IIT JEE, or the Joint Entrance Examination, is a highly competitive national-level entrance test in India for students aspiring to pursue undergraduate engineering programs. It is divided into two main phases: JEE Main<\/a> and JEE Advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IIT JEE Study Material and Books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Structure of the Exam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. JEE Main<\/strong>: This is the first phase and serves as a qualifying exam for JEE Advanced<\/a>. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in an online format, typically held twice a year\u2014in January and April. Candidates who score well in JEE Main can qualify for JEE Advanced, which is necessary for IIT admissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. JEE Advanced<\/strong>: This phase is more challenging and is exclusively for candidates who qualify in JEE Main. It determines admission to the IITs and is known for its rigorous testing of problem-solving skills and analytical abilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT)<\/strong>: For those interested in pursuing architecture, this test is conducted after qualifying JEE Advanced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
