Reservation and Quota System for JEE Main:
Reservation in IITs and NITs: While JEE Main is primarily used for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes), it also serves as the first stage for the JEE Advanced exam, which is the gateway to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). IITs have their own reservation policies, which include categories like General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD.
Eligibility Criteria for Reservation:
Candidates applying under reserved categories must satisfy specific eligibility
criteria, which may include income limits, caste/community certificates, and other documentation as required.
Physically Handicapped (PH) Quota: There is a reservation for PH candidates, and specific seats are reserved to accommodate their needs.
