The registration for the Joint Entrance Examination-Main 2022 or JEE-Main, 2002, has begun. The national-level entrance exam would be held in two phases in April and May for admission to BTech, BE, BArch and B.Plan courses offered at premier technical institutes like the National Institute of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), other centrally funded technical institutes, a few deemed universities and engineering colleges in many states.

There is no minimum-mark restriction for the JEE–Main. However, in case more criteria are introduced during the time of the admission, then the candidates need to abide by them.

The admissions to various undergraduate and post-graduate programmes of premier institutes under the DASA scheme too would be done based on the JEE-Main score.

DASA denotes Direct Admission of Students Abroad. This scheme facilitates admission for Foreign Nationals/ Persons of Indian Origin/Non-Resident Indians.
