JEE Advanced is an exam to get into India's top engineering colleges. In 2026, IIT Kanpur said 23 top IITs will take JEE Advanced scores for admission. To apply, students must first pass the JEE Advanced exam. Eligible students must do JoSAA 2026 counseling to get admitted. But IISER does not recognize JEE Advanced 2026 results.
