The National Testing Agency (NTA) is an independent, autonomous, and self-sufficient premier testing organization entrusted with conducting the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main).

The Joint Entrance Examination (Main), or JEE (Main), consists of two papers:

Paper 1 is a competitive examination for admission to (B.E/B.Tech.) at NITs, IITs, CFTIs, and Institutions/Universities recognized by participating State Governments. JEE (Main) is also required for JEE (Advanced), which is used to get into IITs.

Paper 2 is used to gain entrance to the country's Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Planning programs. The JEE (Main) 2023 will be held in two sessions to access the academic year 2022-23. As a result, the candidates will benefit in the following ways:

• If they cannot offer their total effort in one try, they will have two chances to enhance their test marks.
• Students will have firsthand experience taking an examination and be aware of their faults, which they may improve upon while attempting it for the second time.
• This reduces a year's drop rate and saves droppers from wasting a whole year.
• If someone missed the exam due to circumstances beyond their control (such as the Board exam), they would not have to wait a year.

Exam Dates

JEE 2023 Exam Schedule has been released. The table below shows the JEE 2023 Exam Dates and the application form release date.

Eligibility Criteria

To apply for the GATE entrance test, a candidate must have one of the following qualifications.

• Candidates must have obtained at least 75% in their 12th class examination or be in the top 20% of their respective Boards' 12th class/Qualifying exams. [This criterion has been deleted from the previous three years due to students' difficulty during the COVID-19 epidemic.]
• No age limit has been included for JEE Main 2023 applicants.
• Candidates who passed Class XII/qualifying examinations in 2020 or earlier and those who will take such examinations in 2024 or later cannot register for JEE Main 2023.
• Candidates who took the Class XII/equivalent qualifying test in 2020 and did not pass, but did pass in 2021, cannot register for JEE Main 2023.
• To be eligible for JEE Main 2023, candidates must have taken at least five subjects in their class 12th/qualifying examination.
• A candidate may take the JEE Main exam a maximum of three times
