Joint Entrance Examination – Advanced

Not to be confused with Joint Entrance Examination – Main.

The Joint Entrance Examination – Advanced (JEE-Advanced) (formerly the Indian Institute of Technology – Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE)) is an academic examination held annually in India that tests the skills and knowledge of the applicants in physics, chemistry and mathematics. It is organised by one of the seven zonal Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs): IIT Roorkee, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, and IIT Guwahati, under the guidance of the Joint Admission Board (JAB) on a round-robin rotation pattern for the qualifying candidates of the Joint Entrance Examination – Main(exempted for foreign nationals and candidates who have secured OCI/PIO cards on or after 04-03-2021). It used to be the sole prerequisite for admission to the IITs' bachelor's programs before the introduction of UCEED,^[2] Online B.S.^[3] and Olympiad entries,^[4] but seats through these new media are very low.^[5]

Other universities, such as the Indian Maritime University Kolkata, the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy, the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology and the Indian Institute of Space Technology, use the score obtained in the JEE-Advanced exam as the sole basis for admission. The Indian Institute of Science also uses the score obtained in the JEE-Advanced exam as one of the basis for admission. The JEE-Advanced score is also used as a possible basis for admission by Indian applicants to non-Indian universities such as the University of Cambridge and the National University of Singapore.^[6][7]

The JEE-Advanced has been consistently ranked as one of the toughest exams in the world.^[8][9] High school students from across India typically prepare for several years to take this exam, and most of them attending coaching institutes. The combination of its high difficulty level, intense competition, unpredictable paper pattern and low acceptance rate exerts immense pressure on aspirants, making success in this exam a highly sought-after achievement. In a 2018 interview, former IIT Delhi director V. Ramgopal Rao, said the exam is "tricky and difficult" because it is framed to "reject candidates, not to select them".^[10] In 2024, out of the 180,200 candidates who took the exam, 48,248 candidates qualified.

History

IIT Kharagpur, one of the first Institutions where students selected in IIT-JEE were admitted

The first institute among IITs, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, started in 1951. In its initial years before 1961, students were admitted based on their academic results, followed by an interview in several locations across the country. From 1955 to 1960, admissions for the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur were conducted via a national examination. Academic disciplines were allotted to the students via interviews and counselling sessions held at Kharagpur.

The IIT-JEE was first conducted in 1961 as Common Entrance Exam (CEE), coinciding with the 1961 IIT Act.^[11]

In 1978, the English paper was not considered when ranking participants' performance in the examination. In 1998, the English test was discontinued.

In 1997, the IIT-JEE was conducted twice after the question paper was leaked in some locations.

Between 2000 and 2005, an additional screening test was used alongside the main examination, intended to reduce pressure on the main examination by allowing only about 20,000 top candidates to appear for the examination, out of more than 450,000 applicants.

In 2002, an additional exam called the AIEEE was introduced, and it was used for admissions to many institutions of national importance other than the IITs.

In June 2005, The Hindu newspaper led a campaign for reforming the IIT-JEE to eradicate the "coaching mania" and to improve gender and socio-economic diversity.^[12][13][14] Two possible solutions were proposed - either a convergence between the screening test and the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), or a two-tier examination. Whereas ranks from the first tier can be used to gain admission to the NITs and other engineering colleges in the country.

In September 2005, the group of directors of all the IITs announced significant revisions to the examination. These were implemented from 2006 onward.^[15] The revised examination consisted of a single objective test, replacing and abolishing the earlier two-test system with screener. In the revised examination, to be eligible for taking it, candidates in the general category had to obtain at least 60% aggregate marks in the 12th-grade examinations organized by various educational boards of India, while candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Persons With Disabilities (PwD) categories needed a minimum score of 55%.

In 2008, the director and the dean of IIT Madras proposed further revisions to the examination, arguing that the coaching institutes were "enabling many among the less-than-best students to crack the test and keeping girls from qualifying". They expressed concern that the present system did not allow for applicants' 12 years of schooling to have a bearing on admissions into IIT.^[16]

In 2008, the Indian Institutes of Technology began offering their admission tests in Dubai.^[17] Annually, the number of candidates for the examination in Dubai varies between 200 and 220.^[18]

In 2013, the AIEEE was renamed JEE-Main, and IIT-JEE was renamed JEE-Advanced; the JEE-Main had become the screening exam for JEE-Advanced.

