JEE (Joint Entrance Examination)-2015


Joint Entrance Examination
The new pattern of JEE aims to create an umbrella through single combined entrance exam for the admission to over 2500 Engineering Colleges (Govt. + Private) in the country. It minimizes over 50 different Engineering Entrance Exams to one.

JEE body has decided to commence a Joint Entrance Examination from the year 2013 for admission to the undergraduate programs in Engineering in two phases, i.e. JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced). The first 1, 50,000 candidates (including all categories) based on their performance in JEE (Main) will qualify to appear in JEE (Advanced) examination. Admissions to IITs will be based on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced) subject to conditions that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile categories. Admission to NITs will be based on 40 % weightage of the performance in Class XII board marks (normalized) and the remainder 60 % weightage would be given to performance in JEE (Main) and a combined All India Rank (AIR) would be decided accordingly. The policy could also be adopted by other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) and the other participating institutions.

If a State seeks to admit students in the Engineering Colleges affiliated to that State Universities then that State requires separate merit list to be provided based on relative weightage adopted by the states, then the merit list shall be prepared with such relative weightage as may be indicated by the State. The examination will be conducted in the Regional Languages of the State(s) on the requests of such State(s).

Institutes Participating under JEE and their Number of Seats
·         17- Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) + IIT-BHU + ISMU, Dhanbad = 10000 Plus Seats
·         30- National Institutes of Technology (NITs) = 20000 Plus Seats
·         5- Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) = 2000 Plus Seats
·         6- Indian Institutes of Science Education & Research (IISERs) +1- Indian Institute of Science (IISc) = 2500 Plus Seats
·         Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology (IIST) + 3-Indian Statistical Institutes (ISIs) = 500 Plus Seats
·         100-ISITs + 1000-Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) = 5000 Plus Seats
·         1000-State Level Colleges (PETs) = 5 Lac plus Seats
·         Overall 2500 Institutes participate for a total of 5.5 Lac seats through JEE

Benefits of JEE
JEE conducts a single entrance exam for all engineering aspirants in India to take admission into the Engineering/ Science institutions. No need to apply for several entrance exams. The students will be free and relaxed after appearing in a single exam. Owing to this, stress-level will be considerably reduced. Avoid multiple exams which pose the challenge of preparing for different syllabi and patterns. It is a substantial financial savings for parents. A simultaneous preparation of School/ Board examinations and JEE will yield better results. Introduction of JEE eliminates unnecessary wastage of time, efforts & money.
