First let me tell you that JEE (Main) 2013 is nothing but the new name of AIEEE 2013 – so if this statement sounds to you as a news item, you should rather go through following two earlier blog post of mine:

Without wasting time further, lets go ahead for the topic of this blog post.
JEE (Main) 2013 Exam pattern/format:
JEE (Main) 2013 exam pattern would be same as the AIEEE in previous years. CBSE has retained the same exam pattern so that the transition from AIEEE to the new JEE is smooth.
As given in the notification, JEE (Main) 2013 will have two papers (as previously in AIEEE) – Paper-I is for B.E./B.Tech entrance while Paper-II is for B.Arch/B.Planning entrance. It means if you are taking JEE (Main) for engineering, you have to appear in Paper-I. On the other hand if you are appearing JEE (Main) for architecture/planning, you have to appear in Paper-II.
JEE (Main) Paper-I Exam Pattern:
It will be of 3 hour-duration, containing Objective type questions from Physics, Chemistry & Maths. Although it is not given in the notification, each question previously used to be of 4 marks and there are 30 questions in each subject. Thus, there are 90 questions in total for 360 marks, which has to be answered in 3 hours.
With this, exam pattern of JEE (Main) Paper-I will be as given in the table at right above.
JEE (Main) Paper-II Exam Pattern:
JEE (Main) Paper-II is for architecture/planning – it will have following three parts:
Part-I: Maths (Objective type questions)
Part-II: Aptitude Test (Objective type questions)
Part-III: Drawing Test.
It will be also of 3 hour-duration.
Negative marking in JEE (Main) 2013:
There will be negative marking for the objective type questions – 1/4th mark for each wrong answer (i.e. -1) ! So you need to make wise guess!
Download JEE (Main) 2013 Exam Syllabus:
Similar to the exam pattern, CBSE has retained the same exam syllabus for JEE (Main) 2013 as AIEEE in previous years. I just compared the syllabus of AIEEE 2012 with the syllabus of JEE (Main) 2013 - they are verbatim! Each word is matching.

JEE (Main) 2013 Sample Papers (Free Download):
Now as both the syllabus and the exam pattern of JEE (Main) 2013 is same as AIEEE, you can use the previous year’s AIEEE exam papers as the sample papers for JEE (Main) 2013.
While I started searching these sample papers for JEE (Main) 2013 for you, I came across a number of websites where the papers were promised. Many of them led me to links unknown, while some others actually gave those papers. But then, since I wanted to enable you to download these exam papers fast and free, I narrowed down my search to FIITJEE website.
Why I preferred the FIITJEE AIEEE pdf papers is because they are small in size (average 300 KB) enabling you to download fast - and yes, they are indeed free! After arriving at FIITJEE website, click the "+" sign next to "AIEEE solutions" of "Downloads" section as shown at right and you can than download these AIEEE Previous 9 Years Solved pdf papers.
I have also uploaded these exam papers in the box.net website, so that if the FIITJEE site is down, you can still download these sample papers for JEE (Main) 2013. Click here to find the JEE (Main) 2013 Sample/Model papers.
