JEE MAINS

The Joint Entrance Examination (Main), also known as JEE Main, is the exam held to shortlist candidates for admission to B.Tech, B.Arch, and B.Plan courses at the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs). JEE Main also serves as the qualifying exam for the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs)

The JEE (Main) - 2022 will be conducted in 02 (two) sessions for admissions in the next academic session.

·       This will give two opportunities to the candidates to improve their scores in the examination if  they are not able to give their best in one attempt.

·       In the first attempt, the students will get a first-hand experience of taking an examination and will know their mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the second time.

·       This will reduce the chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste an entire year.

·      If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control (such as the Board examination), then he/she will not have to wait for one entire year.

·      A candidate need not appear in both Sessions. However, if a candidate appears in more than     one Session then his/her best of the JEE (Main) - 2022 NTA Scores will be considered for       preparation of Merit List/ Ranking.
