JOSAA conducts multiple rounds of seat allocation based on candidates' ranks, choices, and the availability of seats in different institutions.

·       Acceptance and Reporting: Once a seat is allocated, candidates must accept the seat online and report to the respective institute for further formalities.

ELIGIBILITY

Eligibility Criteria for JEE Main:

·       Educational Qualification: Candidates must have completed their 10+2 or equivalent examination from a recognized board with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects.

·       Year of Qualification: Those who are appearing for their 10+2 examination in the same year as the JEE Main can also apply.

·       Age Limit: There is no specific age limit to appear for JEE Main. However, candidates should check the age criteria of the institutes they intend to apply to, as some institutions might have age-related eligibility conditions.

·       Number of Attempts: Candidates can attempt JEE Main for a maximum of three consecutive years.

·       Subject Combination: Candidates must have taken five subjects in their 10+2 examination, including Language, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and one additional subject.

·       Number of Subjects in JEE Main: For calculating the JEE Main percentile, candidates must have taken at least five subjects in their 10+2 examination. In case a candidate has appeared in fewer than five subjects, the percentile calculation might not be possible, and the candidate might not be eligible for JEE Main.

Eligibility Criteria for JEE Advanced:

·       Performance in JEE Main: Only the top 2.5 lakh (approximately) candidates who score the highest in JEE Main are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

·       Number of Attempts: Candidates can attempt JEE Advanced for a maximum of two consecutive years.

·       Age Limit: Candidates should be born on or after a specific date, as determined by the examination authorities. The age limit varies slightly each year, so candidates must check the official notification for accurate information.

·       Number of Subjects in JEE Advanced: To be eligible for JEE Advanced, candidates must have taken at least six subjects in their 10+2 examination.

·       Attempts in Previous Years: Candidates who have been admitted to an IIT in the past are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.
