The JEE Mains 2026 session 1 exams are being conducted for admission to engineering courses at various colleges, such as the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), and Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs), among other colleges.

The computer-based JEE Mains 2026 is also conducted for candidates seeking admission to the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs). To get admission to BTech at IITs, candidates should have to qualify JEE Mains and then JEE Advanced.

Recently, the NIT council meeting proposed a plan for candidates seeking admission to NIT for a multiple-entry and exit policy . The proposal followed recommendations from the Ministry of Education, which states that candidates will be able to exit from one NIT and join another to complete their programmes.

“Many NITs have exit and entry formats, but exit from one NIT and entry into another NIT is not implemented yet. However, the Ministry of Education wants us to implement this,” said another source aware of the discussions.
