Kolkata: JEE Advanced serves as the gateway for admission to undergraduate programs at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Students dedicate years to preparing, working tirelessly to achieve a top rank and gain entry to the prestigious IITs.

However, success isn't always guaranteed, and many don't qualify for JEE Advanced, falling short of the minimum cutoff. Disappointment and discouragement are natural reactions to such a setback. Hence, it's important to remember that not qualifying for JEE Advanced doesn't signify the end of your engineering aspirations.

What are the Courses You Can Do other than Getting Admission in an IIT?

Several other well-known science and technology schools, besides IITs, use the JEE Advanced test to accept candidates to undergraduate and dual degree programs. They are tabulated below:

Institutes	About Courses
Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore	IISc Bangalore accepts JEE Advanced scores for admission to a diverse range of undergraduate programs. The most common offering is the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech), a 4-year engineering degree with specializations spanning Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical, and many other fields. Beyond B.Tech, some institutes offer Bachelor of Science (B.S.) programs, often with a stronger focus on core sciences like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biological Sciences. Architecture aspirants can pursue a 5-year B.Arch program. Furthermore, many institutes offer integrated dual degree programs, combining a B.Tech or B.S. with a master's degree (M.Tech or M.S.) in a related field.
Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) Thiruvananthapuram	IIST is a launchpad for future space pioneers, exclusively using JEE Advanced scores to admit students into its highly coveted programs. Aspiring astronauts and aerospace engineers can leverage their JEE Advanced success to apply for IIST's rigorous 4-year B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering, the cutting-edge 4-Year B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Avionics), and the intensive 5-Year Dual Degree (B.Tech. + Master of Science/Master of Technology) courses.
Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIPE) Visakhapatnam	IIPE, a prestigious hub for energy education, recognizes the immense challenge and value of the JEE Advanced exam, using it as the sole gateway for undergraduate admissions. Aspiring energy leaders can vie for a coveted spot in IIPE's Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) programs, including Petroleum Engineering (limited to a select group of 62 future petroleum magnates), Chemical Engineering (with only 63 seats available for the next generation of chemical innovators), and Mechanical Engineering (offering just 40 opportunities for aspiring mechanical masters). Securing a place at IIPE through JEE Advanced is a testament to one's dedication and potential to shape the future of the energy sector.
Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) Mubarakpur Mukhatiya	RGIPT also uses JEE Advanced scores for B.Tech. admissions. RGIPT offers a diverse range of programs, including Chemical Engineering (with specializations in Renewable Energy Engineering and Petrochemicals and Polymers Engineering), Computer Science and Design Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering (with a focus on E Vehicle Technology), Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, Mathematics and Computing, Petroleum Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering (with a specialization in Applied Petroleum Geoscience).
Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research campuses (IISER Berhampur, IISER Bhopal, IISER Kolkata, IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Thiruvananthapuram & IISER Tirupati)	IISERs offer BS-MS (dual degree), BS (four-year), and PhD programs. The BS-MS is the flagship program, designed to integrate undergraduate education with research. IISERs also offer specialized BS programs in specific disciplines like Engineering Sciences or Economics and a few integrated PhD programs. Admission to IISERs primarily happens through three channels: KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) for students with a KVPY fellowship, JEE Advanced for students who qualify in the exam, and IAT (IISER Aptitude Test), a national-level entrance exam conducted by the IISERs themselves.
Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Karnataka	MIT accepts both MU OET and JEE Main scores for admission to most of its undergraduate engineering programs. Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) offers a diverse range of programs, including undergraduate B.Tech degrees in various engineering specializations like Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering, integrated B.Tech-M.Tech programs, postgraduate M.Tech degrees, MCA, MSc programs in sciences like Chemistry, and PhD programs for those pursuing research.
Sri Ramaswamy Memorial Institute of Science and Technology (SRM) Ramapuram	SRM Institute of Science and Technology offers a diverse range of academic programs accepting the JEE advanced score with its flagship being the B.Tech program encompassing numerous specializations in engineering disciplines like Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical, and more. Beyond engineering, SRM provides opportunities in the sciences through B.Sc programs covering subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biotechnology. Management aspirants can pursue an MBA at their well-regarded management school.
Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT)	After taking an entrance exam VITEEE or by the scores of JEE Advanced VIT offers many courses, its most popular being the B.Tech (engineering). B.Tech has lots of specializations, like Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical, and IT. Besides engineering, VIT also has Architecture, Science (B.Sc), and Management (BBA, MBA) programs. B.Tech has the most options. For the latest course info, check the VIT website and the VITEEE brochure, since admission mainly uses the VITEEE test.
