For which it is necessary to pass the 10th and 12th examination conducted by your state board or Central Board of Secondary Education with good marks.
If you have passed the 10th and 12th exams with good marks then you can apply for JEE exam.
JEE Exam
For taking admission in engineering, there are many examinations at the state level, but for national level engineering, JEE exam is the only one.
The full form of JEE is the ‘Joint Entrance Exam‘. Which is conducted by CBSE 4 times a year.
However, since 2013, JEE exam is being conducted in two levels, In which first is JEE Main and the second is JEE Advanced.

JEE Main is the preliminary exam for taking admission at reputed universities like IITs. That’s name is included in the few difficult examinations of the country.
What are the qualifications required to appear for JEE Main?
- The candidate must be 10+2.
- Must have passed 11th and 12th with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) subjects or should be studying in 12th.
- It is mandatory to have a minimum of 60% marks in 12th.
Note- Student who is studying in 12th. He can also appear in this exam but if the student fails in the 12th board exam or is not able to score a minimum of 60% marks then he will not be given admission even after passing in JEE Main.
Paper Pattern
JEE Exam is of full 3 hours in which questions from the following subjects are asked.
| Subject | Question | Marks | Negative Marking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | 25 (20 MCQs+ 5 Numerical Value) | 25*4= 100 | -1 (for MCQs) |
| Chemistry | 25 (20 MCQs+ 5 Numerical Value) | 25*4= 100 | -1 (for MCQs) |
| Math | 25 (20 MCQs+ 5 Numerical Value) | 25*4= 100 | -1 (for MCQs) |
- 30 questions are asked from each subject. Out of which 25 questions are objective and 5 questions are subjective.
- 4 Marks are given for every correct answer.
