JEE is a national-level engineering entrance examination administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA), previously managed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). It serves as the gateway for admission to undergraduate programs such as BE, B.Tech, and B.Arch at various prestigious institutions including NITs, IIITs, centrally funded technical institutions, state-funded institutions, and several other participating institutions across India.
The second level of the examination is reserved for admission to undergraduate programs at Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and is solely open to qualified applicants who have passed the JEE Main cutoff.
