The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is India’s top engineering entrance exam for undergraduate programs. It includes JEE Main—for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other top institutions—and JEE Advanced—for entry into IITs.
These exams test your proficiency in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. JEE Advanced is more challenging and designed to assess analytical and problem-solving skills. Cracking JEE is the key to entering India’s top engineering colleges.
The JEE Advanced 2027 examination will be conducted by IIT Delhi, the organizing institute for the exam. The exam is scheduled to be held in May 2027 (Tentative) in two compulsory papers:
