JEE examination conducted for admissions to Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) was earlier scheduled to be held on May 19th, 2019. However, the organizing authority, IIT Roorkee has informed about the latest development regarding the change in exam date due to clash with Lok Sabha election dates.

The examination will be held in India and abroad, on May 27, 2019 (Monday), in the following two shifts: Paper 1 from 9 am to 12 pm and Paper 2 from 2 pm to 5 pm.

JEE Advanced examination can be attempted by candidates who have cleared the JEE Mains and is conducted for admission for bachelor’s, integrated master’s and dual degree programmes for all IITs. As mentioned, exam consists of two papers and will be conducted in fully computer based test mode.
