To get admission to B.Tech a candidate must appear for JEE Main paper 1, if a candidate is seeking admission to B.Arch then he/she must appear for JEE Main Paper 2, if a candidate is seeking admission to B.Plan then he/she must appear for JEE Main Paper 3. A candidate can appear for one or all three papers depending on their interest. As JEE Main is conducted twice in a year a candidate can appear for one or both the sessions. If a candidate appear for only one session then the marks scored in that session will be considered. If a candidate appears for both the session then best of two sessions will be considered for admission.  Candidates scoring the minimum cut off marks are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced. This minimum cut off marks changes every year depending on total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. Last year the minimum cut off marks was as follows category wise
