JEE Advanced

The vacant seats reserved for SC, ST and PwD candidates are allotted to the candidates of respective categories for admission to a preparatory course of one-year duration on the basis of relaxed admission criteria .

Admission is given to the candidates in the preparatory course provided

(i) the seats reserved for the respective category are vacant,

(ii) candidates have not accepted a seat in the preparatory course earlier.

All the IITs run preparatory courses of one year duration for SC, ST and PwD candidates intended to prepare them to pursue the academicprogrammeto which they have been allocated. At the end of this course, candidates are declared as ‘pass’ or ‘fail’.

On successful completion of the course, the candidates are offered direct admission next year to the already allotted undergraduate course.

Candidates admitted to the preparatory course are also eligible to appear in next JEE (Advanced) subject to fulfilling other eligibility criteria.

Within the rank range of up to 5000, a student with such a rank can potentially secure admission to the following top branches in various IITs:

• For Computer Science Engineering: IIT Hyderabad, IIT BHU (Banaras Hindu University), and IIT Ropar. For Electrical Engineering: IIT Hyderabad, IIT Roorkee, and IIT BHU.
• For Mechanical Engineering: IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, and IIT Roorkee.

It's important to note that these are examples based on the general trends, and specific admission outcomes may vary depending on factors such as the availability of seats, the preferences of other candidates, and the year's cutoff ranks. It's recommended to refer to official sources or previous year's cutoffs for more accurate and up-to-date information on admission possibilities for a given rank range.
