Through JEE (Advanced), IITs offer admission into undergraduate courses leading to a Bachelor’s, Integrated Master’s or Bachelor-Master Dual Degree in Engineering, Sciences or Architecture. Both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are awarded to candidates enrolled in the dual degree programs upon successful completion of the course curriculum. In some of the IITs, students enrolled into the 4-year Bachelor’s program have the option to pursue B.Tech. (Honors) and/or B.Tech. with Minors. Dual Degree students may also pursue a Minor. Further, in some IITs B.Tech. students also have the option to pursue Interdisciplinary Dual Degree, with Bachelors in parent Department and Masters in some other Department. All the above options require fulfilment of certain academic performance related criteria.

However, not all the listed programs and courses are available in all the institutes. The programmes that will be offered in 2025 will be announced by JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) at the time of seat allocation (i.e., at the stage of filling-in of choices for admission).

Other institutes accepting JEE (Advanced) : Other institutes which have used JEE-Advanced ranks in the past include the following :

Preparatory courses : The seats reserved for SC, ST and PwD candidates which remain vacant will be allotted to the candidates of respective categories for admission to a preparatory course of 1-year duration on the basis of relaxed admission criteria (see prospectus Clause 22. RANK LISTS).

Admission is given to the candidates in the preparatory course provided (i) the seats reserved for the respective category are vacant, (ii) candidates satisfy minimum norms, and (iii) candidates have not accepted a seat in the preparatory course earlier.

Selected IITs will run preparatory courses of one-year duration for SC, ST and PwD candidates intended to prepare them to pursue the academic program (for Academic Year 2026-27) to which they have been allocated. At the end of this course, candidates are declared as ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. The institute at which one-year preparatory course is run for a candidate may be different from the institute allocated to the candidate for their academic program.

On successful completion of the course, the candidates will be offered direct admission in 2026 (Academic Year 2026-27) to the already allotted undergraduate course at the originally allocated IIT.

Candidates admitted to the preparatory course in 2025 are eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2026 subject to fulfilling other eligibility criteria.

Filling-in of choices for preparatory courses is through the same JoSAA online portal.
