Shiksha launches JEE Main 2018 Rank Predictor Tool
Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2026 ( JEE Main )
Exam On - 21 Jan '26 - 30 Jan '26
JEE Main 2018
offline (pen & paper) exam is being conducted on April 8, while the online exam is scheduled for April 15 and 16. Conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the exam is a gateway for admissions to undergraduate engineering programmes offered by NITs (National Institutes of Technology), IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology), other CFTIs (Centrally Funded Technical Institutions).
The exam is spread over two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2. While Paper 1 (9:30 am to 12:30 pm) is for BE/BTech aspirants, Paper 2 (2 pm to 5 pm) will be conducted for BArch/ BPlan courses.
Once the exam is over, students would be curious to predict their JEE Main ranks based on their expected scores in the exam. The next step after this would be to shortlist colleges that they would like to get admitted to. To help students through this phase, Shiksha has launched a simple, useful and easy to use JEE Main Rank Predictor Tool.
The tool aims to help engineering aspirants forecast their JEE Main 2018 ranks on the basis of their expected or actual score. Besides predicting ranks, this tool will also help students shortlist colleges and engineering specialisations they would be eligible for on the basis of their ranks. Through Shiksha’s JEE Main Rank Predictor Tool, students will also be informed about round-wise cut-offs of engineering colleges required for admissions to preferred specialization.
