The first session of JEE Main was held in January and the second was conducted in April, however over 10 lakh candidates are expected to appear for the exam this year. 

The Paper-I was meant for candidates aspiring to take admission in B.Tech. courses, while Paper-II was for those who wished to take admission in B.Arch. or B.Planning courses offered by NITs, IIITs or Centrally-funded Technical Institutes.
