Hii,

Below are the some specific points which specifies some differences between jee mains and jee advance.

# Conducting authorities

Both these exams are conducted by 2 different bodies.

IIT JEE Main is conducted by NTA twice a year for colleges like NITs, CFTIs, IIITs and other engineering colleges.

Whereas IIT JEE Advanced is conducted IITs themselves for admission into all the IITs in the country

Both the exams are related to each other.

To appear for JEE Advanced a candidate must appear for JEE Main.

Even though both the exams are for Engineering there are some significant differences between them.

# No. of attempts

The number of times a student can attempt JEE Main is fixed.

He/she can give this exam 6 times in 3 consecutive years.

While, a student can appear in JEE Advanced Exam for maximum of 2 times and that too in the consecutive years.

# Admission granted

After clearing jee mains one gets qualified for advanced and in the basis of the rank and score one get in advance they will get admission in most prestigious institutions of our country like in IIT,NIT ,IIIT and IISC.

However on the basis of jee main some private and government colleges of state offeres admission in engineering colleges.

# Difficulty level

Advance  is consider as more difficult than mains.

However everything seems difficult until or unless not get attempted..


Hope this will help you,

All the very best !!
