JEE Main Notification 2018 is out! It will be conducted by the JEE Apex Board to screen students for undergraduate engineering programmes at NITs, IITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) and institutions of the states participating in the exam system.

From last year, the states of Maharashtra, Odisha and Gujarat have also joined the examination system. Thus, JEE Main 2015 has replaced the state-level entrance exams, such as Maharashtra CET, Odisha JEE and GUJCET – for admission to the engineering institutes of these states too.

JEE Main is also the eligibility test for JEE Advanced, which leads to admission in the undergraduate programmes of the IITs or ISM Dhanbad.

JEE Main merit list or rank list gives 60% weightage to JEE Main scores and 40% weightage to the normalized marks of the 10+2 board examination
