Hi Kartik

You can skip paper 2 if you are not interested in B.Tech and B.E courses in NITs/IIITs and GFTIs. You can get admission in B.Arch course though.

All The Best

Thanks

Yes, it is not compulsory to give JEE Main paper 2.

JEE Main paper 1 is to take admission in B.tech or B.E course in NITs/IIITs and GFTIs and for B.Arch courses you can appear for JEE Main paper 2.

Good Luck!!

For engineering you need to appear only for JEE Mains paper 1 for admission to NITs, IIITs and few other central funded institutes. If you get the minimum cut-off in JEE mains you get qualified to appear  for JEE advanced which is for admission to IITs.

JEE Mains paper 2 is an entrance exam for admission to 5 year undergraduate B.Arch, B.Planning at to 31 NITs, 18 GFTIs and IIEST
