Introduction to JEE Main and New Opportunities



JEE Main 2026 Overview: The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is a crucial test held across India for students seeking admission to engineering programs. Each year, the top 2.5 lakh candidates qualify for JEE Advanced, which is essential for entering the esteemed IITs. The competition is intense, with countless students taking the JEE Main after completing their 12th grade. However, a significant change has emerged: students can now enroll in engineering courses right after finishing their 10th grade, thanks to the introduction of a 6-year engineering program.


B.Tech Course Launch by DESU

New B.Tech Program:
The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DESU) has initiated a B.Tech course tailored for students who have completed their 10th grade. This innovative program lasts six years, allowing students to gain admission immediately after their 10th-grade exams. Upon successful completion, they will receive a B.Tech degree.


According to DESU Vice-Chancellor Ashok Nagawat, the university previously offered a standard 4-year B.Tech program for students post-12th grade. The newly introduced 6-year B.Tech course specifically caters to those who have just completed their 10th grade, providing a remarkable opportunity for aspiring engineers.
