National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main), for admission to undergraduate engineering programs at NITs, IIITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTI), institutions funded by participating State Governments, and other Institutions.

JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced), which you have to take if you are aspiring for admission to the undergraduate programs offered by the IITs.

The JEE (Main) is conducted twice before admissions in the next academic session. This gives you one more opportunity to improve your score if you fail to give your best in the first attempt without wasting the whole academic year. The best of the two NTA scores is considered for preparation of Merit List and Ranking.
