INFORMATION BULLETIN
Introduction and Scheme of Examination
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India (GoI) has established National Testing
Agency (NTA) as an independent autonomous and self-sustained premier testing organization under Society
Registration Act 1860 for conducting efficient, transparent and international standards tests in order to assess the
competency of candidates for admissions to premier higher education institutions.
The Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has
entrusted the responsibility of conducting Joint Entrance Examination JEE (Main) to the NTA from 2019 onwards.
Admission criteria to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, IIITs, other Centrally Funded Technical
Institutions (CFTI), Institutions funded by participating State Governments, and other Institutions shall include the
performance in the class 12/equivalent qualifying Examination and in the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main).
The B. E. /B. Tech. of JEE (Main) will also be an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced), which the candidate has to take
if he/she is aspiring for admission to the undergraduate programs offered by the IITs.
This will give one more opportunity to the students to improve their scores in examination if they fail to
give their best in first attempt without wasting their whole academic year.
In first attempt, the students will get a first-hand experience of taking an examination and to know their
mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the second time.
This will reduce chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste a full year.
If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control, then he/she won’t have to wait for one
full year.
The student’s best of the two NTA scores will be considered for preparation of Merit List/ Ranking.
The first JEE (Main) – 2020 was held in January 2020 whereas the second will be held in April, 2020.
Mode of Examination
JEE (Main)-2020 will be conducted in the following modes:
a) B.E. /B. Tech. in “Computer Based Test (CBT)” mode only.
b) B. Arch: Mathematics- Part I and Aptitude Test-Part II in “Computer Based Test (CBT)” mode only and
Drawing Test –Part III in “Pen & Paper Based” (offline) mode to be attempted on drawing sheet of A4
size.
c) B. Planning: Mathematics- Part I , Aptitude Test-Part II and Planning Based Questions-Part III in

passed the Class XII (or equivalent) examination and NOT the State from where the candidate has appeared for
improvement.
Candidate passed/appearing class 12th from NIOS should select the State of Eligibility according to the State in
which the study centre is located.
For Indian nationals passing the Class XII (or equivalent) examination from Nepal/Bhutan, the State code of eligibility
will be determined on the basis of permanent address in India as given in the passport of the candidate.
The State code of eligibility of OCI/PIO passing Class XII (or equivalent) examination in India is at par with Indian
nationals. However, OCI/PIO passing the Class XII (or equivalent) examination from an institution abroad are eligible
for Other State quota seats or All India quota seats (but NOT for Home State quota seats) in all NITs, IIEST and
Other-CFTIs

refundable.
The NTA’s decision on the challenges shall be final and no further communication will be entertained.
The subject experts will examine all the challenges received and then a final answer key will be displayed
and declared.
The result will be compiled on the basis of the final answer key declared. No grievance with regard to
answer key(s) after declaration of result of JEE (Main) April- 2020 will be entertained.
b) Evaluation of multiple choice questions of B.E./B.Tech, B.Arch and B.Planning will be carried out using final
answer keys and the raw (actual) marks obtained by a candidate will be considered further for
computation of the result of JEE (Main) April-2020.
c) Raw marks obtained by the candidates in different shifts/sessions will be converted to NTA Score.
d) The detailed procedure for compilation of NTA Score is available on NTA’s website.
11
b) Compilation and display of Result for April session:
(i) Similarly, JEE(Main)April-2020 B.E./B.Tech will be conducted in multi-shifts, NTA scores will be
calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate. The calculated NTA scores for all
the shifts/sessions will be declared by 30th April, 2020. This will comprise of the four NTA scores for each
of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) and the total in B.E./B.Tech of JEE
(Main)April–2020.
(ii) The NTA scores for each of the candidates in Total in B.E./B.Tech of JEE(Main) January -2020 as well as
for the April 2020 will be merged for compilation of result and preparation of overall Merit List/
Ranking. Those candidates who appeared in both the attempts; their best of the two NTA scores
(total) will be considered for further processing.
(i) In case of a tie, i.e. when two or more candidates obtain equal Total NTA Score in JEE(Main)-2020,
inter-se merit of such candidates shall be determined in following order:
Rank list for admission to B.E. /B. Tech. (in institutions other than IITs):
NTA score in Mathematics, followed by
NTA score in Physics, followed by
NTA score in Chemistry, followed by
Candidates with less proportion of negative responses, followed by
Candidates older in age
If the resolution is not possible after this criterion, candidates will be given the same rank.
(ii) The NTA scores and rank of B.E./B.Tech of JEE (Main)–2020 for all candidates who appeared in January
2020 as well as in April 2020 will be declared by 30th April, 2020. This shall comprise of the four NTA
scores obtained by the candidate in first attempt, four NTA scores obtained in second attempt and four
NTA scores for those appeared in both the attempts(best of the two Total NTA scores) along with the
status of those who qualify for appearing in JEE (Advanced)–2020 provided and subject to other
conditions of eligibility being met. The rank shall comprise All India rank and All India category rank.
