Paper 2 of JEE (Mains) for admissions to BArch/ BPlanning courses at NITs, IIITs, DTU, Delhi and other CFTIs will test the candidate’s mathematics and aptitude skills and also feature a drawing test. The duration of the test will also be three hours.
Only 1,50,000 of the top rankers in JEE (Mains) will be eligible for the JEE (Advanced) test, earlier known as IIT-JEE, for admission to IITs, IT-BHU and ISM Dhanbad. JEE (Advanced) will be held in early June 2013, in contrast to the IIT-JEE’s usual date in April.
