The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is a national level entrance examination that will be
conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Previously, the exam was conducted by CBSE once
a year. But from 2019, the exam is being conducted twice a year - January and April. In another
change, the exam is now conducted in computer based mode (except the drawing section of Paper 2
(B.Arch) which is a pen and paper based exam). JEE Main is the admission procedure into the
well-known IIITs, NITs and other more prestigious engineering institutes of the nation. More
than 12 lakh applicants appear for this examination hoping to clear and reach JEE Advanced for
admissions. The duration of the exam is 3 hours long and is multiple choice in nature. The
examination is divided into two papers – Paper 1 is for B.Tech/B.E and Paper 2 is for B.Arch or
B.Planning.
Admissions Offered into: 31 NITs, 25 IIITs and 28 GFTIs
