After that top 2.5 lakh students clearing JEE give JEEAdvanced exam for admission in IITs. Top one lakh students who pass it get admission in IITs.
IIT colleges have different courses which are called 'branches'. Such as civil engineering, software engineering, mechanical, computer science branches etc. Students who get higher ranks are promoted for B.Tech like Software Engineering whereas lower ranked students are supposed to study branches like Mechanical, Civil.
Although the branch selection depends on the candidate, getting very good marks is very important to get admission in IITs in a branch like computer science, otherwise it becomes difficult to get admission in top IIT institutes in that branch.
What is JEE Mains?
The full form of JEE is Joint Entrance Examination .
JEE Mains is a national level entrance exam required for admission to undergraduate engineering courses like BTech and BE in NITs, IIITs and CFTI colleges.
