This well-known competitive exam started attracting attention as JEE Mains April/September 2020 has been successfully conducted and its results also have been released.
JEE Advanced registration
JEE Advanced registration usually begins a few days later after the results of JEE Mains April are declared.
The situation this year too is no different, except that the JEE Advanced registration has commenced late. This is because of JEE Mains April 2020 was conducted much late.
JEE Mains usually is conducted for second time in month of April every year. However, this year it did not happen like that.
Outbreak of corona virus was chiefly responsible for that. Outbreak began about more than four months ago this year and entire nation went into a lockdown.
Initially it was thought that lockdown would be of a shorter duration. As risk of contracting the virus refused to subside lockdown had to be extended.
This left little scope for conducting JEE Mains April this year on time, so JEE Advanced registration had to be postponed subsequently.
The chief qualification for JEE Advanced registration is that applicant must be among the top 2.5 lakh rank holders in JEE Mains April 2020, since JEE Mains April could not be held in time, JEE Advanced registration also had to be delayed.
As JEE Mains April was held from 1 to 6 September this year and its results were also declared a couple of days ago doors for JEE Advanced registration have been thrown open.
JEE Advanced is conducted by an IIT every year taking turns. This year JEE Advanced is being organised by IIT Delhi.
JEE Advanced registration is open for both Indian applicants and foreign students. JEE Advanced registration for foreign candidates was open by 10 am of 5 September.
