JEE (Main) is the Indian national entrance examination for admission to undergraduate engineering, architecture and planning programmes. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), an independent, autonomous organisation established by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, and it is delivered as a Computer Based Test. Three papers are offered: Paper 1 for B.E./B.Tech., Paper 2A for B.Arch. and Paper 2B for B.Planning. Topics on this exam: Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.), Paper 2A (B.Arch.), and Paper 2B (B.Planning). The JEE Main study guide has 3 sections and about 855 words.
01JEE Main Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.): Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
JEE Main Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.) is the engineering route. It tests Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at CBSE Class 11–12/NCERT depth, with emphasis on applying concepts to unfamiliar numerical situations rather than recalling isolated facts. The current NTA pattern is 75 questions and 300 marks: 25 questions per subject. Each subject has Section A (MCQs) and Section B (numerical-value questions).

JEE Main Paper 2A (B.Arch.) is the architecture route. It combines Mathematics and an Aptitude Test with a Drawing Test, so it rewards spatial visualization, visual memory and freehand drawing as well as calculation. Mathematics and Aptitude are objective sections with negative marking. The Drawing Test is a small number of questions (commonly two) where you produce sketches in the answer booklet.

JEE Main Paper 2B (B.Planning) is the planning route. It adds a Planning section to Mathematics and the Aptitude Test, so it tests quantitative reasoning plus awareness of settlements, land use, maps and urban infrastructure. Mathematics and Aptitude follow the objective, negative-marked format. The Planning section is objective and typically includes data interpretation, map reading, scale, density, land-use distribution, transport, housing and environmental planning.
