JEE syllabus is developed with expert input, NTA officials claim. The majority of the courses covered in the JEE Main curriculum are from NCERT Classes 11 and 12. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some academic boards, including CISCE and CBSE, shortened the syllabus for Class 12.

Concurrently, the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) overseeing body, the JEE Apex Board (JAB), has been ordered by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to restructure its administrative composition and board structure. The Joint Admission Board (JAB) will now collaborate with the body that oversees the JEE (Advanced) test in addition to being in charge of developing guidelines and regulations for the JEE (Main) exam. The entrance test is intended for students who want to enrol in IITs, NITs, and other centrally backed technical institutions UG engineering degrees, among others.
