JEE Main 2019 – Dates, Registration, Syllabus, Results, Counseling

JEE 2019
The Joint Entrance Examination aka JEE is a competitive exam that provides admissions to the aspirants in the premier engineering and technological institutes (mostly controlled by the government) of the country. By and large, the JEE 2019 exam is divided into two components – JEE MAIN 2019 and JEE ADVANCED 2019.

The first part of the exam i.e. JEE Main lets students seek admissions for the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and some other colleges designated as “centrally funded technical institutes” (CFTIs). The JEE Advanced does the same but more strictly filters in candidates for IITs only or the Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad. Hence, students whose goal is to seek admission for the IITs only must prepare for this part of the JEE which internationally is taken as one of the most demanding UG admission tests.

In September 2013, a notable development took place when the IIT Council gave its consent to the Joint Admission Board’s decision to carry on the two-phase JEE pattern – Main and then Advanced. Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducted the joint admission process for a total of 23 IITs, ISM, 32 NITs, 18 IIITs and 19 other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs).

Another notable development in the journey of the JEE came when the CBSE made Aadhar card compulsory for registering the students appearing for the JEE. Hence, it would be wise to obtain the card days before the exam starts.

JEE Main 2019
There are 2 papers in the JEE Main 2019. They are Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 of JEE Main is for the candidates who want to pursue B.E. or B.Tech. courses only. The JEE Main exam is given by the responsible authority in both online and offline modes. Paper 2 is for the candidates who seek admission in the B.Arch and B.Planning courses. Paper 2 of JEE Main is conducted offline only.

JEE Main 2019 is a little different from JEE Advanced 2019. JEE Main 2019 has been regularly conducted on fixed schedules every year since its start and no major changes have been brought to it. Paper-1 of JEE Main 2019 is of three hours duration and consists of thirty multiple-choice (single-correct) questions in each of the three subjects- physics, chemistry, and math. 4 marks are allocated for every correct answer and 1 mark is subtracted for every wrong one.

In determining the JEE Main all India ranks, there was a time, when a 40% share was there. This 40% share consisted of the marks obtained in class XII. But that was from 2013 to 2016. It’s no longer in use.
