The all-India joint entrance examination (JEE-Main) for admissions to first-year engineering courses for the academic year 2014-2015 will be held on April 6, next year.
The entrance test includes those for undergraduate engineering programmes in the National Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other centrally-funded technical institutions.
After scrapping the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET) earlier this year, Maharashtra will join the JEE for admission purpose for the first time.
The JEE will be conducted in two parts - Main (Paper I) and Advanced (Paper II). For students who wish to secure admissions into engineering colleges within the state, the marks obtained in the main paper will be considered. However, if the student qualifies for the advanced paper, the marks of the second examination will also be considered, a notification issued by DTE said.
While considering standard XII marks, the directorate will take into account marks secured in physics, chemistry and mathematics only. According to the notification, students must have a minimum score of 50% in all three subjects.
The JEE-Main exam will screen the top 1.5 lakh students who can appear for the JEE-Advanced, scheduled on May 25, 2014, for admissions to the IITs.
