Joint Selection test – Principal (JEE-Fundamental), previously All India Designing Placement test (AIEEE), is an Indian normalized PC based test for admission to different specialized undergrad programs in designing, engineering, and arranging across universities in India. The test is led by the Public Testing Office for admission to B.Tech, B.Arch, and so on programs in chief specialized establishments like the Public Foundations of Innovation (NIT) and Indian Organizations of Data Innovation (IIIT), which depend on the position got in the JEE-Primary. It is normally directed two times consistently. Beginning around 2019, the JEE has been led completely online as an electronic test.

The AIEEE was presented in 2002, since the recently settled NIT and IIIT colleges needed a placement test paper of a better quality than the Normal Designing Test (CET), which was previously utilized for admission to all non-IIT designing colleges, including even RECs and IIITs, owing generally to the rising rivalry and the objective of keeping up with the selectiveness of such foundations of public significance. It was renamed to JEE-Primary in 2013.

Until 2018, the test was held both in pen and paper and CBT modes, as well as was held in the primary seven day stretch of April by the Focal Leading body of Optional Schooling (CBSE). It is directed by Public Testing Organization in CBT mode just from 2018 onwards.

In 2010, the Service of Human Asset Improvement declared plans to supplant JEE with a typical entry test for all administration designing schools which will be called Indian Science Designing Qualification Test (ISEET), by 2013.
