Classes + MCQs
Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main) comprises of two papers. Paper 1 is conducted for admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, IIITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) and Institutions / Universities funded / recognized by participating State Governments. Courses to which JEE(Main) Paper 1 is considered are: B.Tech, M.Tech (Integrated), M.Sc., B.Pharm. JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test for JEE (Advanced), which is conducted for admission to IITs.
JEE (Main) Paper 2 is conducted for admission to B. Arch and B. Planning courses in the country.
JEE (Main) is conducted in 02 (two) sessions for admission in the next academic session. The first session is usually conducted in the 4th week of January and the 2nd session is usually conducted in the 1st week of April. Students can take JEE in one or both the sessions. When they take JEE in both sessions, the best of Marks obtained will be considered for awarding the ranks.
Students can appear for JEE Main for three consecutive years (6 total attempts, 2 per year) following their 12th board exams.
The JEE (Main) is being conducted in the following modes:
Drawing from the National Education Policy (NEP), the JEE (Main) - 2026 will be conducted in thirteen languages i.e. English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.

For appearing in the JEE (Main) there is no age limit for the candidates. However, the candidates may be required to fulfil the age criteria of the Institute(s) to which they are desirous of taking admission.
a) Qualifying Examinations (QE) : To be eligible for JEE Main , candidates must have passed the Class 12 or equivalent exam or be appearing in current year. Mandatory subjects include Physics, Mathematics, and one of Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational subject. There is no minimum percentage for JEE Main, but a 75% score (65% for SC/ST) is required for admission to IITs/NITs/IIITs
JEE Main State Quota (Home State - HS) eligibility is primarily based on the state where a candidate passed their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination, regardless of their domicile or permanent residence. Students who pass Class 12 from a specific state are eligible for ~50% reserved seats in NITs and other participating institutes located within that state.
JEE Main central Quota eligibility for NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs requires Indian nationality and valid category certificates (OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST, PwD) based on central government lists. Key requirements include a 40%+ disability for PwD, an income below ₹8 lakh for EWS/OBC-NCL, and a 12th-class passing certificate (or appearing). Reservation applies to 15% (SC), 7.5% (ST), 27% (OBC-NCL), 10% (GEN-EWS), and 5% (PwD) of seats.
The Cities where the JEE (Main) – 2026 Session 1 will be conducted are given in Appendix -VI. While applying, candidates can select up to a maximum of four cities of their choice within the States provided in their Present and Permanent Address.
i.e. NITs, IIEST, IIITs (Triple-ITs), and Other-GFTIs participating through JoSAA /CSAB

The I-WIN Learning Model The I-WIN methodology follows a continuous improvement cycle:
This structured approach ensures that students not only learn concepts but also develop the ability to apply them effectively in competitive examinations.
The I-WIN Learning Portal is a powerful digital platform designed to support self-learning, assessment, and performance monitoring.
It enables students to learn concepts thoroughly, practice extensively, and continuously track their progress.
• Topic-wise strengths and weaknesses
• Accuracy analysis
• Speed and time management metrics
• Comparison with peer performance
Classes + MCQs
Test + Analysis
Revision + Doubts
The effectiveness of the I-WIN System is reflected in the success of its students. A significant percentage of students who adopted the I-WIN System have secured admission to reputed engineering colleges across India, demonstrating the strength of its structured preparation methodology.
