JEE Advanced 2025: Registration Opens April 23 – Mark Your Calendar
IIT Kanpur has officially announced that the JEE Advanced 2025 registration window for Indian nationals opens on April 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM IST and slams shut on May 2, 2025, at 11:59 PM IST. If you’re among the top 2.5 lakh candidates who crushed JEE Main 2025, this is your shot at the IITs. Foreign nationals and OCI/PIO (F) candidates are already in the game—registration for them started on April 7, 2025.
Miss the fee payment deadline by May 5, 2025, and you’re out of luck. The application fee is set at ₹1,600 for female, SC, ST, and PwD candidates, while others fork out ₹3,200. You can pay through the SBI MOPS page on the registration portal. Check the official site for all the nitty-gritty: jeeadv.ac.in.
Exam Date and Schedule: May 18, 2025
The big day is May 18, 2025, when JEE Advanced 2025 will test your mettle in two mandatory papers. Here’s how it breaks down:
- Paper 1: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM IST
- Paper 2: 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM IST
Each paper’s a three-hour grind covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, delivered in computer-based test (CBT) mode across 222 cities in India and two abroad. PwD candidates with at least 40% disability get compensatory time, so make sure to flag that during registration. The syllabus is out, so start prepping with the official PDF on the JEE Advanced website.
Admit cards drop from May 11 to May 18, 2025 (until 2:30 PM). You’ll need your registration number, date of birth, and mobile number to download it from jeeadv.ac.in. Provisional answer keys will follow the post-exam, letting you gauge your performance before the results.
Eligibility: Who Can Apply?
Before you dive into the application, make sure you tick these boxes:
- JEE Main 2025 Performance: You must be among the top 2.5 lakh candidates in JEE Main 2025 (B.E./B.Tech. Paper 1).
- Class 12 Boards: Must have appeared for Class 12 (or equivalent) in 2024 or 2025 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
- Age Limit: Born on or after October 1, 2000 (general category); SC, ST, and PwD candidates get a five-year relaxation.
- Attempts: Two attempts max in consecutive years. Exception: Candidates who dropped out between November 5–18, 2024, get a third shot, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling.
- IIT Admission History: No prior admission to an IIT via JoSAA 2024, and canceled admissions disqualify you.
Double-check the eligibility criteria on the official brochure at jeeadv.ac.in to avoid surprises.

What’s Next? AAT and JoSAA Counselling
If you’re eyeing a B.Arch program, the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) 2025 is your next hurdle. Registration opens June 2, 2025, and closes June 3, 2025, with the test on June 5, 2025, and results out on June 8, 2025. Only JEE Advanced qualifiers can apply.
Clear JEE Advanced? You’ll move to JoSAA counselling, tentatively starting June 3, 2025, for IIT and NIT+ institute admissions. Keep an eye on josaa.nic.in for the schedule.
Prep Smart, Stay Focused
