Syllabus JEE 
Some of the basic differences between JEE Main and Advanced are listed below:
- Anybody who satisfies the eligibility criteria can sit for JEE Main. But, the top 150000 rankers of JEE Main are eligible to sit for JEE Advanced.
- Certain top-notch institutes like IITs and ISM Dhanbad will only pick up candidates on the basis of All India Rank (AIR) in JEE Advanced subject to the condition that such candidates feature in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards in respective categories.
- Both JEE Main and Advanced are held in two parts - Paper 1and paper 2.
- The paper 1 of JEE Main asks multiple choice questions in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Both the papers of JEE Advanced ask objective type questions from the same domains.
- Candidates have the option of attempting the paper 1 of JEE Main as a pen-paper test or an online test. But JEE Advanced does not offer any such option. Both the papers of JEE Advanced shall be paper based tests.
- The paper 2 of JEE Main is only for gaining admission into B.Arch, B.Plan program. While those interested in pursuing Architecture and Design courses in an IIT shall be required to sit for the Design Aptitude Test in a zonal IIT sometime later.
- A candidate can sit for the JEE Main a maximum of three times during his lifetime.
- A candidate can attempt JEE (Advanced) a maximum of two times in consecutive years.
