Doubts on JEE? Please help!

I have so many doubts about JEE.

First please clear me what is paper 1 and paper 2. Some say only B.arch aspirants take that. Some say without writing paper 2 you can get seat only in NIT's not in IIT's.

Next if I get good scores in paper 2 i.e, I'm eligible to study in IIT's but not so in paper 2 then can I give up architecture and chose engineering.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

See, basically, the 'Paper 2' you are talking about is written by Architecture aspirants. That paper needs a special level of knowledge like drawing, and is partly Aptitude based.

So, if you write Paper 2, you will get a seat in B.Des / B.Arch, but not a B.Tech / B.E seat. And if you write Paper 2 in JEE-Mains, you will be alloted a seat in NITs for Architecture only.

To enter IITs (for a B.Arch seat), you will have to give the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) , that is usually held a few weeks after JEE- Advanced.

If I write both the papers and got the cut off in paper 1 but not in paper 2, then can I opt for B.E?

Even if you cross the cutoff for Paper 2, you won't get a seat for B.Tech /B.E. What I mean is that, Paper 2 doesn't matter for B.E, as far as JEE Mains is considered.
