JEE Advanced is considered the toughest exam. After clearing the first stage i.e., JEE Main, JEE Advanced is the final step to get admission in IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology). It is not necessary who have cleared JEE Main will also be clearing JEE Advanced until they have a proper preparation strategy.
Candidates who are aiming to crack JEE Advanced 2021 must start preparing for the exam now by following few tricks:
Career Launcher has come up with a sensible and student-friendly preparation strategy for JEE Advanced 2021.
One Month Preparation Strategy for JEE Advanced 2021:
Here are some expert tips which the students can imitate for 1 month before the JEE Advanced 2021 exam.
JEE Advanced Syllabus and Exam Pattern 2021 should be at your fingertips.
Identify the important topics/chapters and make a list.
It is very important to choose the best study material.

The mechanism followed by authorities while calculating the scores of JEE Advanced 2021 is given below:
What will happen if two or more candidates score equal marks in JEE Advanced? In such a situation, the authorities will follow Tie-Breaker rules which are given below:
Candidates can refer to previous year criteria which were used to decide the inclusion of a candidate in the JEE Advanced 2020 Rank Lists.
Minimum Percentage of Marks Prescribed for Inclusion in the JEE Advanced 2020 Rank List:
Category | Minimum Percentage of Marks in Each Subject | Minimum Percentage Aggregate Marks |
Common rank list (CRL) | 5% | 17.50% |
GEN-EWS rank list | 4.50% | 15.75% |

The JEE Advanced Result is something that each aspirant eagerly awaits. It is, after all, the culmination of their efforts of the entire 2 years. This anticipation makes the JEE Advanced result extremely special.
Steps to follow to download the JEE Advanced Result from the official website
There are some details that the candidates should check on their Score Card in case there is some discrepancy. The chances of any discrepancy are minute however if there are any issues, the authorities have to be contacted at the earliest in order to sort out any confusion.
Joint Seat Allocation Authority is conducting the counselling for admission of JEE Advanced qualified candidates. Candidates have to register and select their choice of colleges and courses. JoSAA 2021 seat allotment for the three rounds have been announced on the official website.
The candidates have to register through JoSAA where allotment will be done according to the candidate’s rank, choices/preferences made and the availability of seat.
All candidates who have appeared for JEE Main are eligible to participate in seat allocation of the NIT+ system. All candidates who have qualified the JEE Advanced are eligible to register for seat allocation in all participating systems. Candidates have to log in using their JEE Main roll number and password. However, for JEE Advanced qualified students, they have to use their JEE Advanced password.
Candidates after successful registration may begin the filling of choices of the program and the Institute in decreasing order of their preference. Candidates can fill as many choices as he/she may want.
Candidates MUST "lock" their choices after filling them. For candidates who do NOT lock their choices, their last saved choices will be locked automatically when the time-window for filling-in of choices closes.
JoSAA will conduct many rounds for the allotment of seats. It will also conduct a mock round which will help student to know the possible chances of seat he is getting. Changes in order of preference are allowed after the mock round but not after the first round.
Candidates allotted a seat must download the seat allotment letter and pay the seat acceptance fee (through SBI e-Challan/SBI Net Banking/SBI debit cards) and get the documents verified at any reporting centre (josaa.nic.in) for provisional seat acceptance. The e-challan has to be downloaded and candidates have to pay Rs. 35,000 (for general category candidates) and Rs. 15,000 (for SC/ST/Gen-PwD/OBC-NCL-PwD/SC-PwD or ST-PwD).
Candidates who are allotted a seat need to visit the reporting centre for document verification. They need to bring all the original and duplicate documents as listed on website of JoSAA and download and fill all the forms and submit it at reporting centres.
A candidate is required to fill option for ‘freeze’, ‘slide’ or ‘float’ the choice of the academic program.
After each allotment of seat, candidates would have an option to freeze, float or slide.
Freeze: It means you want to continue with the option that is allotted to you.
Float: It means you have accepted the college but you want a better discipline in the same college
Slide: It means you have accepted the allotted seat but you are looking for betterment in the branch as well as college
If the candidate needs to change his selected option in any subsequent round, he has to re-visit the reporting centre and request option change among freeze, float or slide. Or else the option chosen him by in first round would be considered in all subsequent rounds.
If in a subsequent round, a candidate’s allotment from NIT+ system changes to an IIT, the candidate MUST report ONCE AGAIN at an IIT reporting centre, similarly if a candidate’s allotment from IIT changes to a NIT+ system, the candidate MUST report ONCE AGAIN at any NIT+ reporting centre, failure to do so will result in forfeiture of seats allocated in both NIT+ system and IIT.
A candidate, who has already accepted a seat, can withdraw the seat by reporting at a reporting centre up to sixth round of seat allocation.
Candidates who do NOT register within the specified time window WILL NOT be able to seek admission for this academic year.
Candidates who do NOT fill-in choices within the specified time window WILL NOT be able to seek admission for this academic year.
Two times reporting required in case of seat allotment changes from NIT+s system to IITs and vice versa. No modification of locked choices – once locked, choices CANNOT be modified.
JEE Advanced 2020 was conducted by IIT Delhi and it was conducted on 27th September, 2020. The computer-based exam was conducted in two phases i.e. Paper - 1 (9 am to 12 pm) and Paper - 2 (2:30 pm to 5:30 pm) and the results of JEE Advanced was announced on 5th October 2020.

Performance in JEE Main 2021
Candidates who fall among the top 2,50,000 rankers in JEE Main 2021 across all categories are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2021.
The percentages of various categories of candidates to be shortlisted are: 10% for GEN-EWS, 27% seats for OBC-NCL, 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST and the remaining 40.5% is OPEN for all.
PwD - 5% horizontal reservation in all categories.
Age Limit
Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1996. Five years relaxation is given to SC, ST and PwD candidates.
Number of Attempts
From 2021, maximum number of attempts that the candidates can attempt JEE Advanced is three times in three consecutive years.
Earlier Admission at IITs/ISM
Year of Passing Class XII
Note: Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ has scrapped 75% eligibility criteria in class 12 (for reserved category, it was 65%) from JEE Advanced and allowed third attempt for it. He allowed JEE Main 2020 qualified candidates who were unable to appear for the second stage of the examination due to the COVID-19 pandemic to directly participate in JEE Advanced 2021.
All 23 IITs are JEE Advanced participating institutes. Admission will be through online, centralised counselling which will be organised by JoSAA.
