JEE Advanced Exam Introduction
JEE Advanced, also known as the Joint Entrance Examination - Advanced, is a highly competitive engineering entrance test in India that determines admission to the famous Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). It is the second Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) level after the JEE Main. Candidates must first pass JEE Main to be eligible for JEE Advanced, which comprises two examinations covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with a challenging syllabus based on the 11th and 12th-grade curriculum. JEE Advanced is a difficult exam that examines in-depth knowledge, problem-solving capabilities, and analytical ability. It is administered by one of the IITs.
