National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main exam, which is a national level engineering entrance exam in India.
The JEE Main exam is conducted twice a year, usually in January and April, allowing students to improve their scores and attempt the exam again.

The exam pattern for JEE Main includes multiple-choice questions (MCQs) as well as numerical value-based questions. The duration of the exam is 3 hours.
The syllabus for JEE Main is based on the NCERT curriculum for classes 11 and 12. It covers topics from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
To prepare for the exam, candidates can refer to study materials, previous year question papers, and mock tests available online. Coaching institutes also offer preparation courses for JEE Main.
The JEE Main exam is the qualifying exam for JEE Advanced, which is conducted for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
The exam is highly competitive, with lakhs of students appearing for it every year. It is important for candidates to practice regularly and revise thoroughly to score well in the exam.
Apart from engineering colleges, several other institutes also consider JEE Main scores for admission to their undergraduate engineering programs. Candidates should research and apply to these institutes accordingly.
