ABOUT ASE 2026

What is ASE ?

ASE or Admission Screening Examination is the Entrance exam for admission to two year integrated program for JEE Main/JEE Advanced preparation at IIT-HOME. Admissions to IIT-HOME are accepted strictly on the basis of ASE.

This year's ASE-2026 (for admissions to Two Year Integrated Program for JEE Main/JEE Advanced 2026 preparation) will be conducted on Sunday, 7th January 2024. ASE is conducted only once annually.

Students appearing for Std. X Board Exam in March 2024 are only eligible to appear for ASE 2026.

ASE 2026 will be an OFFLINE single stage examination containing objective and/or subjective papers on Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics to judge the knowledge, application of concepts and analytical ability of the candidate.

The syllabus for ASE 2026 can be found in the adjoining syllabus tab here.

IIT-HOME does not conduct any classes or training program for the preparation of ASE. In ASE, we intend to test the analytical ability and understanding of concepts rather than the student‘s memorising capacity and his/her training. We believe that sincerely studying for Std. X and revising Std. IX concepts should suffice for the preparation of ASE.

Students should read thoroughly Maharashtra State Board textbooks and NCERT books for Std. IX and Std. X. We recommend focusing on revision and understanding of basic concepts rather than attempting or practicing higher-level questions.

It is strongly advised to refer standard textbooks of either Maharashtra State Board or CBSE.

Few sample questions for ASE 2026 will be provided to students after registering online for the examination.

The sample questions provided are only with a purpose to give an idea about the difference between ASE and school examinations.

Introductory Session is a unique session conducted only by IIT-HOME for ASE qualified students before offering admissions to 2YIP. The session intends to give a clear overview of the two year program at IIT-HOME along with the level of competition, the schedule, IIT-HOME rules & regulations, the faculty, fee structure etc.

The Introductory Session is meant to assist eligible students/parent an informed and wise decision. It is therefore mandatory for ASE qualified students to attend the session along with one parent. Failing to attend the session will lead to cancellation of eligibility of the candidate for admission to IIT-HOME.

We do not reveal cut-off of ASE as we believe that it can bias a child before appearing for the examination. The cut-off varies every year. The current year cut-off of ASE will be revealed in the Introductory Session.
