Below is the information released by JEE Board for JEE Advanced 2016. It includes the information about participating institutes, dates, syllabus, reservation, contact details, various certificate formats etc.
PART I: THE INSTITUTES
Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through Acts of Parliament for fostering excellence in education. Over the years, IITs have created a world class educational platform that is dynamically sustained through quality teaching and internationally acclaimed research with excellent infrastructure and the best available minds. The faculty and alumni of IITs occupy key positions in academia and industry, both in India and abroad, and continue to make a considerable impact in all sections of the Society. At present, there are eighteen IITs located across the country.
The Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, is one of the oldest institutions in India and is known for its immense contributions towards society at large, and science and technology in particular.
The primary objectives of IITs and ISM are as follows:
- To create an environment that encourages freedom of thought and pursuit of excellence, and inculcates the necessary vision and self-discipline to achieve excellence.
- To build a solid foundation of scientific and technical knowledge and to prepare competent and motivated engineers and scientists.
- To kindle an entrepreneurial spirit among the students.
- To prepare the students to become outstanding professionals and contribute to nation-building.
Admission into various undergraduate programmes (see 2. ACADEMIC PROGRAMS) across IITs and ISM is through the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced).

2. ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Through JEE (Advanced), IITs and ISM offer admission into undergraduate courses leading to a Bachelor’s, Integrated Master’s or Bachelor-Master Dual Degree in Engineering, Science, Architecture, or Pharmaceutics. Both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are awarded to candidates enrolled in the dual degree programs upon successful completion of the course curriculum. In a few of the IITs, students enrolled into the 4-year Bachelor’s program have the option to convert to B.Tech.(Honors) and/or B.Tech. with Minors. The types of academic programs offered at IITs and ISM and their minimum duration are given in the next .
The programs are credit-based and thus offer the flexibility to progress at one’s own pace. A minimum level of performance is essential for satisfactory progress. The medium of instruction is English.
All Indians and foreign nationals who satisfy the eligibility criteria (see Section 10) can appear in JEE (Advanced). The successful candidates meeting the Class XII performance criterion (see Section 25) are eligible for admission into IITs/ISM. While allotting seats, certain policies are followed depending on candidates’ category and/or nationality.

- If a Board does not give marks scored in individual subjects but gives only the aggregate marks, then the aggregate marks given by the Board will be considered as such.
- The criteria, as specified above, is applicable “in toto” to all the candidates including foreign nationals.
Regarding the cut-off marks for the top 20 percentile
