JEE (Main) is  in examination for all engineering aspirants who have appeared / passed Class 12 from national/state recognized boards. This exam is conducted for admission to undergraduate engineering program at National Institutes of Technology Indian Institutes of Information Technology other centrally-funded technical institutions and institutions funded by several participating state governments. JEE (Main) exam also restricts the number of attempts to three for the aspirants. The admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at IIITs, NITs , other centrally funded Technical Institutions, the  institutions funded by several participating State Governments and several other Institutions shall involve the Joint Entrance Examination i.e. JEE (Main). JEE (Main) will also be an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced) which the candidate has to take if he/she is aspiring for admission to the undergraduate program offered by the IITs. So this article provides you all the knowledge about JEE MAIN- Entrance Examination and Syllabus.
