The Joint Entrance Examination-Main (JEE-Main) comprises two papers.

Paper one is conducted for admission to undergraduate engineering programmes -- BE and B.Tech -- at NITs, IIITs and other centrally-funded technical institutions, and institutions and universities funded and recognised by participating state governments.

It is also an eligibility test for JEE (Advanced), which is conducted for admission to IITs. Paper two is conducted for admission to B.Arch and B.Planning courses.

Last year, the exam was conducted four times to offer flexibility to students and a chance to improve their scores. The first phase was held in February and the second in March.

The next phases, scheduled for April and May, were postponed in view of the deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The remaining two phases were conducted in August and September last.
