Joint Entrance Exam

JOINT ENTRANCE EXAM FOR ADMISSION TO IITs and NITs

The Joint Entrance Examination,JEE(Main) comprises two papers. Paper1 is conducted for admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs (B.E/B.Tech.) at NITs, IIITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions(CFTIs), and Institutions/Universities funded/recognized by participating State Governments. JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test for JEE (Advanced), which is conducted for admission to IITs. Paper 2 is conducted for admission to B. Arch and B. Planningcourses in the country.

*Each Subject will have two sections. Section A will be of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) and Section B will contain Questions whose answers are to be filled in as a numerical value. In Section B, candidates have to attempt any 05 (five) questions out of 10. There will be negative marking for both Section A and Section B. For each question in Section B, a candidate has to enter the correct integer value of the answer using the mouse and the on-screen virtual numeric keypad in the place designated to enter the answer. For Section B, the answer should be rounded off to the nearest integer.

  8. Older in Age followed by
  9. Application Number in ascending order
Important Note:
  • For Multiple Choice Questions: To answer a question, the candidates need to choose one option corresponding to the correct answer or the most appropriate answer. However, if any anomaly or discrepancy is found after the process of challenges of the key verification, it shall be addressed in the following manner:
  1. Correct answer or the most appropriate answer: Four marks (+4)
  2. Any incorrect option marked will be given minus one mark (-1).
  3. Unanswered/Marked for Review will be given no mark (0).
  4. If more than one option is found to be correct then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to only those who have marked any of the correct options.
  5. If all options are found to be correct then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question.
  • If none of the options is found correct or a Question is found to be wrong or a Question is dropped then full marks will be awarded to all candidates who have appeared irrespective of the fact whether the question has been attempted or not attempted by the candidate.

  • For Numerical Value Questions:

There will be negative marking for Section B. However, if any anomaly or discrepancy is found after the process of challenges of the key verification, it shall be addressed in the following manner:

  1. Correct Answer: Four marks (+4)
  2. Incorrect Answer: Minus one mark (-1)
  3. Unanswered/Marked for Review: No mark (0).
  4. If a question is found to be incorrect or the Question is dropped then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question. The reason could be due to human error or technical error.
  5. Candidates are advised to do the calculations with the constants given (if any) in the questions. The answer should be rounded off to the nearest integer.

Syllabus of Examination

The details of the syllabus are given on the website: https://jeemain.nta.nic.in/.

Moreover, to cater to the decision of different Boards across the country regarding the reduction in the syllabus, the NTA has decided to provide a choice in one Section of each Subject of Paper 1 and Part I of Paper 2A and 2B. However, the total number of questions to be attempted will remain the same (Physics -25, Chemistry – 25, and Mathematics – 25), wherever applicable.
