What is JEE Main Exam?

• The National Testing Agency (NTA) administers the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main to facilitate entry into B.E, B. Tech, B. Arch, and B. Planning programs at esteemed institutions nationwide. 
• Successful candidates gain access to top-tier institutes. 
• Additionally, JEE Main serves as the qualifying examination for JEE (Advanced), a prerequisite for admission to the prestigious IITs. 
• In the JEE Main 2025 exam, Paper 1 is dedicated to B. Tech/B.E courses, while Paper 2 comprises two segments - 2A for B.Arch programs and 2B for B.Plan courses. 

JEE Main Exam Pattern for B. Tech/ B.E. (Paper 1)

• JEE Main Exam is conducted in an online format and is divided into two sections for each subject: Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) in Section A and Numerical Answer Type Questions in Section B. 
• The time allotted for JEE Main exam Paper 1 is 3 hours, with an extended duration of 4 hours for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) candidates. 
• Section A includes 20 compulsory questions from each subject. 
  
• Section B presents 5 questions, from each subject whose answers are to be filled as a numerical value.

• So, Total number of questions to be answered in 3 hours is 60.

JEE Main Exam Pattern for B. Arch and B. Plan (Paper 2)

1. B. Arch (Paper 2A)

• The Drawing section comprises only 2 questions, evaluating candidates' drawing skills.
  
• The Mathematics section consists of 20 MCQs and 5 numerical questions.

• The Aptitude Test consists of 50 MCQs. Only one Out of four options is the best answer.
  

• Paper 2A: B.Arch 
• Subjects: Mathematics, Aptitude and Drawing
• Number of Questions: 77
• Total Marks: 400
  

2. B. Plan (Paper 2B)
