JEE was introduced by CBSC replacing IIT and AIEEE in the year 2012. The exam is conducted in two parts namely JEE Mains and JEE Advanced for students who wish to get admission in best engineering colleges. Candidates seeking admission in colleges like Indian Institute o Technology and Indian School of Mines in Dhanbad do appear for the JEE Advanced test. While again candidates who appear for JEE Mains aim to get admission in colleges like Indian Institute of Information Technology, National Institutes of Technology, Central Funded Technical Institute and IIEST Shibpur.

Every year many candidates appear for the JEE tests to get into their dream college.
