Tier 2 of the Joint Entrance Examination is JEE Advanced . Top 2,50,000 JEE Main rank holders are eligible for appearing in JEE Advanced 2021. It is one step ahead of JEE Mains in terms of difficulty level.
Along with qualifying the JEE Main and JEE Advanced, candidates also have to comply with the minimum qualification marks in Class 12 or equivalent examination.
