You may enroll in the best engineering colleges in the country by performing well on the JEE Main B.E./B. Tech paper. In India, there are 23 IITs and 31 NITs. To enroll in the most prestigious IITs, you can even take JEE Advanced. B.E/B. Tech is a four-year full-time undergraduate degree program. You can pick from a wide range of fields for your B.E/B. Tech programme, including:

There will be three sections in JEE Mains exam for Paper 1 (B.E/B.Tech) including Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
According to the NTA JEE Main 2023 exam pattern, for Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Students are given four marks for each correct answer and there will be a negative marking of one mark for each incorrect answer. In the case of answers with numerical values, they are given four marks for each correct answer and there is no negative marking.
No, not at all. Btech is one of the easiest courses anyone can do only if they are very passionate about engineering otherwise they find it tough throughout the engineering.
The National Testing Agency has released a new set of rules according to which students can take up the JEE Main B.E/B.Tech paper four times in one year. If you choose to appear for the exam four times, then the best score will be considered your final score.
The exam pattern of JEE Main was changed in 2022 by NTA. Now, the questions with numerical value answers also have negative marking.
