JEE: The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a highly competitive examination taken by about 3,20,000 students across the country out of which only 2% are admitted into IITs. Students in the following programmes are admitted through JEE:
* Bachelor of Technology
* Dual Degree (Integrated B. Tech + M. Tech)
* 5 yr. Integrated Master of Science
GATE:The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is another highly competitive examination that strives to identify, at the national level, meritorious and motivated students for admission to post graduate programmes in Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Science and Pharmacy in several colleges across the country including the IITs. GATE is conducted in 22 different disciplines and some of the disciplines see upto 40,000 test-takers every year out of which only about 300 are admitted into the IITs.
JAM: The Joint Admission to M.Sc. (JAM) test is yet another highly competitive All India Entrance Examination held in 8 different disciplines for admission into the Master of Science programmes offered by the IITs. On an average, only 4% of the aspirants are offered a seat in one of these programmes. The JAM test has become a benchmark for normalizing the undergraduate level science education in the country.
MET: TThe M.Phil Entrance Test (MET) is the entrance examination for admission to the M.Phil programmes offered by the IITs. Final admissions to the M.Phil programme are made based on the performance of the student in the entrance test and an interview conducted thereafter.

Dear IIT Aspirants
To all the aspiring young engineers in India and elsewhere, the name
Indian Institute of Technology means only one thing - the best quality,
world-class engineering education. Many students have fulfilled their
dreams of gaining admission into an IIT by traveling the path to
success through sustained, grueling intellectual hard work, regardless
of their background, status and place of origin.
Under-Graduate and Dual Degree Programmes
Each year, the prestigious and most difficult Joint Entrance
Examination (JEE), held for selecting students into the IIT system, is
attempted by over 125 thousand candidates, and there are only a few
thousand seats available in the system. Admissions to the 4-year B.Tech
programme and the 5-year dual-degree, i.e. combined B.Tech and M.Tech,
programmes are held annually. JEE consists of three test papers -
physics, chemistry and mathematics. It enjoys the reputation of being
the tough and well organized competitive examination in the world. The
questions require responses that involve intricate and creative
thought, and a sound foundation in physics, mathematics & chemistry.

Success Factors
The key to gaining admission into an IIT is to make the best use of
the resources around you. Most schools have adequate resources that can
help you build a strong intellectual foundation.
The key factors for success are
- Intelligence - numeric, logical and scientific
- Determination
- Persistence
- Intellectual Stamina
- Confidence
- Access to learning resources
- A supportive family and friends
These factors definitely enable aspirants to prepare effectively for
the JEE and eventually attain success. You may be wondering if the IITs
themselves provide any coaching. The answer to your question is No. IIT does not provide any instructions as coaching for students who will be taking JEE.
However, for students belonging to the specially notified categories
(SC/ST), a one-year preparatory programme is offered at IIT Madras. A
selected set of students from these categories who do not directly
qualify in the JEE in their first attempt, will be given an opportunity
to spend one year at IIT Madras and undergo the preparatory course.
Upon successful completion of this preparatory course, these students
will be admitted into the first year of the B Tech or Dual-degree
programmes, without having to take the JEE a second time.
Post-Graduate Programmes
For admissions into the post-graduate programmes (M.Tech., M.Sc.,
and MBA), and research programmes (M.S. and Ph.D.), the Institute uses
the results of appropriate national examinations such as the Graduate
Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), the Joint Admission Test to M.Sc.
(JAM), and the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET). Various
Departments and Centers of the Institute offer a large variety of
specialized PG programmes. for more information about these entrance exam you can visit the following link
