JEE Main 2022

JEE Main 2022 is a computer-based online test conducted by National Testing Agency for
students aspiring to pursue undergraduate courses in top engineering institutes in India. JEE
Main 2022 is the first phase of the IIT Joint Entrance Exam. The entrance examination till 2020
was conducted in two sessions and candidates could take the exam either in the month of
January or in April. The candidates could further opt to appear for one exam or both the
exams. The better of two NTA scores was considered by the exam conducting authority in
preparing

the ranks/merit list. 
However, as per the latest update from the officials, JEE Main 2021 exam is being held four
times a year. More significantly, students are granted admission to IITs, CFITs, NITs, and other
Government funded technical institutes based on the marks obtained in JEE Main. Also, the
top 2,50,000 students from JEE Main will qualify to appear for JEE Advanced. In essence, the
entrance exam will start from February 2022 and go on until May 2022 (New exam schedule

About JEE Main

 JEE Main will consist of three papers. Paper 1 will be for students who are planning to take
B.Tech courses, whereas Paper 2A will be for B.Arch programs and Paper 2B will be for
B.Planning courses. NTA has introduced a new exam pattern for the upcoming 2021 exam.
Meanwhile, the registration and application process for the February session started in
December. This time JEE Main (Paper 1) will be conducted in four sessions namely February,
March, April and May sessions. However, B. Arch and B. Planning papers (papers 2A and 2B)
will be held only twice a year in the months of February and May 2021. Further details are
provided below.

Students appearing for class 12 board exams with Physics and Maths as their compulsory
subjects are eligible to appear for JEE Main 2021. 2019-20 pass-outs are also eligible to
appear for this exam. However, before applying for the exam candidates should fulfil the JEE
Main

eligibility criteria. Failing to do so will result in the rejection of the application.
In JEE Main, the difficulty level of the exam lies between moderate to tough. If we look at the
previous year papers and break them down subject-wise, the Chemistry section is usually the
easiest while Physics is found to be on a moderate level. Mathematics can be considered to be
the toughest. In comparison to JEE Advanced (https://byjus.com/jee-advanced/), most of the
questions in JEE Main are straightforward and NCERT based. However, a few tricky questions
are also present and they are designed to test each candidate’s understanding of the concepts
as well as their analytical skills. Meanwhile, NTA has set up several practice centres to
familiarise students with the JEE Main examination.

Brief Advisory regarding COVID-19 Pandemic:

Candidates are advised to carry only the following with them into the examination venue:

a) Admit card along with Self Declaration (Undertaking) downloaded from the NTA Website (a

JEE Main Syllabus

While the JEE Main syllabus is mainly mapped according to the NCERT textbooks, NTA does
prescribe a separate syllabus for JEE. It comprises topics that are covered in class 11th and
12th standard including subjects such as Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
Note: As per the announcement made by the Union Minister for Education, Ramesh Pokhriyal,
the syllabus will remain the same as the previous years. There will be no reduction.
Students can also refer to the subject-wise detailed syllabus of JEE Main from the links given
below.
JEE Main Physics Syllabus (https://byjus.com/jee/jee-main-physics-syllabus/)
JEE Main Chemistry Syllabus (https://byjus.com/jee/jee-main-chemistry-syllabus/)
JEE Main Maths Syllabus (https://byjus.com/jee/jee-main-mathematics-syllabus/)

The questions asked in the JEE Main exam are easy but require a lot of smart work, practice
and effective preparation. One of the major challenges generally faced by students is the time
constraint. To overcome this, students need to develop adept problem-solving skills as well as
time management skills to ensure the successful completion of the examination. Moreover,
before starting their preparations students should acquire an in-depth and clear understanding
of each and every topic covered in the syllabus of JEE Main.  (https://byjus.com/jee/jee-main-
syllabus/)
Therefore, candidates should read the syllabus at least once before studying. This exercise will
help them gain insight into all the important chapters or topics that they should focus on.
Additionally, they can formulate a proper study plan accordingly.

How To Prepare For JEE Main 2022?

For most of the students, coaching classes are considered to be one of the main solutions to
secure a good ranking. However, an aspirant can achieve their desired result without coaching
provided they put in a fair amount of effort and develop an effective preparation strategy.

Candidates need to devise a well-organized study plan. Furthermore, they need to have a smart
approach to everything. They need to learn what the exam is all about, read the syllabus, use
the right study materials, practice solving questions, etc. They should also be mentally and
physically fit to write the exam. In any case, we have listed some of the key tips that will help
each candidate to boost their JEE Main preparation.

JEE Main Preparation Tips

Begin from scratch – Fundamentals play a vital role in JEE Main. Always concentrate on
structuring and understanding the basics of all the subjects. When the basics are strong,
learning becomes easier.
Prepare a timetable – JEE Main preparation curriculum is extensive. Hence, it should be
scheduled to gain the best results. Split the syllabus into different parts according to your
benefit. It can be limited to a chapter or a unit. Follow the timetable and avoid distractions
in between.
Know the syllabus and pattern – For better preparations, the most significant factor is to
keep oneself updated with the complete syllabus along with the paper pattern.
