JEE Main 2018: Dates, Application Form, Cut Off , Admit Card and More

About

JEE Main is the entrance exam for most of the engineering colleges across the country. Every year around 16 lakh students appear for JEE Main. All the NIT and IIIT’s accept JEE Main score for student intake. This is one of the most famous entrance exam in India. A vast majority of students find JEE Main to be vast and tough. Every year the number of students appearing for JEE Main is increasing which also increases the competition. It is needless to say that clearing JEE Main requires determination, consistency and planning.

JEE Main is also a qualifying exam for JEE Advanced. IIT’s do not accept JEE Main score and hence students willing to enrol for IIT’s will also have to appear for JEE Advanced. A student will be allowed to appear for JEE Advanced only if he clears JEE Main cut off. The exam is conducted in two modes: Online and Offline.

JEE Main has two papers:

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

Students who’re preparing for Engineering should opt for Paper 1 and students who’re preparing for Architecture should opt for Paper 2.
