Physics and Chemistry are core subjects for JEE Main and JEE Advanced if you're going for engineering. They're also needed for NEET UG if you want to explore medical, and some programs through CUET UG might ask for them too.
JEE Main is the major exam for engineering colleges. You can also explore BITSAT, JEE Advanced if you clear JEE Main, and some universities have their own entrance exams. If you're interested in other fields like commerce or arts, there are exams for those too.
IIT Bombay accepts JEE Advanced for engineering programs and a design entrance exam for B.Des.

After JEE Main results, you'll get your rank and score. Top performers qualify for JEE Advanced (for IITs). Most students then participate in counseling for NITs, IIITs, and other government colleges through JoSAA. The exact timeline and process comes out after results are declared.
JEE Main is 3 hours long, split into two sessions if you're taking both papers on the same day. JEE Advanced is also 3 hours per paper.
Most students start JEE prep in 11th grade, but honestly it depends on your pace and where you're starting from. If you're strong in fundamentals, you can begin anytime; if not, starting early gives you breathing room. Focus on understanding concepts first, then move to problem-solving.
IITs only admit through JEE Advanced, not JEE Main directly. You'd first need to clear JEE Main and rank in the top 2,50,000, then qualify JEE Advanced. The exact score needed depends on your rank and the specific IIT and branch you're aiming for.
JEE Main requires you to score at least 75% in your 12th board exams, or be in the top 20% of your board. JEE Advanced has its own rules based on your Main performance.
To get into an IIT, you'll need to crack JEE Main first, then score well enough to qualify for JEE Advanced, where the real competition happens. Once you have your rank, I can show you which IITs you're eligible for based on your score.
JEE Main is the national engineering entrance exam. You need to crack it first to get into NITs, IITs, and other top engineering colleges. JEE Advanced is tougher and comes after Main, only for those aiming for IITs. Both are run by the National Testing Agency.
That depends on what you want to study. Engineering needs JEE Main or JEE Advanced. Medicine needs NEET. General degrees need CUET. Commerce has their own entrance exams too. What stream are you leaning towards?
If coding is your thing, Science with a focus on Computer Science or Engineering is your best bet. You'd typically take JEE Main or JEE Advanced after Class 12 to get into top engineering colleges. Explore the exams and colleges to see what aligns with your goals.
