JEE Main 2025

JEE Main 2025

JEE Main (Joint Entrance Examination Main) is a national-level entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India. It is a gateway for admission to undergraduate programs in engineering, architecture, and planning at institutions like the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). Additionally, it serves as the eligibility test for JEE Advanced, which is required for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The examination is scheduled for January and April 2025, emphasizing the importance of a thorough understanding of the eligibility criteria outlined in the JEE Main information bulletin. Candidates can study from NCERT books of class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics to cover the JEE Mains syllabus. No changes have been made to JEE Main Syllabus 2025.  NTA removed several topics of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics last year from the JEE Main syllabus. 

JEE Main 2025 exam will be conducted for three courses, Paper 1 for BE/BTech, Paper 2A for BArch, and Paper 2B for BPlan.
