JEE Main 2024 Exam: Joint Entrance Examination is one of the most significant engineering entrance exams in India.

Paper 1 is organized for admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs (B.E/B.Tech.) at NITs, IIITs, other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs), and Institutions/Universities funded or recognized by participating State Governments.

NTA To Introduce Revised Syllabus For JEE Main 2024?
As per the TOI report, the NTA is expected to introduce a lighter syllabus for the JEE Main 2024. The syllabus has been rationalized, considering the syllabus reductions implemented by several education boards in response to the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. The updated syllabus will be published in conjunction with the information bulletin and registration dates next week, the report further said. Furthermore, NTA intends to provide result dates during the registration process to facilitate candidates and institutions in their admission cycle planning.
The curriculum for the upcoming engineering/architecture entrance examination, scheduled between January and April in 2024, has been crafted with due consideration to the syllabus adjustments made by educational boards nationwide. Various education boards, such as the Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE), and NCERT, had trimmed down the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 in response to the academic disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The present Class 12 cohort was in Class 9 in 2020 when the syllabus rationalization was introduced. Nevertheless, the syllabi for JEE (Main) and NEET-UG remained unaltered.
NTA Director General Subodh Kumar Singh stated that the agency has engaged in discussions with all education boards, and the expert committee is currently in the process of finalizing the syllabus based on these consultations.”The revised syllabus will be notified along with the information bulletin which will be released next week along with the registration dates,” NTA Director General Subodh Kumar Singh was quoted as saying to TOI.
