IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) is the most prestigious engineering colleges across India for admissions to the courses like BE/B.Tech., B.Arch. and B.Planning. There are 23 IITs in India which has nearly 29,000 seats. Founded in 1951, there were only 6 IITs earlier. However, after a few years, there have been a number of developments in new IITs. To get admission in IIT, a student needs to qualify JEE exam which is conducted every year in the month of January, April and May. JEE is conducted in two steps namely, JEE Mains and JEE Advanced.

JEE is the common test for the students seeking admissions in engineering colleges—IITs, NITs, CFITs, etc. To get admission in IIT, the candidate must have cleared JEE Advanced. For that, the candidate has to first appear in the JEE Main. Only the top 2.5 lakhs candidates clearing JEE Main are eligible to attempt JEE Advanced.

JEE Main is a National Level Engineering Entrance Exam conducted by NTA and it acts as a gateway for admission to the Engineering Institutes in India such as IITs, GFTIs, NITs, IIITs, etc. Approximately, 12 lakh aspirants get themselves registered for JEE Main and those who clears the exam are eligible to get admission in IITs, GFTIs, NITs, IIITs, ISM, etc. JEE Main is also a qualifying exam for JEE Advanced.

JEE Advanced is conducted by one of its 7 zonal IITs in every year, under the guidance of JAB (Joint Admission Board). In 2019, the exam was conducted by IIT Roorkee and in 2020, it will be conducted by IIT Delhi. The top 2.4 lakh rank holders of the Main exam are eligible for the Advanced exam for admission in IITs. Candidates can attempt for JEE Advanced at most two times in two consecutive years.

JEE offers two different papers for the candidates as per their required field. Paper 1 is for the admission in BE/ B.Tech. and Paper 2 is for the admission in B.Arch. and B.Planning. Students can go for either papers or both, as per their choice of courses.

Candidates who have passed or equivalently qualified in 2018, 2019 or appearing in 2020 are eligible to apply for JEE. The candidates must have secured 75% aggregate in their class 12 board exams and SC, ST and PWD must have secured 65%. After qualifying JEE Advanced, the candidates are required to fill the counselling form and choose their favourable colleges. Following this, the allocation of seats is done to the students. 

Candidates who have qualified JEE Main are eligible to get admission in GFTIs, NITs, IIITs, etc.

A student with PCM in class 12 can pursue his career in engineering, architecture, merchant navy, commercial pilot, national defence services, medical (PCB), etc. A student without PCM in class 12 can pursue his career in mass media, law, company secretary, chartered accountancy, journalism, hotel management, etc.
