- The entrance exam is expected to be held online at 525 BTech/BE centres, 480 BArch centres, and approximately 225 cities across the country. The exam serves as a gateway to admission to India's most prestigious engineering schools, the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
- NTA issues the JEE Main 2023 admit card on the official website only to qualified candidates. Candidates must enter JEE Main login details such as their application number and date of birth on the official website to download their JEE Mains exam admit card. The exam conducting authority is expected to release the official JEE Main 2023 answer key within three days of the exam's conclusion.
- Students and parents should be aware that the expected cutoff provided above is for 2022. The exact cutoff date for 2023 may differ.
