The online application window for JEE Advanced will be opened on September 11. JEE Advanced, held for admission to undergraduate Engineering, Science and Architecture courses in the 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), will be held on October 3. The JEE Advanced 2021 administering body, IIT Kharagpur, will allow the students register for the engineering entrance test till September 16.
To be considered qualified for JEE Advanced, an applicant must be among the top 2.5 lakh successful JEE Main candidates. Considering the hardships the students have been facing during the last one and a half year due to the ongoing Covid pandemic and the associated hassles of online classes, several changes have been made to the format of JEE Advanced 2021. Candidates who qualified for JEE Advanced 2020 but remained absent due to Covid and associated reasons will be allowed to appear for JEE Advanced 2021 directly, without having to take the JEE Main 2021 exam.
As a first, IIT Kharagpur will provide full-ride scholarship to support students who figure in the top 100 of all India rankings of JEE advanced, institute Director Professor Virendra Kumar Tewari announced. The scholarship entitled 'Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Full Scholarship for Top 100 JEE (Advanced) Rankers' will cover the entire expenses of students who win it till they complete their BTech course at IIT Kharagpur, Professor Tewari said at the institute's 71st foundation day programme held at its campus.
