JEE ADVANCED 2026
About JEE-ADVANCED
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 organized by one of the seven zonal 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 JEE-Main (exempted for Foreign Candidates). It used to be the sole prerequisite for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology bachelor’s programs before the introduction of UCEED, Online B.S and Olympiad entries, but seats through these new media are very low.
The JEE – Advanced exam is conducted by the various Indian institutes of technology on a rotating basis. For JEE 2026 Advanced the organizer will be IIT Roorkee.
