📌 Introduction to JEE
JEE is a crucial entrance exam for students aspiring to join top engineering colleges in India.
It has two levels:
1. JEE Mains
2. JEE Advanced
Both exams cover Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics with a common syllabus, but they differ significantly in purpose, eligibility, pattern, and scope.
📝 JEE Mains
✅Purpose: For admission to
1. 31 National Institutes of Technology (NITs)
2. 26 Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs)
3. 32 Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs)
✅Frequency: Conducted twice a year (January & April).
✅Eligibility:
1. Can attempt JEE Mains up to three consecutive years starting from Class 12 completion.
2. Requires 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 for General/OBC, or 65% for SC/ST, including all subjects (not just PCM).
✅Conducting Body: National Testing Agency (NTA).
✅Medium: Available in 13 languages, including Tamil.
✅Exam Duration:
1. Engineering (Paper 1): 3 hours.
2. Architecture (Paper 2A) & Planning (Paper 2B): 3 hours each.
✅Marking Scheme:
1. Total: 90 questions (30 each in PCM), attempt 75.
2. +4 for correct answers, -1 for wrong.
3. Questions include MCQs and numerical type.
✅Ranking & Advancement:
1. Best score from the two attempts is considered for rank.
2. Top ~2.5 lakh rankers across categories qualify for JEE Advanced.
📝 JEE Advanced
✅Purpose: Required for admission into 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) — India’s premier engineering institutions.
✅Eligibility:
1. Only top 2-2.5 lakh performers in JEE Mains (with category-wise quotas) can appear.
2. Can attempt Advanced a maximum of two consecutive years post-Class 12.
✅Frequency: Conducted once a year.
✅Conducting Body: Joint Admission Board (JAB) of IITs, rotated among IITs like Madras, Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, etc.
✅Medium: Available only in English and Hindi (a disadvantage for Tamil medium students).

✅Marking Scheme:
1. Varies every year; no fixed number of questions or total marks (past years ranged between 300-360 marks).
