The Indian Institute of Technology are among India’s most prestigious institutions offering engineering and technological education of internationally recognized standard of excellence. The environment at these institutions is highly conductive for:

• Development of solid foundation of knowledge and personality.
• Confidence building.
• Pursuit of excellence and self discipline.
• Enhancement of creativity through motivation and drive, which helps to produce professionals well trained for the rigorous of the job/society.

The seven IITs at Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mumbai and Roorkee, IT-BHU at Varanasi and ISM at Dhanbad offer courses leading to Bachelor’s Degree in a number of engineering, technological and scientific disciplines. M.Sc. integrated course in pure and applied science and M.Tech. integrated courses in a few disciplines are also offered by some of these institutes. In addition, some IITs offer dual-degree M.Tech. programme wherein at the end of the programme, both B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees are awarded to the successful candidates.

IIT JEE is an examination with difference. All it requires is a proper examination temperament and different approach to the subject than most of the other exams.

From the year 1999 - 2000 a new pattern has been introduced for IIT JEE. This new pattern consists of two stages.

STAGE-I :

This stage has a screening paper of three hours, on second Sunday of December every year (This year its on 9th December). Screening test will contain 105 objective type questions, 35 each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

STAGE-II :

i.e. the main examination which probably be conducted on 1st or 2nd Sunday of May of the following year. Only those students who clear the screening paper (Stage-I exam) are allowed to sit for this exam. Main paper will have 3 session of 2 hrs. each on Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics. All the three exams will be held on a single day.

Candidates can opt for question papers either in English or in Hindi. The candidates are permitted to write answers in the Main Examination in any one of the following languages: Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

It's a highly competitive examination. About 1.2 lacs students sit for screening examination and 15000 will be selected for the mains. Finally 3200 will be listed for IIT and other allied colleges, including BHU, ISM Dhanbad & TS Chankya Institute of Marine Engineering.

What is needed for IIT JEE is planned, analytical approach which develops knowledge of the subject besides the problem solving skills to have an optimum success.
