JEE Main New Exam Pattern 2020: Changes Made

A separate paper has been introduced for B. Planning in JEE Main 2020. Along with BE/ BTech, BArch, the exams will be conducted for B.Planning as well. Also, the numeric value answer based questions have been added to the JEE Main Latest Paper pattern.

For admission in NITs & other CFTIs, a minimum of 75% marks in 12th Board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in the qualifying examinations is required.

Candidates clearing Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) will be eligible for admission in IITs, irrespective of their marks in class 12 board examination. The decision has been taken due to the partial cancellation of class 12 board exams by several boards.
