JEE Mains 2025: Admission to NITs, IIITs & PSUs through NTA
JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Mains 2025 is a national-level engineering entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). It is the gateway for admission into top NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and also serves as an eligibility test for JEE Advanced for entry into IITs. Furthermore, several PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) consider JEE Mains scores for recruitment.
JEE Mains 2025 consists of Paper 1 (for B.E./B.Tech), Paper 2A (for B.Arch), and Paper 2B (for B.Planning). This article focuses primarily on Paper 1, relevant for NITs and PSUs, including exam pattern, complete subject-wise syllabus, and selection process.
