IIT JEE (Joint entrance examination) is a national level examination conducted in India as an esteemed engineering entrance examination. The sole aim of the aspirants appearing in the JEE  exam is acquiring admissions in some of the top technical and engineering institutes across India.
There are lakhs of students who register and write the JEE exam every year. But there are only thousands who crack the exam and acquire admission in some of the best technical and engineering institutions like IITs, NITs, CFITs, and various other premier institutes in the country.

Students start preparing for JEE at an early stage but the exam being technical in nature, it is not easy to clear IIT JEE. This exam is considered to be one of the most difficult, demanding, and challenging engineering entrance examinations in India because of the gigantic syllabus and the questions asked which are not only tricky but demand adept analyzing and problem-solving skills. The students who wish to give JEE  in 2022 should not only be academically strong but also need to be analytically strong which requires strategic planning, determination, and enthusiasm to prepare all the concepts.

JEE 2022 Exam Categories

JEE exam is conducted in two phases – JEE Main and JEE Advanced. The first phase of the entrance exam is JEE Main and only those who crack the first phase of the exam will be eligible for the second phase which is JEE Advanced. Hence, it is equally important to clear both the examinations if one aims to get admission into the prestigious colleges and institutes.

JEE Main

National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the JEE Main exam as well as declares the results and administers the counseling process. JEE Main is considered to be the preliminary stage. Students who clear this stage are provided admissions in 20 IIITs, 31 NITs, and 18 other Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs). It is essential for the candidates to clear the exam and score the top ranks. Only those who are in the top ranks are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

This exam is conducted twice a year. Hence, JEE Main 2022 will also be conducted in multiple sessions – one in  January and the other in April. Students can appear for any of the two sessions. The best score out of the two exams of JEE Main will be considered for admissions or make the student eligible for JEE Advanced. The merit list of the JEE Main is based on percentile scores.

The exam is held online in a computer-based mode and consists of three papers.
  • Paper 1 is for B.Tech
  • Paper 2 for B.Arch programs
  • Paper 3 will be for B.Planning courses.
  • The major subjects included in the syllabus are Maths, Physics, and Chemistry.
Some of the important dates that students who want to appear in 2022 examinations are given in chronological order:

JEE Advanced

The second or final phase of JEE is JEE Advanced. This exam is conducted on a rotational basis every year by 7 different zonal IITs. Candidates who clear JEE Main and score the top ranks are eligible to write this exam.
This exam is a computer-based test (online) and comprises two papers i.e paper 1 and paper 2 which are mandatory papers The exam is carried out in two shifts on the same day and only those students who clear both the exam will make it to the merit list.
After clearing this exam, aspirants are provided admissions for B.E. or B.Tech. courses in 23 IIT and 9 Primer institutes.
