What is JEE Main?
JEE Main is India's national-level engineering entrance examination, conducted by the National Testing Agency. Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) tests Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics through a computer-based test, and a JEE Main rank is used for admission to the 31 NITs, the IIITs and the Government Funded Technical Institutes, as well as by many state and private engineering colleges.
JEE Main is also the qualifying gate for JEE Advanced: the roughly top 2.5 lakh rankers become eligible to attempt JEE Advanced, the exclusive entrance to the IITs. It is held in two sessions each year, and the better of a candidate's two NTA scores is used to compile the final merit list.
