What is NTA JEE Main?

The Joint Entrance Exam Main (JEE Main) is an entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to undergraduate engineering programmes offered by NITs, IITs, CFTIs, and institutions/universities funded or recognised by state governments in India.

• The JEE Main consists of two papers: Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 is held for undergraduate engineering programmes offered by NITs, IITs, CFTIs, and institutions/universities funded or recognised by state governments.

• JEE Main Paper 2 is conducted for admission to the Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) and Bachelor of Planning (BPlanning) courses in India. The paper for BArch is called Paper 2A. However, the paper for BPlanning is known as Paper 2B.

• Candidates need to note that JEE Main is the eligibility test for JEE Advanced, which is conducted for admission to IITs. Therefore, as we mentioned earlier, the JEE Main is also held for admission to IITs.

People often refer to both JEE Main Paper 1 and Paper 2 collectively as "JEE Mains".
