IIT JEE Advanced 2025: The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) has announced that the JEE Advanced 2025 exam will be held on Sunday, May 18, 2025. This engineering entrance exam serves as a pathway for admission to Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programs offered by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The JEE Advanced 2025 will comprise two papers: Paper 1, scheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM IST, and Paper 2, from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM IST. The detailed schedule, including registration dates and admit card release timelines, will be available on the official JEE Advanced website, jeeadv.ac.in, which will also provide step-by-step guidance on the application and examination process.
IIT Kanpur is expected to begin the application process for JEE Advanced 2025 in April 2025. Only candidates who qualify in the JEE Main exam will be eligible to apply for JEE Advanced. The Joint Admission Board (JAB) has recently reverted to its earlier eligibility guidelines for the number of attempts allowed for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced. This comes after a temporary decision to increase the number of attempts from two to three for this year.
