The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) on Thursday issued a stern warning to coaching centres to avoid misleading advertisements and unfair trade practices as IIT-JEE examination results approach. The consumer rights watchdog has advised coaching institutes to strictly follow the 2024 guidelines set for such entities.

The CCPA emphasised that advertisements should transparently disclose key details including students' names, ranks, course types, and whether courses were paid for.
The authority has explicitly cautioned coaching centres against making "assurances of guaranteed success" and mandated that disclaimers be displayed prominently in the same font size as other important information.
The CCPA has already taken significant enforcement action in this sector, issuing 49 notices and imposing penalties totalling Rs 77.60 lakh on 24 coaching centres for violations. These centres have been directed to discontinue misleading advertisements and unfair trade practices. Previous CCPA actions have targeted coaching centres offering services for various competitive examinations, including UPSC CSE, IIT-JEE, NEET, RBI, and NABARD, among others

Besides clearing the JEE Main cutoff, students also have to qualify the eligibility in their Class 12 board examination, which usually is 75 per cent aggregate for General and OBC and 65 per cent for SC, ST and PwD categories.

Not all students of IIT Delhi are availing on-campus placement services, the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT D) has revealed through an exit survey commissioned by the institute amongst the students who graduated in August 2024.
In this exit survey, 1411 (53.1 per cent) students confirmed that they have received a job offer. On the other hand, 224 (8.4 per cent) students responded that they were self-employed, whereas 45 (1.7 per cent) students informed that they are working for a start-up and 66 (2.5 per cent) students were involved in entrepreneurship.
As per the exit survey, 359 (13.5 per cent) IIT Delhi students responded that they are going for higher studies, 47 (1.8 per cent) PhD students informed that they are waiting for a post-doctoral research opportunity or for a faculty position. Similarly, 321 (~ 12.1 per cent) students informed that they are preparing for different examinations, for example, civil services, engineering services, and examinations required for different government jobs.
IIT Delhi also conducted an exit survey among the graduated students which revealed that only 5 per cent graduated students (from last year) were still looking for appropriate career opportunities. A large fraction of these students comprises of PhD scholars looking for Post-Doctoral Research opportunities abroad.
Students availing on-campus placement in 2023-2024 had increased by about 25 per cent from 2022-23, which includes a six-fold increase in number of PhD scholars. The total number of graduates in 2023-24 is higher than the previous year by close to 10 per cent, and the number of PhD graduates by 30 per cent.
For the first time, IIT Delhi conducted a special placement drive for PhD Scholars in June 2024, which helped to increase the number of offers by seven times compared to the previous year. Notwithstanding the success of the initial attempt at PhD placement, a large majority of these graduates are placed through off-campus placement which is to be expected as they are recruited to occupy niche roles.
With the placement season beginning at the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) from December 1, many students have opted to sit out and not participate in this placement season. Why? They have managed to secure a PPO.
When students secure a placement offer before the placement drive starts on campus, that offer is called a pre-placement offer (PPO). The journey to securing a PPO begins over a year before the on-campus placement drive begins. Many engineering students take up summer internships during their course of study, be it as part of their curriculum or their own exploration. After successful completion of their internship period, some students are offered a full-time position by the company which changes their status from an intern to a permanent employee in that company.
The internships that students secure can be attained on-campus or off-campus, depending on students’ exploration and the institute’s partnerships. Pre-Placement Offer (PPO) is increasingly gaining popularity among IIT students. For example, IIT Madras (in the 2022-23 placement season) stated that the institute received a record-breaking 350 PPOs after the 2022 summer internships.
As stated by NTA in its official notification, students will be able to check JEE Main Session Two results from the below-mentioned website:
IITs provide 20% supernumerary quota to female students. The quota was implemented in 2018 based on the recommendations of a committee led by then IIT-Mandi Director Timothy Gonsalves, which called it “the required slight push”. While most IITs implemented a 14% quota for women in 2018-19, by 2019-20 it stood at 19% and by 2021-22, most of them had 20% seats for women. Six years on, data obtained by The Indian Express under the Right to Information (RTI) Act from 21 of the 23 IITs reveals a steady increase in the number of women entering these prestigious institutes.

The number of women rose from 908 women in 2017 to 2,124 in 2024 – a 133% jump at IIT-Kanpur. At IIT-Roorkee, the number went up from 1,489 in 2019-20 to 2,626 in 2024 — a 76.36% jump. IITs in Chennai, Mumbai, Guwahati and Kharagpur, too, saw similar increases. IITs Delhi and Bombay crossed the 20% threshold in 2017 — even before the quota was implemented. Of IIT Delhi’s 2,878 students that year, 607 or 21.09% were women. In the first semester of 2024 at IIT Delhi, that number stood at 840 — a rise of 38.39%. In the case of IIT Bombay, of 2,790 students in 2017, 570 or 20.43% were women.
While engineering continues to dominate as the most popular field, this has seen a dip in recent years. Going by the data, in 2023-24, about 24.5 per cent Indians in the US pursued engineering, which is nearly a 5 per cent drop of 29.6 per cent in 2021-22. Meanwhile, maths or computer science are the most popular fields drawing Indians, with 42.9 per cent pursuing these in 2023-24.
Given the rapid growth of technology-driven industries, students are increasingly opting for programmes that align with emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, data science and machine learning, explained Sachin Jain, country manager, Educational Testing Service (ETS) India and South Asia.
Foreign education consultants also attribute these shifting job market demands to the “explosive growth” in fields like artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and cybersecurity
The JEE Main question paper is divided into two parts -A and B. Each subject consists of two sections. Section A of the question paper consists of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), and Section B consists of questions whose answers are required to be filled in as a numerical value. There is negative marking given for each wrong answer in Section A and Section B. Four marks are given for each correct answer, and one mark is deducted for each wrong answer.
