Hello,

In addition to JEE Main 2026, students should strongly consider sitting for JEE Advanced and key private university exams like BITSAT, VITEEE, and SRMJEEE. State-level entrance exams in various states are also valuable, especially if aiming for colleges within your home state.

I hope it will clear your query!!

If you are preparing for JEE Main 2026 , you can also try a few other good exams that open more options for engineering admission. Here are some worth considering:

  1. JEE Advanced – If you qualify JEE Main, you can appear for JEE Advanced for admission to IITs.

  2. BITSAT – For admission to BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses.

  3. VITEEE – Conducted by VIT University for admission to VIT campuses.

  4. SRMJEEE – For admission to SRM Institute of Science and Technology.

  5. MET (Manipal Entrance Test) – For admission to Manipal University.

  6. COMEDK UGET – For admission to many private engineering colleges in Karnataka.

  7. WBJEE, MHT CET, KCET, AP EAMCET, TS EAMCET – State-level exams for admission to government and private colleges in respective states.

  8. CUET-UG (for B.Tech in some universities) – Some central and private universities offer B.Tech through CUET scores.

Try to attempt at least JEE Advanced, BITSAT, and one state exam along with JEE Main. These give you multiple good backup options.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

If you’re preparing for JEE Main 2026, there are several other exams you can consider that align with your preparation and open good opportunities:

JEE Advanced – For admission to IITs (if you qualify JEE Main cutoff).

BITSAT – Conducted by BITS Pilani for B.E. programs; similar syllabus to JEE.

VITEEE – For admission to VIT campuses (Vellore, Chennai, etc.).

SRMJEEE – For SRM Institute of Science and Technology.

COMEDK UGET – For engineering colleges in Karnataka.

WBJEE / MHT CET / AP EAMCET / TS EAMCET – If you belong to respective states.

These exams are worth trying since they follow similar patterns and can give you multiple college options apart from NITs.


Hope you understand.
