  • According to Hindustan Times, foreign students will be allowed to appear for JEE (Advanced) directly, unlike Indian students, who are supposed to clear the JEE (Mains) first.

    A senior official familiar with the matter told the publication that there a "clear tech link" between India and the United States.

    The official said they received requests, especially from the Silicon Valley, to conduct tests there.

  • The senior official, who wished to remain anonymous, told HT, "There is also a sizable (Indian) diaspora in the US, many of them in the technology sector."

    "So, a decision has been taken that a center will also be set up in San Francisco for the 2020 JEE (Advanced) test which is likely to be held in the month of May," the official added.

  • IIT-Delhi Director V Ramgopal Rao said the decision was made after one of their delegations visited the US, and met IIT alumni there, who "expressed wish" to send their children to the institutes.

    Hence, San Francisco was chosen as the US center, as there are many Indians in the Bay Area, Rao said.

    However, he hopes "other students in the US" also try JEE.

    JEE 2019 was conducted in Colombo, Dhaka, Dubai, Singapore, etc.

  • This year, JEE was conducted in six foreign centers across Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Dubai (UAE), Kathmandu (Nepal) and Singapore.

    Thereafter, candidates were selected for the 13,604 undergraduate seats in the 23 IITs this year.

    However, next year, 250,000 Indian students will be shortlisted after JEE (Advanced), another official told HT on the condition of anonymity.
