JEE (Main)

OVERVIEW

 

JEE (Main)

The National Testing Agency (NTA), established by the Ministry of Education (MoE), works as an independent, autonomous, and self-sustained premier testing organization. It is responsible for conducting efficient, transparent and international standards tests in order to assess the competency of candidates for admissions to premier higher education institutions.

  • The JEE (Main) 2022 will be conducted by NTA in multiple sessions for admissions in the next academic session. This will benefit the candidates in the following ways:
  • This will give multiple opportunities to the candidates to improve their scores in the examination if they are not able to give their best in one attempt.
  • In the first attempt, the students will get a first-hand experience of taking an examination and will know their mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the next time.
  • This will reduce the chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste a full year.
  • If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control (such as Board examination), then he/she will not have to wait for one full year.
  • A candidate need not appear in all the four Sessions. However, if the candidate appears in more than one Session then his/her best of the 2022 NTA Scores will be considered for preparation of Merit List/ Ranking.

MODE OF EXAMINATION

JEE (Main)-2022 will be conducted in the following modes:
