It is a common dilemma for students preparing for engineering entrance exams: Whether to write both JEE Main and JEE Advanced or just settle for the former. If both, then one needs to decide in advance so that the preparation of both goes hand in hand. These exams are interrelated but different at the same time. Scores in JEE Main exam 2023 is important in seeking admission to 4-year science and engineering degree courses of institutions like NITs, IIITs, and other national-level colleges in India. On the other hand, it is also a qualifying exam to take JEE Advanced 2023.
Let’s quickly check how the process of JEE Main and JEE Advanced work:
JEE Main 2023 is the primary Admission criteria for Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, IIITs, Other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, Institutions funded by participating State Governments, and other Institutions. Paper-1 (B. E. /B. Tech.) of JEE (Main) will also be an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced) if a candidate aspires for admission to the undergraduate programs offered by the IITs.

JEE Advanced 2023
Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through the Acts of Parliament for fostering excellence in education. Over the years, IITs have created a world-class educational platform that is dynamically sustained through quality teaching and internationally acclaimed research with excellent infrastructure and the best available minds who have continued to make a considerable impact in all sections of society.
The primary objectives of IITs and ISM are as follows:
- To create an environment that encourages freedom of thought and pursuit of excellence, and inculcates the necessary vision and self-discipline to achieve excellence
- To build a solid foundation of scientific and technical knowledge and to prepare competent and motivated engineers and scientists
- To kindle an entrepreneurial spirit among the students
- To prepare the students to become outstanding professionals and contribute to nation-building
All the candidates, including foreign nationals, must fulfill each and every one of the following five criteria to appear in JEE Advanced 2023.
Criterion 1 – Performance in JEE Main 2023
Candidates should be among the top 2,00,000 (including all categories) by scoring positive marks on Paper-1 of JEE Main 2023
Criterion 2 - Age limit
