Every student aspiring to study engineering or basic science dreams of admission to IIT. Many students left the dreams of IIT admissions after getting fewer scores in JEE Main or Advanced. However, there are ways to get admission without JEE, which we have elaborated on in this article.
No, the exam dates for the JEE Main 2026 examination has not been announced yet. However, as per the official notification, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the JEE Mains 2026 exam in two sessions, one in January 2026 and second in April 2026.

Students aspiring to get admission to IITs can get a seat through GATE. This is the exam for admission in M.Tech, integrated M.Tech-Phd and Phd courses in engineering and its allied disciplines. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and the seven Indian Institutes of Technology at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee. Qualifying in GATE is a mandatory requirement for seeking admission and/or financial assistance to Master’s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Science, in IITs and other institutions supported by the MHRD/other Government agencies.
The GATE examination is conducted in 25 disciplines from engineering and basic sciences. Students can select a discipline of his/her interest based on their specialization in an undergraduate program. The exam is objective with 65 MCQs of three hours duration.
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a computer based test for admission to a graduate management program. The test consists of three sections Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) and Quantitative Ability (QA). Overall it’s a three hour online exam divided into one hour for each section. The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) started this exam and used the test for selecting students for their business administration programs (MBA or PGDM). The test is conducted every year by one of the IIMs based on a policy of rotation. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) use the CAT scores to select students for their management programmes. Earlier admission in management programs at IITs was through the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) which was discontinued in 2012.
The Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. (JAM) is an admission test conducted every year for admission into Master of Science (M.Sc.) and other post-graduate science programs at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore), Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER, Bhubaneswar), National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and other institutes.
Students can get admission in M.Sc, Joint M.Sc-Ph.D, M.Sc-Ph.D Dual Degree programmes at the IITs.

The curricula for these programmes are designed to provide opportunities for the students to develop academic talent leading to a challenging and rewarding professional life.
JAM is conducted for a total of 7 disciplines which include Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematical Statistics, Geology, Biological Science, and Biotechnology. The test is conducted online of three hours duration with 60 MCQ questions.
CSIR NET is an exam to provide research fellowships for training under the expert guidance of faculty members and scientists working in IITs/ University Department/ National Laboratories and other Institutions in various fields of Science. This Test also determines the eligibility of candidates for Lectureship/Assistant Professor in Indian Universities/Colleges. Those who qualify for JRF are eligible for Lectureship/Assistant Professor also, subject to fulfilling the eligibility criteria laid down by UGC. Some aspirants are declared successful in eligibility for Lectureship/Assistant Professor only based on their performance in the test.

Hello
Here is the short guidance for you to score well and prepare for JEE
Stick to a smart routine – Prioritize high-weightage topics and revise daily with a focused timetable.
Solve PYQs & mock tests – Practice like it’s the real thing; analyze mistakes without panic.
Quality over quantity – Understand concepts deeply rather than rushing through chapters.
Stay healthy & rested – Your brain needs sleep, water, and breaks to perform at its best.
Trust your journey – Stay calm, believe in your preparation, and avoid comparing with others.
Hello
Since you’re reappearing for your Class 12 boards in 2026, that will be counted as your official passing year. So, you will be eligible to write JEE Advanced in 2026 and 2027. Although you submitted the boards in 2025, that attempt won’t be considered due to the compartment. JEE Advanced rules allow 2 attempts in 2 consecutive years after passing 12th. So you still have both chances left, which is great! Just make sure you meet the other eligibility conditions too. Keep your focus strong, you’ve got this!

Thank you
Hello aspirant,
Start with NCERT in every subject for JEE Main. For physics, use H.C. Verma and D.C. Pandey; for chemistry, use R.C. Mukherjee and O.P. Tandon; and for mathematics, use R.D. Sharma or Cengage. J.D. Lee assists with inorganic chemistry, while Morrison & Boyd assists with organic chemistry. Practice chapter-by-chapter Arihant or MTG past year's papers. For efficient preparation, concentrate on clear concepts, frequent revision, and passing practice exams.
Thank you
Hello,
Generally an income certificate isn't required for the JEE Main registration, but if you want to claim the EWS quota, then you need this. You must provide the certificate, issued by a government authority, as proof of your family's income being below the specified limit for the reservation category you wish to apply under.
I hope it will clear your query!!
