The National Testing Agency (NTA) will administer the JEE Main 2023 exam in two attempts. JEE Main 2023 will be held on January 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31. As lakhs of students take the JEE Main every year, they have a variety of questions about the exam, the most common of which is “What is a good JEE Main score?” “What is a good rank for JEE Main 2023 to qualify for JEE Advanced 2023?” “Which colleges will I be admitted to with a particular score?" and many others.
What is a good JEE Main score?
Most candidates find it difficult to grasp what score or rank is required for admission to NITs, IIITs, or to qualify for the JEE Advanced. Admission to NITs or qualifying for JEE Advanced may not be tough with a strong preparation method. The definition of a 'Good JEE Main score' differs from person to person. The good score may differ whether you want to get into top IIITs or NITs, and it may also differ for those hoping to get into IITs.
Good JEE Main Score
Depending on the college in which a candidate wants to take admission, their anticipated score and rank in the JEE Main exam 2023 may differ. The JEE Main score required for admission to top NIT colleges in India would differ from that required for admission to a top IIIT. Students who will take the JEE Mains exam this year should keep in mind that they will be able to obtain a good score if they cover the science syllabus of Class 12th thoroughly.

Candidates with ranks ranging from 1 to 25,000 were admitted to the top IIITs.
