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

 

JEE Main 2018 Application Form

The JEE Mains notification specifically states that students can only apply for the 2018 exam online. The online application process has been started from December 1st, 2017. The last date for online application form submission for JEE Main will be January 1st, 2017.

Since the eligibility criteria for JEE Main and JEE Advanced are different, students should check whether they are eligible for both the exams or not – if they are targeting IITs.

To help JEE aspirants, JEE Main secretariat will set up facilitation centres all over India which will help students fill up online application form for free. The list of these facilitation centres can be found in the JEE Main information bulletin as well as on its official website.
