The Entrance Exam consists of two papers: Paper 1 & Paper 2. It is also carried out in two shifts, held on the same day. It is mandatory for all the students to appear in both the papers in order to be eligible for a merit list. Aspirants are granted admissions to various undergraduates (UG), postgraduates (PG) and Dual Degree programs offered by IITs on the basis of marks or ranks secured by them in JEE Advanced.
