The performance of a candidate in JEE (Advanced) 2023 will form the basis for admission to the Bachelors, Integrated Masters, and Dual Degree programs (entry at the 10+2 level), mentioned in clause 2, in all the IITs in the academic year 2023-24. The decisions of JAB 2023 will be final in all matters related to JEE (Advanced) 2023 and admission to IITs in the academic year 2023-24.

Schedule of Jee (Advanced) 2023

The examination consists of two papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2) of three hours duration each. Appearing in both the papers is compulsory. The examination schedule is as follows. 

It may be noted that the examination date will remain unchanged even if it is declared a public holiday.

PwD candidates having disabilities with at least 40% impairment as applicable, are eligible for one hour compensatory time for each paper (i.e. for these candidates the end time will be 13:00 IST for Paper 1 and 18:30 IST for Paper 2). 

All the candidates must simultaneously fulfil each and every one of the following five criteria to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2023.

Criterion 1 – Performance in JEE (Main) 2023:

Candidates should be among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates (including all categories) in B.E./B.Tech. paper of JEE (Main) 2023. The percentages of various categories of candidates to be shortlisted are: 10% for GEN-EWS, 27% for OBC-NCL, 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST, and the remaining 40.5% is OPEN for all. Within each of these five categories, 5% horizontal reservation is available for PwD candidates.

Criterion 2 – Age Limit:

Criterion 3 – Number of Attempts:

A candidate can attempt JEE (Advanced) maximum of two times in two consecutive years. 

Criterion 4 – Appearance in Class XII (or equivalent) examination*:

Candidates who had appeared in Class XII (or equivalent) examination for the first time in 2021 or earlier, are NOT eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2023, irrespective of the combination of subjects attempted/offered.

* By appearance in Class XII (or equivalent) examination, it is meant that the Board concerned declared the result for that year irrespective of whether or not examination was conducted. It will be considered as an appearance even if the result of a particular candidate got withheld. 

However, if the examination Board of Class XII (or equivalent) declared the results for the academic year 2020-21 on or after October 25, 2021, then the candidates of that Board who appeared for their Class XII (or equivalent) examination in 2021 are also eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2023, provided they meet all the other eligibility criteria. In case the examination Board of Class XII (or equivalent) declared the results for the academic year 2020-21 before October 25, 2021 but the result of a particular candidate was withheld, then the candidate will not be eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2023.

Criterion 5 – Earlier admission at IITs:

A candidate should NOT have been admitted to an IIT irrespective of whether or not the candidate continued in the program OR accepted an IIT seat by reporting “online” / at a “reporting centre” in the past. Candidates whose admission to IITs was cancelled (for whatever reason) after joining any IIT are also NOT eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2023. Candidates who have been admitted to a preparatory course in any of the IITs for the first time in 2022 can appear in JEE (Advanced) 2023. 

The candidates who were allocated a seat in an IIT through JoSAA 2022 but

• did not report “online” / at any “reporting centre” OR,
• withdrew before the last round of seat allotment, OR,
• had their seat cancelled (for whatever reason) before the last round of seat allotment for IITs, are eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2023.

The JEE Advanced test board announces the course material. As is well known, there are various changes to the JEE Advanced 2023 syllabus from the previous year.

When preparing for the IIT JEE, students must select the best and most appropriate books. Throughout the preparations, they should be with them. For related themes, avoid consulting many books, as this can cause concepts to become muddled. Make a study plan that takes into account your skills and weaknesses, divide your preparation time fairly, and allow yourself enough time to finish the entire syllabus.
