Eligibility

Rank among roughly the top 2.5 lakh candidates in JEE Main Paper 1. A maximum of two attempts in two consecutive years. Age limit of 25 (relaxed for SC/ST/PwD). 75% in Class 12 (65% for SC/ST) or top 20 percentile of the board.

Pattern

Two compulsory papers of three hours each, both covering Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, with a mix of question types and partial, zero and negative marking that changes from year to year.

What this means for Class 11

  1. Only PCM qualifies, so this route needs Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (041) in Class 11.
  2. Architecture at IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur has a separate Architecture Aptitude Test after JEE Advanced.
