The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is an engineering entrance assessment conducted

for admission to various engineering colleges in India. It is constituted by two different
examinations: the JEE Main and the JEE Advanced.
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducts the joint admission process for a total
of 23 Indian Institute of Technology campuses, 31 National Institute of
Technology campuses, 25 Indian Institute of Information Technology campuses and 19
other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) based on the rank obtained by a
student in JEE Main and JEE Advanced.[1]
There are some institutes, such as the Indian Institutes of Science Education and
Research (IISERs), the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE), the Rajiv Gandhi
Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), the Indian Institute of Space Science and
Technology (IIST), and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), which use the score obtained in
the JEE Advanced examination as the basis for admission.[2][3] These institutes do not
participate in the post-examination counselling session (JoSAA). Any student who takes
admission to an Indian Institute of Technology cannot appear for the JEE Advanced
examination again, but the same is not the case with NIT, IISc, IISERs, RGIPT, IIPE, and
IIST since they have separate and exclusive counselling sessions.[clarification needed]

JEE Main[edit]
Main article: Joint Entrance Examination – Main
JEE Main is being 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 an additional Paper - III is being introduced for B.Planning courses
separately.[4]
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.[5][6]
JEE Main, unlike JEE Advanced, has a fixed exam structure and is not subject to change
every year. Up until 2018, the JEE exam paper-1 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 question by NTA. In single-choice questions 4
marks are awarded for correct answers and no marks are deducted from numerical type
questions.[7]
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.[8][9]

JEE Advanced[edit]
Main article: Joint Entrance Examination – Advanced
JEE Advanced exam is conducted for entry into 23 IIT's and some other 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, 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 students who qualify the
JEE-Main exam become eligible for the JEE-Advanced examination. In 2018, 224,000
students were allowed to take the JEE-Advanced,[10] a number that had gone up from 220,000
in 2017 and 200,000 in 2016.[11]

History[edit]
The JEE pattern has undergone many changes. Since 2010 candidates are given paper copies
of their answers, and cutoffs are announced.[12] This transparency was achieved after a
tenacious legal tussle waged by IIT Kharagpur professor Rajeev Kumar,[13] who was
nominated for the National RTI Award 2010 for his crusade.[14] 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 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.
Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducted the joint admission process for a total of
23 IITs, ISM, 32 NITs, 18 IIITs and 19 other Government Funded Technical Institutes
(GFTIs).[15][16]
