Hi,

JEE main is conducted for admission to b.tech, B.E and B.arch courses in  various nits and the engineering colleges in India. It is also conducted to qualify for appearing in JEE advanced. Through JEE advance IITs take the admission in B.E, b tech etc courses.

So if your main aim is IITs you should try for JEE advanced. If not JEE mains exam is enough for you to take admission in the various engeneering institutions in India.

Hope this helps.
