Hi


  • Paper 1 is for BE/Btech i. e engineering


  • Paper 2 is for B. Arch


  • Paper 3 is for B. Planning


So,

You should choose paper 1 if you want to get admission in engineering, paper 2 if you want to get admission in Architecture and Paper 3 if you want to get admission  in B. Planning.


If you are studying in 12th then you are eligible for jee main 2022 only if you are appearing for 12th board examination 2022 otherwise if you have just moved into 12th then you are not eligible.

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN
