Earlier admission at IITs
1. A candidate should NOT have been admitted to an IIT under any academic program that is listed in JoSAA Business Rules of 2025, irrespective of whether or not the candidate continued in the program OR accepted an IIT seat by reporting “online” / at a “reporting centre” in the past. Candidates whose admission to IITs was cancelled (for whatever reason) after joining any IIT are also NOT eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2026.
2. Candidates who have been admitted to a preparatory course in any of the IITs for the first time in 2025 can appear in JEE (Advanced) 2026.

STUDY TIPS
Preparing for an exam like JEE Advanced requires dedication, determination and the right approach only deciding factor for the selection or rejection of a candidate is the Strategy & Planning which is used by them for their preparation for the JEE Advanced Examination. A good and result-oriented Strategy & Planning for the examination will definitely allow the candidates to make their way through JEE Advanced Examination. The foremost step in planning involves preparing a study plan based on the syllabus.
1. Get aware of the types of Questions:- You should be aware of the type of questions being asked. You should plan your preparation according to the type of questions being asked and its difficulty level.
2. Clear Basic Concepts:- Do not leave any topic in your preparation. Always clear your concepts of each topic.
3. Manage Time Properly:- When preparing for a JEE you should not spend time unnecessarily but treat it properly. Try to analyze the useless activities you spend your time on. Once you've done that you can then create an appropriate study schedule. With just the right timetable, you can read the entire syllabus and make updates.
4. Prepare Your Own Study Methods:- You are the best person to design your own methods and practices for advanced JEE preparation. Make it possible and use the same to capture all the ideas. Should any confusion arise, clear it immediately with an expert.
5. Frequently Asked Questions:- Look for the most frequently asked questions from all the sections and attack on them first. This will make you well versed in repeating questions.
6. Do Not Attempt Anything Unfamiliar:- While preparing, do not try to start with something which you are totally unfamiliar with. This will lead to stress and demotivation.
7. Diligent Practice: Taking JEE Advanced previous year tests regularly is a must. Be focused and confident while taking them.
