Physics

Most students found the Physics section to be of moderate difficulty, with a majority of the questions being numerical. Some questions were calculative and slightly time-consuming, while many theoretical questions were also included. The topic distribution was fairly balanced, covering key areas such as Mechanics, Electrostatics, Optics, and Units & Measurements. However, Modern Physics, Thermodynamics, Waves, and Magnetism had fewer questions, and there were no questions from the EMI and AC chapters.

Chemistry

The Chemistry section was rated easy by most students. Almost all chapters were covered, with Organic and Physical Chemistry being dominant, while Inorganic Chemistry had very few questions. Most theoretical questions were directly based on NCERT, making the section straightforward and scoring.

Mathematics

Mathematics ranged from moderate to difficult, with some questions being lengthy and time-consuming. Topics such as Matrices, Permutations & Combinations, 3D Geometry, Vectors, Conic Sections, and Calculus were prominently featured. While the overall difficulty level was not excessively high, certain questions were both difficult and lengthy, making this section the most challenging.

The JEE Main paper conducted on April 2, 2025, during the evening shift, was rated as moderate in overall difficulty. As per National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited, this session featured a well-structured and balanced paper. Among the three sections, Chemistry was the easiest, Physics was of moderate difficulty, and Mathematics was the most challenging. While the distribution of questions across topics was generally balanced, some chapters were more prominent than others. 

JEE Main 2025 Session 2 Shift 2 has successfully concluded. The answer key and analysis for Paper 1 will be released shortly. 

Since Session 2 of JEE (Main) - 2025 BE/BTech will be conducted in multi-shifts, and NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw (actual) marks obtained by a candidate. The calculated NTA scores for all the shifts will comprise the two NTA scores for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) and the total in BE/BTech of Session  of Paper 1 of JEE (Main) – 2025.

The JEE Main paper 1 official answer keys will be released after the exam gets over on April 9, 2025.

Paper 1 (BE/BTech) is scheduled for April 2, 3, 4, and 7, 2025. The examination on these days will be held in two shifts: 9 am-12 noon (first shift) and 3 pm-6 pm (second shift). Additionally, one exam for Paper 1 BE/BTech will be held on April 8, 2025, in the second shift from 3 pm to 6 pm. NTA has released the admit cards for students appearing in the exam on April 2, 3 and 4. Admit cards for the other exams will be out later. 

The second shift of the exam is being held from 3 pm to 6 pm for Paper 1 (BE/BTech).

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has begun the second shift of the JEE Main Session 2 exam papers at 3 pm today.

"Among the three sections, Physics was the easiest, Mathematics was of moderate difficulty, and Chemistry was the most challenging due to its emphasis on direct NCERT chart-based questions. While the distribution of questions across topics was generally balanced, some chapters were more prominent, whereas others were entirely absent, " said Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Aakash Educational Services Limited.

"The JEE Main paper conducted on 2nd April, 2025, during the morning shift, was rated as moderate in overall difficulty. This session featured a well-structured and balanced paper compared to Session 1, " said Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Aakash Educational Services Limited.
