Taking admission into an engineering course is seen as a coveted avenue for students to build a secure professional career. Among the many reasons for it being a popular career choice is that engineering graduates are one of the highest paid professionals in India. he JEE is the entry point for admission to India's esteemed engineering colleges. As you gear up for JEE Main 2024, here is all you need to know about the most important topics for this competitive entrance exam.

JEE Main exam pattern

The exam is conducted in two phases: JEE Main Paper 1 and JEE Main Paper 2.

JEE Main - Paper 1 is meant for candidates seeking admission to B.E./B.Tech. programmes, and it is divided into three sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Each section contains 25 questions, for a total of 75 questions. Paper 1 has a total of 300 marks. Each part contains 25 questions in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, including 20 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and 5 numerical value type questions.

JEE Main - Paper 2 is meant for candidates seeking admission to B.Arch., B.Planning, and B.F.Tech. programmes, and it is divided into three sections: Mathematics, Aptitude Test, and Drawing Test. The total mark allotment for Paper 2 differs depending on the chosen course, with 100 marks allotted for B.Arch. students and 50 marks designated for B.F.Tech. applicants.

The marking scheme for the Mathematics and Aptitude Tests changes, with +4 marks awarded for each correct MCQ response, -1 mark awarded for each wrong answer, and 0 marks awarded for unattempted MCQ questions. Marks are assigned in the Drawing Test based on the quality of the drawings submitted by the candidates.
