Prof V Ramgopal Rao, Director of IIT Delhi said, ‘JEE Advanced is an examination conducted by IITs for admission to IITs. IITs have taken a conscious decision to encourage cultural diversity on their campuses. JEE exam is now conducted in five countries worldwide and we have added the USA to this list. The US has benefited significantly by the presence of a large number of IIT alumni there and there is considerable awareness in the US about IITs. Conducting JEE in the Bay Area is a logical thing to do.’
