What is the JEE Main Exam?
The Joint Entrance Examination (Main), commonly known as JEE Main, is an entrance exam for admission to BTech, BArch, and BPlan courses at NITs, IIITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs), and institutions or universities recognised or funded by participating state governments. Additionally, JEE Main serves as a qualifying test for JEE Advanced, which is used for admission to IITs.
JEE Main is conducted twice a year, providing students with two opportunities to achieve a high score. Candidates can choose to appear in one or both sessions.
To gain admission to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), candidates must meet the minimum cutoff marks in JEE Main. With millions of students competing annually, thorough preparation is essential for aspirants.
The JEE Main 2025 exam will consist of three papers:
- Paper 1: For admission to BE/BTech courses, consisting of questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics based on Class 11 and 12 syllabi.
- Paper 2A and 2B: For admission to BArch and BPlan courses, respectively. Paper 2A covers Mathematics, an Aptitude Test, and Drawing, while Paper 2B includes Mathematics, an Aptitude Test, and Planning-based questions.
The JEE Main 2025 exam will be computer-based, except for the Drawing section in Paper 2, which will be pen-and-paper-based. The NTA has announced changes to the JEE Main 2025 exam pattern: Section B will now consist of only five questions per subject, and all five questions must be answered without any option to choose.
