However, merely qualifying in these examinations does not guarantee admission in any of the Institute.Each Institute / academic program has additional eligibility requirements which candidates have to satisfy to get admission. Those qualifying in JEE (Advanced) are eligible for admission to IITs.
It is important for candidates to prioritize the academic programs while filling in the choices as only ONE seat from the choices filled is made available.
