No hope is lost if one opts out to not appear for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) – Advanced, as JEE main scores are also being accepted by other top ranking colleges across India.
While Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are considered to be premier and most sought-after when it comes to studying engineering, there are other options students can explore. Some of them are ranked among the best in the world and all of them accept admissions based on JEE main score.
Although, some institutes like Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) and Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) have their own entrance exam and may not consider JEE main as their primary mode for enrolling students.
