Yes. JEE is a valid word.

JEE is in the NASPA Word List 2023 (NWL2023), the North American list that Tileside uses for challenges and the one used in club and tournament play.
About JEE
JEE is another spelling of GEE, the call that tells a horse or ox to turn right, and it works as a verb, so JEED, JEEING and JEES are valid. JEE pairs the J with two E tiles, the most common letter in the bag, which makes it a realistic way to play the J early. Picture a farmer calling to a team of horses at the end of a furrow.

JEE scores 10 points
Before any bonus squares: J 8 + E 1 + E 1 = 10. On a double-word square that's 20, on a triple-word 30, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: JEE as the first play
Later in the game, put the J on a 3L square and JEE is worth 26 before any word bonus.
Hooks: one tile makes a new word
