As per NTA’s rule it was necessary to follow all the JEE Main exam instructions and covid-19 protocols to take the NTA Joint Entrance Exam (Main) 2021 without any hassle.
Unlike previous years, the examination was organised in one shift only on the first day. Candidates applying for B.Arch as well as B.Planning attempted JEE Main on the first day. The duration of examination was three-and-a-half-hours — from 3 pm to 6:30 pm.

Candidates who clear the JEE Main will be eligible to seek admission to National Institutes of Technology (NIT), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIIT) and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). The exam is also an eligibility test for JEE Advanced, which is conducted for admission to undergraduate programs offered by the IITs.
As many as 31,965 females and 31,100 male candidates have registered to appear in BArch and BPlanning on February 23 across the country.
About 60,443 architecture and planning programme aspirants opted to write JEE Main in English, 993 wrote in Hindi, and 1629 candidates chose to write the paper in other languages (Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu).
Expert’s take: Cut off to rise
“Maths section was easier in regards previous years' examinations. Aptitude section was also easy as per expectations of students. Some questions were time consuming. Most students have done fairly well in the examination. Hence, cut off for B Plan and B Arch is set to rise.
There were total 100 questions for students attempting JEE for B Plan. For B Arch, students had to attempt two additional questions of drawing. From 100 questions, 25 were from Math, 50 from Aptitude and 25 from Planning.”
