JEE Main 2019: Important Dates, Application Form, Cut Off, Admit Card & More

About

JEE Main is the national-level, engineering entrance exam for admission into most of the engineering colleges across the country. Every year around 12-14 lakh students appear for JEE Main. All the NITs and IIITs accept JEE Main score for student intake. This is one of the most popular entrance exams in India. A vast majority of students find JEE Main to be tough and difficult to crack. The number of students appearing for JEE Main increases each year, which also increases the competition. In order to crack JEE Main and get into India’s top engineering colleges, a student requires determination, perseverance and planning.

JEE Main is also the qualifying exam for JEE Advanced. IITs do not accept JEE Main score and, hence, students willing to enroll for IITs will also have to appear for JEE Advanced. A student will be allowed to appear for JEE Advanced only if he clears the JEE Main cut off. The exam will be conducted twice and only in the online mode from 2019.

JEE Main has two papers:

Paper 1 – B.Tech/Engineering
Paper 2 – B.Arch/Architecture.

Students preparing for Engineering should opt for Paper 1 and those preparing for Architecture should opt for Paper 2.
