Hello,

Paper 1 asked in JEE mains for admission to B.Tech/B.E. courses is different from Paper 2, that is, for Architecture, general aptitude and drawing skills. Any individual can apply for one/both of them.

Dear aspirant,

JEE main paper 1 and paper 2 is independent to each other. You can give either of them (or) the both of them. The paper 1 will be in January shift while paper 2 will be in April.

The best percentile of these two will be accountable for qualifying into the advance exam. So, giving both of them is preferable. Even if you don't give the first paper , you can give in the April shift.

Hope this helps!
