About JEE Main
JEE Main is conducted by NTA and serves as the gateway for admissions to undergraduate engineering and architecture programmes at NITs, IIITs, Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs), and other centrally funded institutions. It also acts as the qualifying exam for JEE Advanced, through which admissions to the IITs are made.
The examination is conducted in two sessions each year — Session 1 (January) and Session 2 (April). Candidates are permitted to appear in both sessions, and the better of the two scores is considered for merit ranking.
