The Joint Entrance Examination is the largest entrance exam for aspiring engineers in India. Nearly 13 lakh candidates take the exam. Those who clear are selected for the most prestigious engineering colleges and institutes of the country. The exam is conducted at two levels: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. All students who apply for JEE Main are eligible to apply for JEE Advanced too. The toppers of JEE Main 2014 up to the rank of  about 1.5 lakh are generally eligible to take JEE Advanced on the condition that they fulfil all other eligibility conditions also. JEE Advanced is for admission into IITs.

For admission to different colleges and undergraduate engineering courses, two scores are combined to calculate an All India Rank (AIR). The AIR is based on a candidate’s JEE Main 2014 score (with a weightage of 60%) and his/her normalized score of Class XII or equivalent exam (with a weightage of 40%).

The JEE Main 2014 is conducted in both offline (paper–pencil) and online (computer-based) modes. The syllabus for the exam is the same as the syllabus of Class XI and XII for three subjects – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The exam is conducted for a duration of three (3) hours. There is negative marking in the exam. For every right answer 1 mark is given, and for every wrong answer one-fourth marks are cut. Thus, there is 25% penalty on every wrong answer. A total of 90 questions are asked, 30 each from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Questions are multiple-choice or objective-type, where only one of the given options is correct.

Admissions are based on reservation to certain categories also. For example, 27% seats are reserved for OBC candidates, 15% for SC candidates, 7.5% for ST candidates and 3% for persons with disability (PwD). Cutoff marks for different categories are also different. Candidates may analyse previous year’s cutoff, counselling pattern and admissions to get an idea about the current year’s admissions.
