Srinagar, July 11: IT JEE is a joint entrance exam that is mandatory for most engineering courses, and if you want to know how to get into IIT in 2025 after your 12th class, you need to clear the IIT JEE exam. After you clear the IIT JEE exam, you will be offered admission to the IITs and some other top engineering colleges from all over India. IITs offer top-tier undergraduate and postgraduate programs, but the admission process can seem overwhelming.

Here’s a detailed way in simple steps-
For Undergraduate (UG) Programs:
Appear for JEE Mains:
The first step is clearing the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains. This test evaluates your knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, and Math, and determines eligibility for the next level.

Qualify JEE Advanced:
