The JOINT ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (Main) or JEE (Main) is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the JEE Apex Board for students seeking admission to undergraduate engineering programmes in NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded technical institutions. It serves as a gateway for admission to these premier institutions across India. The exam assesses candidates' understanding of physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and its performance is a key criterion for selection.

Candidates who have passed their class 12 examination or equivalent in 2023 or 2024 are eligible to apply. There is no upper age limit for appearing in JEE (Main). However, candidates may need to fulfill specific eligibility criteria set by the institutions they are applying to. Reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD may have relaxed eligibility conditions as per government norms.

Candidates must register online through the official JEE (Main) portal. The application process involves filling in personal details, uploading required documents, and paying the application fee. After submission, candidates should download and keep a copy of the confirmation page for future reference. The official page lists the current application fee and detailed instructions for the process.
