JEE Main Exam Pattern 2025: Significant Changes Announced

The exam pattern for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 has seen important modifications that will influence student preparation strategies. One of the most significant updates is the removal of optional questions in Section B, requiring students to attempt all questions in this section. This change aims to simplify the evaluation process and encourage a deeper understanding of the subjects. For more details on the revised JEE Main 2025 exam pattern, read on.

Major Changes in JEE Main 2025

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced significant updates to the exam pattern for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025. Students preparing for the exam should pay close attention to these changes to adjust their study strategies accordingly.

Removal of Optional Questions in Section B

One of the key changes for JEE Main 2025 is the elimination of optional questions in Section B. Previously, candidates had the option to select a few questions in this numerical-based section, but this flexibility has been removed. Now, all questions in Section B will be mandatory for every candidate.

This format of optional questions was introduced in 2021 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, following the World Health Organization’s declaration on May 5, 2023, stating the end of the COVID pandemic, this option has been revoked. Students will now face five compulsory questions in this section.

JEE Main Exam Pattern 2025

The JEE Main exam consists of two sections. Section A will feature multiple-choice questions (MCQs), while Section B will include five numerical-based questions. With the removal of optional questions in Section B, students must be fully prepared to answer every question.

*Each subject will have two sections: Section A will contain Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), and Section B will consist of questions requiring numerical answers. In Section B, candidates must attempt all five questions. There will be negative marking for both sections. For Section B, candidates need to enter the correct integer value using the mouse and the on-screen virtual numeric keypad in the designated answer field, rounding off the answer to the nearest integer.
