The JEE Advanced 2021 is an eligibility test for admission to UG Engineering programmes to 23 IITs in India. IIT Kharagpur will hold the exam on July 3 Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ said on January 7. IIT Kharagpur is the organising institute this year. Last year it was IIT Delhi. The Joint Admission Board had earlier decided to allow candidates who qualified for the JEE Advanced in 2020 but couldn’t appear for JEE Advanced exam in 2021 to take the exam without having to take the JEE Main exam.
The candidates who will appear in JEE Advanced 2021 are going to increase due to this. Thus, the capping of 2.5 lakh deems removed. This is to ensure all the deserving candidates get a chance to secure admissions in IITs. Details regarding the entrance exam will be made available soon at jeeadv.ac.in

Eligibility Criteria
The Centre has also removed the criteria of a minimum of 75% marks given the COVID-19 pandemic for JEE advanced exam. In 2020, to appear for JEE Advanced, the candidates had to fit into all of these criteria (minus a year). If this is carried forward, here’s the eligibility criterion for JEE Advanced 2021.
First: Candidates should have compulsorily passed JEE Main 2021 (Paper 1). It is also necessary for them to be among the top 2,50,000 candidates
Second: For JEE Advanced 2021, the candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1996. However, SC, ST and PwD candidates will get a relaxation of 5 years (born on or after October 1, 1991).
Third: Candidates can attempt JEE Advanced maximum two times in two consecutive years.
Fourth: All candidates should have qualified the 10+2 examination in 2020 or 2021 for the first time. However, if the result is declared for the academic year 2018-19 after June 2019, then the candidates of that board who appeared for their 12th standard qualifying exam in 2019 will also be termed eligible for JEE Advanced 2021 if they also meet the other eligibility criteria.
