The Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is the entrance exam that is given by students who have graduated 12th standard in the science stream in order to be qualified for higher studies in the engineering field. It is considered an entry point to apply for the top engineering colleges in India, such as IITs and NITs. Since it is one of the most difficult entrance exams to give to enroll in university, it is easy to get too caught up in preparing for the exam and lose track of the application process that actually qualifies you to appear for the exam.
