The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a national-level engineering entrance exam conducted in two phases: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. JEE Main is required for admission into NITs, IIITs, and other engineering colleges, while JEE Advanced is the gateway to the IITs.
The exam evaluates a student’s understanding of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, focusing on problem-solving and conceptual clarity. It is one of the toughest exams in India, and a good rank in JEE opens doors to top-tier engineering institutes across the country.