The two-tier reform suggested in 2005 may become a reality as the Indian government has announced plans for a single entrance exam for all engineering colleges from 2018, with students aspiring for the IITs having to pass the nationwide standardized engineering entrance exam JEE-Main with high marks, and then take the JEE-Advanced to qualify for the IITs.^[19] In 2018, the JEE-Advanced exam started being conducted online.

NOTE:

• (1) Qualifying to take JEE-Advanced does not mean IIT admission.^[25][26]
• (2) Reserved categories have lower qualifying cutoff, (e.g. GEN-EWS/OBC-NCL get 10% relaxation, SC/ST/PWD get 50% relaxation and SC/ST/PWD also get 75% relaxation for preparatory courses in IITs) who are also considered qualified and thus included in the list.^[27]
• (3) From 2013, only a certain threshold number of students from JEE-Main are allowed to take JEE-Advanced.^[28]

Paper pattern

JEE(Advanced) is conducted in two papers of three hours each - Paper-1 and Paper-2,(both papers are compulsory to write)both the papers consist questions from three major subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Unlike most of the other exams, the type , the number of questions being asked in the paper, the total marks and the marking scheme varies from year to year depending upon the organizing institute, with an average of about 36–38 questions asked from each subject across both the shifts, For example, the 2021 JEE-Advanced paper had 38 questions (19 questions in Paper-1 and the next 19 in Paper-2) from each of the three subjects.

Each paper in every subject is divided into 4 sections(The marking scheme may vary from year to year):

Section	Problem type	Description
1	4 single-correct MCQs	+4 marks for every correct answer 0 marks for unanswered questions -1 mark for every wrong answer
2	3 question stems with 2 questions per stem (numerical answers with two decimal places)	+2 marks for every correct answer 0 marks otherwise
3	6 multi-correct MCQs	+4 marks if (all) the correct option(s) is(are) chosen +3 marks if all the options are correct but only 3 options are chosen +2 marks if 3 or more options are correct but only 2 correct options are chosen +1 mark if 2 or more options are correct but only 1 correct option is chosen 0 marks if unanswered −2 marks if at least 1 incorrect option is chosen
4	3 fill-in-the-blank questions (answers are non-negative integers)	+4 marks for a correct answer 0 marks otherwise

A typical instruction page of the paper mainly consists of information related to the type of question asked, here it explains the multi correct-multiple choice questions

Some previous year papers also included matrix match type questions instead of single-correct multiple choice questions.^[43][44]

Seats[46]

IIT Bombay is one of the most competitive institutes in India to get into and has been the first-preferred destination of high-achievers in JEE-Advanced.

The number of students taking the examination increased substantially each year with 506,484 candidates registered for JEE-Advanced- 2012.^[47] However, with the two stage JEE-Main + JEE-Advanced structure from 2013,^[48] the number of candidates in JEE-Advanced is fixed at 150 thousand students in 2013 and it is increased in subsequent years to 250 thousand as of 2022.^[49] The total seats available in each institute (Seat Matrix) is summarized in table below.^[50]

Note: This intake is only about bachelor's program intake through JEE-Advanced and it is not about intake in IITs, because some IITs also admit students through UCEED and Olympiads.^{[54][55][56][57][58]}

In 2011, additional courses were introduced in the IITs. IIT Tirupati and IIT Palakkad were started in 2015 and four more institutes (IIT Bhilai, IIT Dharwad, IIT Goa, and IIT Jammu) opened in 2016. In 2018, to ensure minimum female enrollment of 14%, the IITs introduced "female-only" and "gender-neutral" seats based on 2017 enrollment statistics; and "super-numerary" seats were allocated per-institute and per-course to reach a 14% target. With these, and slight overall seat increases, the total seat availability was over 12,000, including 801 "super-numerary female-only" seats. For 2019, with the partial rollout of a 10% EWS quota (without a reduction in non-reserved seats) and the increase of the female enrollment target to 17%, the total seats available went up to over 13,500, with over 1200 super-numerary female-only seats. In 2020, with the full rollout of the 10% EWS quota and a 20% female enrolment target, total available seats increased further to 16,053, with over 1500 super-numerary female-only seats.

