More Questions About TNEA & Related Exams

Both sessions have the same paper; you can take one or both, and your better NTA score is used for ranking. In recent cycles NTA has held Session 1 in January, an early attempt before boards, and Session 2 in April, a second shot after boards. Most serious aspirants register for both. Live 2027 dates are on our JEE Main page.

Prepare for JEE Main first. BITSAT, VITEEE, MET and SRMJEEE test the same Class 11–12 PCM base, so JEE preparation carries over. Each needs its own application and fee, with deadlines spread from winter to spring, so register for two or three realistic backups based on your mock scores. Track every deadline on the engineering exams hub.

NIT seats are split into Home State and Other State quotas. Your home state is the state where you first appeared for Class 12, not your native place or address. You compete for Home State seats only at the NIT in that state, and for Other State seats everywhere else, so closing ranks differ by quota. Compare both on our JoSAA cutoffs page.

There is no single cutoff: it depends on the institute, branch, category, gender pool and quota. The best guide is the previous year's JoSAA opening and closing ranks. NITs, IIITs and GFTIs allot seats on your JEE Main rank, while IITs use your JEE Advanced rank. Check last year's ranks with our JoSAA cutoffs and college predictor.

Yes. BITS Pilani admits through BITSAT and does not use JEE scores; it also gives direct admission to first-rank holders of central and state boards. VIT and Manipal (MAHE) run their own tests, VITEEE and MET. See dates on the BITSAT, VITEEE and MET pages.

Only the top 2,50,000 JEE Main Paper 1 candidates (split by category) can register, in a short window of roughly ten days after JEE Main Session 2 results. Registration is online at jeeadv.ac.in only; if you miss the final deadline, you cannot sit JEE Advanced that year. Watch the JEE Advanced page for the 2027 window.

Often, yes. CSAB Special rounds run after JoSAA to fill vacant seats in NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, and closing ranks there can be lower than in JoSAA. They need a separate registration and fee, and accepting a seat means paying an admission fee under CSAB's refund rules, so read the CSAB business rules before you register.

Yes. For IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs you need 75% aggregate in Class 12 (65% for SC, ST and PwD) or a place in your board's top 20 percentile. Droppers can sit a board improvement exam: improving one or more subjects can get you to 75%, but the top-20-percentile route needs improvement in all subjects. You can still take JEE without meeting it.

JEE Main: you can appear in the year you take Class 12 and the two years after it, with two sessions a year, so up to six attempts. JEE Advanced: a maximum of two attempts in two consecutive years. Droppers should plan both JEE Advanced attempts from their first year.

JoSAA allots seats in IITs, IISc, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs over several rounds (five in 2026) using your JEE ranks and your ordered choices. After each allotment you must choose Freeze, Float or Slide, complete online reporting and pay the seat acceptance fee (₹30,000; ₹15,000 for SC, ST and PwD in 2026). Missing a step in a round forfeits your seat and further JoSAA participation.

Engineering entrance exams follow a fixed annual cycle. JEE Main registration for the January session has opened around late October or November of the preceding year, while state CETs such as KCET, MHT CET and WBJEE usually notify early in the exam year. Expect the same pattern for the 2028 and 2029 cycles. Verified dates are added to the engineering exams hub soon after each official notification.
