The National Testing Agency (NTA) is concluding the application process for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains today. This year, JEE is being held four times in one year, usually, it’s held twice a year. JEE Main score is the entrance gateway for the IIT entrance exam JEE Advanced and grants admission to NITs, IIITs, and several other institutes across India based on merit.
