In the last four editions of the engineering entrance test, the question papers contained 90 questions – 20 each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in section A and 10 each from the three subjects in section B. Candidates had to attempt five questions each from the three subjects in section B.
JEE Main 2025 will be conducted twice to shortlist candidates for admission to undergraduate engineering, planning, and architecture courses at Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), and other technical institutions. It will also serve as the screening test for IIT JEE Advanced.
According to the official notice, “Since the declaration of the UN World Health Organization (WHO) on the COVID-19 as an end of Public health emergency on 05 May 2023, it has been decided to discontinue the optional selection of questions.”
Also, “The examination structure would return to its original format, where Section B will contain only 5 (five) questions per subject, and candidates will be required to attempt all 5 (five) questions, without any options for selection in JEE (Main) 2025 for Paper 1 (B.E./B. Tech), Paper 2 A (B Arch) and Paper 2 B (B Planning).”
