Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main) is conducted to get admission into Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, IIITs, Other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, Institutions funded by participating State Governments & other Institutions. The Paper-1 (B. E./B. Tech.) of JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced), which the candidate has to take if he/she is aspiring for admission to the undergraduate programmes offered by the IITs.
JEE (Main) – 2017 has two papers, Paper-1 (B. E./B. Tech.) and Paper-2 (B. Arch./B. Planning.). Candidates may take Paper-1 (B. E./B. Tech.), or Paper-2 (B. Arch./B. Planning.), or both as per the course(s) they are seeking admission to.
Subject combinations for each paper, type of questions in each paper and mode of examination available is given in the table below.

Mathematics Analysis
- Level of Maths was similar to previous year but little bit on lengthy side.
- Questions from quadratic, progression, straight line, circle and probability were little bit tricky.
- Thirteen questions were asked from 11th, sixteen questions from 12th and one question was mixed of 11th and 12th (NCERT syllabus).
- Total four questions were asked from 2-D in spite of five questions in general.
- The options were carefully designed. Most probable wrong answers were also included in the options.
