JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Main is one of the most challenging and coveted entrance exams in India for engineering. Every year, the exam is conducted by NTA for candidates seeking admission to various undergraduate programs offered by the premier technical institutes of the country.
JEE Main consists of two papers named Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 is conducted for students seeking admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs (B.E/B. Tech) at IIITs, NITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs), and Institutions/Universities funded/ recognised by participating State Governments. Paper 2 is conducted for students seeking admission to B. Arch and B. Planning courses in the Country. JEE Main also serves as an eligibility test for JEE (Advanced), which is conducted for admission to IITs.
For the session 2023-24, JEE Main is conducted in two sessions. Session 1 was conducted in January 2023, and session 2 is scheduled for 06, 08, 10, 11, and 12 April 2023. The exam is conducted in 13 languages in computer-based test mode at designated exam centres in India and abroad. Since the competition is sky-high, it is imperative for students to prepare effectively, for which adequate knowledge of the syllabus and chapter-wise weightage is critical. Here we present the complete syllabus, chapter-wise weightage, important topics, previous years’ analysis and exam tips to help students ace their exams.
