Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is considered one of the toughest entrance exams but clearing the exam can promise a seat in some of the top engineering colleges in India including IITs, IIITs, and other top private institutes. Every year lakhs of students apply for the JEE but only a handful of them are able to clear the exam. Therefore, preparing thoroughly for the exam is very important to be among the handful of students. The knowledge of the the syllabus plays a significant role in preparing for the JEE exams- both Main and Advanced. This article provides detailed JEE Main 2024 for both papers so that students find it easy to prepare for their exams.
