Introduction
The Joint Entrance Examination Council, Uttar Pradesh (JEECUP) first came into being in the year 1986-87 for the admission of aspiring candidates to the polytechnic (engineering), technology and management institutions across the state of Uttar Pradesh. The students are admitted to their respective colleges on the basis of the marks they obtain on the admission tests conducted at the state level.
JEECUP Eligibility criteria
The eligibility criteria for attempting the JEECUP exam are pretty straightforward. A candidate who has attained the age of 14 years or above and completed the class 10 examination with at least 35 percent or more is eligible to attempt the exam with no roadblocks or setbacks. An important point to be noted here is that there is no upper age limit to apply for the JEECUP exam, so anyone can apply for the exam at any time if they are willing to learn. There are also some reservation criteria which are listed below.

Over the past couple of years, there has been a considerable surge in the number of candidates appearing for the JEECUP examination.
