The National Testing Agency runs JEE Main for the Ministry of Education. It is the single national entrance for undergraduate engineering, architecture and planning seats in NITs, IIITs and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions. It also qualifies candidates for JEE Advanced (IITs).
What kind of role this is
This is the entrance exam, not a job. A good NTA score decides your rank for JoSAA/CSAB counselling. Session 1 scores can be used for the 2027 admission cycle; Session 2 (April) is a second chance.
