JEE Main

Joint Entrance Examination (Main)

Deleted Syllabus PYQs
About this exam — pattern, marking, syllabus and where it leadsShow

JEE Main is the qualifying gateway for the NITs, IIITs and the centrally funded technical institutes, and the screening stage for JEE Advanced. It runs in two sessions a year and the better of a candidate's two scores counts, which changes how you should plan: the first session is a real attempt, not a rehearsal, but a poor one is recoverable. The paper rewards speed and accuracy across a wide syllabus rather than the depth on a few problems that Advanced asks for.

Duration
3 hours.
Papers
Paper 1 for B.E./B.Tech; separate papers for B.Arch and B.Planning.
Mode
Computer-based test.

Question formats

  • Section A — 20 single-correct MCQs in each subject
  • Section B — Numerical value questions
    Ten are set and any five are attempted — check the current brochure, as this rule has changed between years.

Where this exam leads

The NITs

Thirty-one of them, and the spread is enormous — Trichy CSE closes near rank 1,400 and the north-eastern NITs near 40,000. Ordered here by that closing rank, not by reputation.

Closing ranks: JoSAA 2025 Round 6 · OPEN · gender-neutral · Other-State quota, from the official JoSAA archive. Home-state candidates are admitted at considerably worse ranks than these, and other-state candidates compete for a smaller share of the seats. Check both columns on josaa.nic.in before setting preferences.

State and private institutes accepting the score

Many, with widely varying selectivity — check each one's own admission page. Several state counsellings (Gujarat's ACPC among them) reserve a share of seats for JEE Main rank-holders.

Several state engineering colleges · A number of private universities

Grouped by band rather than ranked one by one, because the ordering changes yearly and a branch at one institute is often worth more than a seat at a higher-ranked one. Check NIRF and the official counselling data before setting your preferences.
