Important Differences Between JEE Mains and JEE Advanced

Anybody who satisfies the eligibility criteria can sit for JEE Main. But, the top 2,50,000 rankers of JEE Main are eligible to sit for JEE Advanced.

Certain top-notch institutes like IITs and ISM Dhanbad will only pick up candidates on the basis of All India Rank (AIR) in JEE Advanced subject to the condition that such candidates feature in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards in respective categories.

Candidates have the option of attempting paper 1 of JEE Main as a pen-paper test or an online test. But JEE Advanced does not offer any such option. Both the papers of JEE Advanced shall be paper-based tests.

Paper 2 of JEE Main is only for gaining admission into B. Arch B.Plan program. While those interested in pursuing Architecture and Design courses in an IIT shall be required to sit for the Design Aptitude Test in a zonal IIT sometime later.

A candidate can sit for the JEE Main a maximum of three times during his lifetime. A candidate can attempt JEE (Advanced) a maximum of two times in consecutive years.
