New Delhi: Registration for JEE-Main (January) exam began on Tuesday with the examination conducting authority announcing major changes in the question pattern.
The National Testing Agency (NTA), in an information bulletin released on Tuesday morning, announced that students from any discipline can sit for the JEE-Main exam for the Bachelors’ in Planning course provided they have Mathematics as a subject and have scored 50 per cent in it.
The JEE-Main is conducted for admission to NITs, IIITs, CFTIs and engineering and architecture courses in private colleges. It also acts as a screening test for appearing in JEE-Advance for admission to the IITs.
