JEE, IITs & Engineering Admission
Everything on JEE Main and JEE Advanced — eligibility, exam pattern, attempts, JoSAA counselling, and the path into the IITs, NITs and IIITs.
JEE is the gateway to India's top engineering institutes. JEE Main (conducted by the NTA) leads to the NITs, IIITs and GFTIs through JoSAA, while JEE Advanced is the second stage for admission to the IITs.
These guides explain each step in plain language and link every time-sensitive fact to the official source, because eligibility and counselling rules are set fresh each year.
