3 MINS READThe Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is one of India’s most competitive exams. Each year, upwards of a million students attempt it, all in the hopes of getting into some of India’s most prestigious engineering colleges. The most prominent of these, of course, are the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Getting into an IIT, however, is a Herculean task. While the number of IITs has risen from 5 to 23, there are still only around 11,000 seats up for grabs in total. Only around 1.1% of JEE aspirants, therefore, actually make it into these hallowed institutions.
