The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a prominent engineering entrance exam in India conducted for admission to various undergraduate engineering programs. JEE is typically conducted in two stages: JEE Main: Conducted multiple times a year (usually in January and April). > JEE Main is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). > It serves as the screening test for admissions to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). > The exam comprises multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and numerical value-based questions in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. > Candidates can choose to appear for one or both sessions of JEE Main (January and April). JEE Advanced: Conducted once a year (usually in May). > JEE Advanced is conducted by one of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) on a rotational basis. > Only candidates who qualify the JEE Main exam are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced. > JEE Advanced is the gateway for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and some other top engineering institutes in India. > The exam is more challenging and tests candidates' conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. JEE Main Scoring: > Each correct answer in JEE Main carries four marks. > Incorrect answers result in a deduction of one mark (negative marking). > Unanswered questions do not attract any marks, and there is no negative marking for them. > The total score in JEE Main is calculated based on the sum of marks obtained in all sections (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics). > The raw score is converted into a percentile score, which indicates the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below a particular raw score. This percentile score helps in comparing the performance of candidates relative to others who have taken the exam. JEE Advanced Scoring: > JEE Advanced follows a different scoring pattern compared to JEE Main. > The marking scheme may vary depending on the type of question and the section. > Candidates are awarded marks based on the correct answers provided, and deductions may apply for incorrect answers in some sections. > The detailed scoring pattern for JEE Advanced is specified in the official information bulletin released by the respective IIT conducting the exam. > Similar to JEE Main, the raw score in JEE Advanced is converted into a percentile score, which helps in comparing candidates' performance relative to others. JEE Exam Eligibility: For JEE Main, candidates must have passed or be appearing for the 10+2 examination or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as mandatory subjects. For JEE Advanced, candidates must qualify JEE Main and meet additional eligibility criteria specified by the conducting IIT. Exam Fees- JEE Main: For General and OBC candidates: For candidates opting for paper 1 or paper 2: Rs. 650 to Rs. 1300 (depending on the number of attempts and mode of examination). For candidates opting for both paper 1 and paper 2: Rs. 1300 to Rs. 2600 (depending on the number of attempts and mode of examination). For SC/ST/PwD and female candidates: For candidates opting for paper 1 or paper 2: Rs. 325 to Rs. 650 (depending on the number of attempts and mode of examination). For candidates opting for both paper 1 and paper 2: Rs. 650 to Rs. 1300 (depending on the number of attempts and mode of examination). JEE Advanced: For candidates belonging to the General category: Rs. 2800 to Rs. 3500. For candidates belonging to SC, ST, PwD categories: Rs. 1400 to Rs. 1750. Female candidates (all categories): Rs. 1400 to Rs. 1750. It's essential for candidates to stay updated with the official JEE website or notifications from the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the latest information regarding exam dates, application procedures, syllabus, and other relevant details, as changes may occur.
