The JEE Main is used as an entrance examination for admission to the undergraduate engineering courses at National Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes for Information Technology and other institutions run by some state governments. The top 2.24 lakh students will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2019 which is the admission test for the Indian Institutes of Technology.
This was the first time that JEE was a completely digital examination, and also the first time it was held twice, once in January and once in April. Students were free to decide whether they wished to attempt the examination twice. Of the 11.47 lakh students, 6.08 lakh appeared in both. Of those, a little over half actually did better in their first attempt.
For economically weaker sections, the cut-off is an NTA score of 78.21, for Other Backward Classes, it was 74.31, for Scheduled Castes, it was 54.01, and for Scheduled Tribes, it was 44.33.
