About the JEE Main exam
The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the JEE Main exam twice a year (January and April). It is one of the most competitive and important engineering entrance exams in India taken by over 10 to 12 lakh students. The exam is held at a national level to shortlist candidates for JEE Advanced. The questions in the exam are framed from the class 11 and 12 level syllabus prescribed by NTA.
Top 2.5 lakh students in JEE Main are qualified to appear in JEE Advanced.
