It varies by exam and state. JEE counseling usually starts in June, NEET in July, and CUET follows its own timeline. The exact dates depend on which entrance exam you're preparing for.

College allocation after JEE Main happens through counselling, where you choose colleges and programs based on your rank and available seats. Each state and category has different rounds, so the exact process varies. UniTracko can walk you through how it works for your situation.

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.
