Hello,

JEE Main Paper 2 is specifically designed for students who want to pursue Architecture (B.Arch) or Planning (B.Plan) courses. It is different from JEE Main Paper 1, which is for engineering (B.Tech). Paper 2 is divided into two parts: Paper 2A is for B.Arch and includes subjects like Mathematics, Aptitude, and a Drawing Test. Paper 2B is for B.Plan and includes Mathematics, Aptitude, and Planning-based questions (no drawing). The exam is held in computer-based mode, except the drawing part, which is done on paper. If you want to join institutes like NITs or SPAs for Architecture or Planning, this exam is required. The marks from Paper 2 are used for counselling via JoSAA or state-level counselling bodies. The eligibility is 10+2 with Mathematics as a compulsory subject. It’s a creative and logical test, so preparation should involve both technical and design skills.

All the best!
