Pattern of examination[edit]

JEE-Main Exam has two papers, Paper-1 and Paper-2. Candidates may opt for either or both of them.

• Paper-1 is for admission in B.Tech (online and offline).
• Paper-2 is for admission in B.Arch and B.Planning (offline only).

And both papers contain objective type questions and the (approximately 150,000) qualified students are eligible to attend the JEE-Advanced Exam. The eligibility to write the JEE-Advanced exam will be based on the performance in the JEE-Main examination. The option to write paper-1 online was officially withdrawn from 2014 onwards, and it has been put off for a later date.
