The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has officially opened the registration process for the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2026 today, April 6, 2026, specifically for foreign national candidates and Overseas Citizens of India/Persons of Indian Origin (OCI/PIO) candidates. The registration will remain open until May 2, 2026. Eligible candidates can apply directly through the official JEE Advanced website at jeeadv.ac.in without needing to take the JEE (Main) 2026 exam. It's important to note that seats for foreign nationals are supernumerary, limited to 10% of the total seats available in each course, and these candidates are not eligible for reservations under various categories. OCI/PIO candidates who obtained their cards before March 4, 2021, have the option to apply either as foreign nationals or alongside Indian nationals. The application process involves several steps, including registration, filling out the application form, and payment of the application fee.
