Every year, approximately 1.5 Lac students appear in this national-level architecture engineering entrance exam, which is conducted by NTA twice a year. Candidates aspiring to get admission into architecture or planning programs offered by the top institutions need to appear in the JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Arch) Examination.
The JEE Main exam 2024 is bifurcated into two papers.
JEE Main 2024 Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) will be conducted tentatively in four sessions- February, March, April, and May while JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Arch) will be conducted tentatively twice a year- February and May. The official authorities are yet to release the notification for the exam schedule.
