JEE Advanced is considered universally as one of the most challenging undergraduate admission tests.

In 2012, the government-run CBSE that earlier conducted the AIEEE declared the JEE that replaced the AIEEE and IIT-JEE. The JEE-Main is for admission to the National Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Information Technology, and some other colleges designated as centrally funded technical institutes. The JEE Advanced is to get the admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology. Only the students selected in JEE Main are qualified for appearing in JEE Advanced. About 224,000 students will be selected from 2018.

There are different institutes like the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, and the Indian Institute of Science which use the marks obtained in JEE Advanced as the basis for admission. These are not participating institutes of central IIT JEE Advanced counselling of which all IITs are members. Any student who takes admission to IITs cannot appear for the JEE-Advanced examination in the next year, but the same is not the case with IISER, RGIPT, IISc and other institutes as these institutes only use JEE Advanced mark for admission.

In 2013, the IIT Council confirmed the decision of the Joint Admission Board to continue with the two-phase JEE pattern (Main and Advanced) for IITs in 2014.
