The JEE 2013 will be held in two parts — JEE (Main) (to be held on 7th April 2013) and JEE (Advanced) (to be held on 2nd June 2013).

• Admissions to NITs, IIITs, deemed universities and other central funded technical institutions will be made based on JEE (Main) merit list instead of AIEEE merit list.
• Admissions to the IITs will be made on the basis of JEE (Advanced) merit list instead of IIT-JEE.

The Union ministry of HRD has given the responsibility of conducting the new JEE to the CBSE. The JEE (Main) merit list will be prepared after giving 40 per cent weightage for 10+2 marks, which means only 60 per cent of the performance in JEE (Main) will be taken into account.
