The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 Session 2, Shift 1 has officially concluded, and students have shared their experiences regarding the paper’s difficulty level. As one of the most crucial exams for engineering aspirants, JEE Main sets the stage for admissions to prestigious institutions like IITs, NITs, and other top engineering colleges across India.
Overall Difficulty Level & Subject-Wise Analysis
According to early reviews, the paper was of moderate to difficult level, with variations across subjects.
Mathematics: Considered the toughest section by most students, it featured lengthy and complex questions from calculus, algebra, and coordinate geometry. Some found the questions time-consuming, requiring strong problem-solving skills.
Physics: Moderately difficult, with a mix of conceptual and numerical-based questions. Topics like mechanics, electrostatics, and optics were given significant weightage. Students noted that NCERT-based questions were present but required deep understanding.
Chemistry: The easiest among the three, with a balanced mix of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Many questions were directly from NCERT textbooks, making it relatively scoring for students who had prepared well.
Student Reactions
Students had mixed reactions to the exam. While some found the paper manageable, others struggled with time management, especially in the Mathematics section. Many candidates expressed relief that Chemistry was easier, compensating for the difficulty in other subjects.
Expected Cutoff & Expert Opinions
Coaching experts predict that the cutoff might remain similar to previous years, with high scores expected in Chemistry. The final cutoff will depend on the overall performance of candidates across all shifts.
