JEE

The JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) is an entrance exam for admission into various engineering colleges across the country. In 2022, it will be conducted in four sessions by NTA (National Testing Agency). One of the most-challenging entrance exams in the country, the JEE 2022 is your gateway to the prestigious IITs, NITs, and Central Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs). JEE conducted in two parts:

  • JEE MAIN
  • JEE ADVANCED

Institutes like the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, and the Indian Institute of Science consider the marks obtained in JEE Advanced as one of the criteria for admission.

It has been decided to provide choices in one section of each subject of Paper 1 and Part-I of Paper 2A and 2B to cater to the decision of different Boards across the country regarding the reduction of the syllabus. However, the total number of questions to be attempted will remain the same (Physics – 25, Chemistry – 25, and Mathematics – 25), wherever applicable.
