Structure and Syllabus for JEE Main and IIT JEE Advanced

JEE Main and IIT JEE Advanced JEE Main and Advanced are competitive engineering entrance exams in India. They serve as a gateway for admission to prestigious colleges, including IITs. Candidates must understand the exam structure to prepare and increase their success chances. JEE Main is a qualifying exam for JEE Advanced conducted by NTA. 

The JEE Advanced is more challenging and conducted by rotating IITs, while this article covers both JEE Main and JEE Advanced structures and syllabuses. It helps prepare candidates for exams by explaining sections, topics, marking, and time, leading to a better study plan.
