Only the top 2,50,000 candidates (including all categories as per reservation policy) based on performance in JEE (Main), will qualify to appear in the JEE (Advanced) examination. Admission to IITs will be based only on category-wise All India Rank in JEE(Advanced), subject to the condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in Class XII/equivalent examination conducted by their Boards in applicable categories.

JEE (Advanced) 2024 Exam Pattern

JEE (Advanced ) Exam consists of two papers

• The question papers will be bilingual (in English and Hindi).
• Each of the question papers will consist of three separate sections on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. 
• The questions will be of objective type,  designed to test the comprehension, reasoning, and analytical ability of candidates.
• In some sections, incorrect answers will be awarded negative marks.  

The answers for each of the questions are to be marked on a separate, 2-sheet carbonless paper. Candidates must not separate or disturb the alignment of the upper and lower sheets at any stage during the examination. The upper sheet is a specially designed machine-readable sheet of paper (ORS-Optical Response Sheet).

While answering each of the questions the candidate is expected to darken the bubbles against the correct answers only on the upper sheet using a black ballpoint pen. The darkening on the upper sheet should be done in such a manner that the impression is seen on the lower sheet. Responses recorded on the upper sheet only will be taken as final. The candidate can take away the lower sheet with the permission of the invigilators at the end of the examination.  

JEE (Advanced) 2024 Qualifying Marks

• Admission to IITs and ISM Dhanbad will be based only on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced) subject to the condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards in respective categories.
• For candidates who passed their Board examination for the first time in 2021, the eligibility criteria for admission to any of the IITs or ISM Dhanbad is 60% marks (55% marks for SC/ST/PD) in their 12th Standard or equivalent qualifying examination.
• In case a Board does not provide the information regarding the cut-off for the top 20 percentile of successful candidates, the candidate will have to produce a certificate from the concerned Board stating that he/she falls within the top 20 percentile. In case the percentile score is not available from any testing agency, the CBSE cut-off score for the top 20 percentile for the student’s category will be used.
• If the candidate fails to do so, then the CBSE percentile will be used as the criteria for deciding the minimum percentage of marks in the qualifying examination.  
• If any Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Board specifying the equivalent marks, and submit it at the time of counseling. In case such a certificate is not provided the decision taken by the Joint Implementation Committee (JIC) of JEE (Advanced) will be final.