Criticism

In 2012, Super 30 founder and mathematician Anand Kumar criticized the New Admission Norms, saying that the decision of the IITs' council to give a chance to students in the top 20% from various boards in the class 12 examinations was "a decision in haste". "This is one decision that will go against the poor, who don't have the opportunity to study in elite schools," he added.^[59]

The IIT-JEE is conducted only in English and Hindi; it has been criticized as being harder for students from places where other Indian languages, like Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Oriya, Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, or Gujarati, are more prominent. In September 2011, the Gujarat High Court acted on a Public Interest Litigation by the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad, demanding the examinations be conducted in Gujarati too.^[60] A second petition was made that October by Navsari's Sayaji Vaibhav Sarvajanik Pustakalaya Trust.^[61] Another petition was made at the Madras High Court for conducting the exam in Tamil. In the petition, it was claimed that not conducting the exam in the regional languages violates article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) party, a political party in Tamil Nadu, held a demonstration at Chennai for conducting the IIT-JEE and other national entrance exams in regional languages also, particularly Tamil in Tamil Nadu.^[62]

The PMK party filed Public Interest Litigation in the Madras High Court to conduct the IIT-JEE entrance exam in Tamil. They claimed that every year 763,000 students were completing grade 12 in Tamil Nadu, 75% of them from Tamil Medium. They had to take the entrance exam in English or Hindi, neither of which was their medium of instruction nor their mother tongue, and so were denied their fundamental right to take the entrance exam in a language familiar to them.^[63][64] Shiv Sena urged the MHRD to conduct the IIT-JEE and other national undergraduate entrance exams in regional languages, particularly Marathi in Maharashtra.^[65] In 2017, the Supreme Court ordered JAB to put a bar on the ongoing counseling process. There were three questions comprising a total of 11 marks that were unclear.

JEE(Advanced) has also been criticised for its notoriously tough examination pattern, for a high school student, the questions asked go way beyond the scope of conventional teaching in schools, this forces the students to opt for coaching classes. The coaching classes create a situation of extreme pressure for the students, gradually affecting their mental health.^[66]

Coaching

Preparation for the Joint Entrance Exam begins typically two to four years before students take the test. Most students who passed this exam attended coaching institutes, which had created a ₹2309992.61 billion industry with annual tuition of up to ₹288850,000.^{[citation needed]} These academies included mock tests multiple times a week, up to 200 students per class, and long hours, ranging from 4 to 7 hours a day, in addition to regular high school work. There were hundreds of academies across the country, and the most famous—in Kota, Rajasthan—attracted approximately 125,000 students each year.^[67]

Coaching programs are major corporations, listed on the Indian stock market and also attracting billions of dollars of investment from private equity firms.^[68] The high-pressure environment at these coaching institutes has been blamed for a significant number of suicides.^[69]

Recent modifications in the exam

There were several changes made to the exam in 2018. The Joint Admission Board (JAB) decided to conduct the entire exam online from 2018 onwards, hoping to reduce the chances of paper leak and make logistics and evaluation easier. It said that the online exam would neutralize the problem of misprinting.^[70]

JEE(Advanced) 2020 was scheduled on 17 May 2020.However due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the JEE-Main 2020 April attempt was postponed to September(JEE(Main) 2020 September attempt was held from September 1 2020 to September 6 2020),JEE(Advanced) 2020 was also postponed and was held on 27 September 2020.

A series of schedule revisions were carried out in 2021. The former Education minister of India, Ramesh Pokhriyal confirmed the dates for the exam. JEE-Main exam was slated to be conducted in eight sessions over four days— two sessions each day— for each phase, with a total of four phases being held in four different months. The first phase was organized from the 23 to 28 February, while the other phases were scheduled to be organized in the subsequent months of March, April and May. The JEE-Advanced exam was scheduled to be held on 3 July 2021 but was postponed— together with the third and fourth phases of the JEE-Main examination that were to be held in the respective months of April and May— due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The third and fourth phases of the JEE-Main examinations were later held on 20 July - 3 August and 26 August – 2 September, respectively. The JEE-Advanced exam was held on 3 October 2021.
