JEE Advanced consists of two papers of three hours each, with questions from physics, chemistry and mathematics. Aggregate of marks in both question papers and individual subject marks will be taken into account to prepare a rank list.
Once the candidate appears for JEE Advanced, admission to IITs will be made on the basis of the rank list.
“Results will be declared on Monday, October 05. Category-wise All India Ranks (AIR) of successful candidates will be available through the JEE (Advanced) 2020 online portal after the results are declared. Text messages will also be sent to the candidates to their registered mobile numbers,” the IIT Delhi said in its information brochure.
“Qualifying in JEE Advanced 2020, filling up choices and/or participating in the joint seat allocation process do not guarantee a candidate to get admission in IITs. Admission will depend on the availability of seats during various rounds of seat allocation,” it added.
According to 2019 seat distribution figures by Joint Seat Allocation Authority, over 11,000 seats were offered by 23 IITs across the country.
