Hello Bharath,
JEE paper 1 is about B. Arch used to get entrance into NATA and other architectural colleges. Paper 2 is about B. Tech which is used to get admission into engineering colleges such as IIT.
Since there are 2 lakh students writing the test at a time the sessions are divided into 8 days which means around 40000 students write paper one day. After the exams are over the final is calculated from the marks from all the session.
