JEE Advanced Registration 2026 Live: What Is JEE Advanced 2026?

JEE Advanced is the second stage of India's two-tier national engineering entrance system, conducted after JEE Main. Around 2,50,000 candidates from JEE Main Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.) are eligible to attempt JEE Advanced. Admission through this exam leads to undergraduate programmes at all 23 IITs, including B.Tech., B.S., B.Arch., Dual Degree (B.Tech.–M.Tech.), Integrated M.Tech., and other combinations, all taught in English.

For 2026, the Organizing Institute is IIT Roorkee.

Absence from either paper results in automatic disqualification.
