Immediate reaction from students after the exam

There were total 90* questions and Total marks of JEE Main Paper-1 was 300.

(* 5 out of 10 questions were to be attempted from Numerical Based section in each subject)

The paper had three parts & each part had two sections:

• Part-I– Physics had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response and 0 in all other cases. Total marks of this section were 100.
• Part-II– Chemistry had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response and 0 in all other cases. Total marks of this section were 100.
• Part-III– Mathematics had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response and 0 in all other cases. Total marks of this section were 100.
• Questions covered almost all chapters of Class XI & XII CBSE Board. It was a balanced paper.

The level of difficultly as per feedback from students on 27th June,2022 (Afternoon Session).

• Mathematics – Moderately Tough Level. Weightage was given to chapters of Conic Sections and Calculus. Questions asked from Parabola, Circle, Definite Integrals, Limits & Continuity, Matrices, Vectors, 3D Geometry. Both MCQs and Numerical Based questions required lengthy calculations. This section was also tricky as per few students.
• Physics – Easy to Moderate level. Weightage given to chapters of Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Rotational Motion, Heat & Thermodynamics, SHM & Waves, Current Electricity, Optics and Modern Physics. Numerical based questions were reported as Easy. This section was balanced.
• Chemistry – Easy level. Physical Chemistry was given more weightage in Numerical Section as compared to Organic & Inorganic Chemistry. Weightage given to Alcohols, Ethers & Phenols, Aryl & Alkyl halides in Organic Chemistry. Ionic Equilibrium, Mole Concept, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics. Inorganic Chemistry had questions from s-block, p-block, Chemical Bonding and Metallurgy.

In terms of order of Difficulty – Maths was Moderately Tough while Chemistry was reported Easy. Overall, this paper was Moderate level as per students.
