The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct JEE Main 2023. This will be a national level entrance exam to be held with an aim to shortlist the candidates for B.E/B.Tech/B.Arch/B.Planning courses in top colleges of India. A huge number of candidates appeared for the JEE Mains last year and it is expected that more candidates will be appearing for this exam in the year 2023. So, it is obvious that the competition level in the coming JEE Main exam is going to be very high.
JEE Main 2023 will have two papers- paper 1 and paper 2. Paper 1 is conducted for admission to B.E/B.Tech courses at IIITs, NITs, Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs), Institutions/Universities recognized/funded by participating State Governments, while paper 2 is conducted for providing admission to B.
