Admission to the first year of the Undergraduate Programmes leading to the degrees of B.Tech., Five-year Dual Degree Programmes and 5-year Integrated M.Tech. and M.Sc. Programmes is made through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) which is common for all the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Roorkee), Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad and the Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi.

In addition, admissions to undergraduate and five year integrated programmes in Engineering at Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) at Allahabad, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management (IIITM) at Gwalior and National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT) at Ranchi will be done through the Joint Entrance Examination 2010 (JEE-2010).

Important Points to note

• One can attempt JEE only twice, in consecutive years. That means one should have attempted JEE for the first time in 2009 or will be appearing in 2010.

• Those who have accepted admission after qualifying in JEE in earlier years by paying full fees at any of the IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi or ISM, Dhanbad, are NOT ELIGIBLE to write JEE at all irrespective of whether or not they joined in any of the programmes.

• The offer of admission is subject to verification of original certificates/ documents at the time of admission. If any candidate is found ineligible at a later date even after admission to an Institute, his/ her admission will be cancelled automatically.

• If a candidate is expecting the results of the QE in 2010, his/her admission will only be provisional until he/she submits the relevant documents. The admission stands cancelled if the documents are not submitted in original to the concerned institute before September 30,2010.

• If a Board invariably declares the results of the QE late (only after September 30, every year), the candidate is advised to attempt JEE in 2011 or later.

• The question papers for Joint Entrance Examination are in two languages viz. English and Hindi. The candidates are permitted to write the Main Examination in any one of the following languages: Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

• Candidates can opt for Question Papers either in English or in Hindi. This option should be exercised while filling the application form. It cannot be changed at any later stage. Visually impaired candidates, on request, will be provided with question papers with 20% enlarged font.

• Use of log tables and any electronic calculating aids are NOT permitted in JEE-2010
