What is the JEE Main total marks for 2024?

JEE Main 2024 total marks is 300. Each subject, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics carries equal weightage in the exam with 100 marks each. Each subject paper is divided into two sections, Section A with 20 MCQs and Section B with 10 numerical type questions. Candidates are required to answer any 5 questions from Section B.


JEE Main Previous Year Paper Analysis

Based on the JEE Mains paper analysis of last 10 years, the most important chapters in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are-

  • Physics- Current Electricity, Semiconductor, Electrostatistics, Gravitation, Thermodynamics, Dual Nature of Matter, Nuclear Physics, Electromagnetic Waves, Units & Dimensions, Atomic Physics.
  • Chemistry- Coordination Compounds, Chemical Bonding, Solutions, Thermodynamics, Structure of Atom, Chemical Kinetics, Electrochemistry, Biomolecules.
  • Mathematics- 3D Geometry, Sequences and Series, Vector Algebra, Matrices, Sets and Relations, Determinants, Statistics.

Just like all these years, you can expect, Chemistry paper to be based on NCERT books and exemplars, Physics paper with more weightage of numerical type or calculation-based questions and Mathematics paper to be slightly difficult with lengthy calculation.

  • Physics was described as the toughest section conceptually. Mathematics was also high in terms of difficulty level and time-consuming at the same time, since most of the questions were from NCERT in chemistry, it was scaled easy in terms of difficulty level by the candidates.
  • There were a couple of questions from Newton’s law of cooling. 

JEE Main Paper Analysis January Session- January 6 (Morning Shift) 

The morning shift of JEE Main 2020 January session successfully commenced on January 6, 2020. 1,38,409 candidates have registered for B. Arch paper and 59,003 have registered for B. Planning paper. B.Arch and B. Planning papers are being conducted in two shifts on January 6, 2020. As per the initial reactions of the candidates, mathematics section was found to be the toughest. Detailed JEE Main Paper Analysis is as follows:

JEE Main B. Arch Paper Mathematics

Candidates found the mathematics section to be high in terms of difficulty level. Questions were asked from both, maths syllabus of XI and XII. However, as per a lot of test takers, there was more weightage to class XI syllabus in mathematics. Most asked topics were 3D coordinate geometry, distance, etc. There were fewer questions from integration and differentiation. 

JEE Main B. Arch Paper Drawing

Candidates had to answer 2 questions in the drawing section. The second question had 3 choices out of which, one had to be attempted by the candidate. Questions were based on topics like cylinder, school playground, gymnast, grandparents' face etc. Overall the drawing section was found to be difficult by most of the test takers.

JEE Main B. Arch Aptitude

In comparison to the mathematics and drawing sections, aptitude section was found to be comparatively easier by the test takers. Mirror image, 3D figures were some of the asked topics. Some specific questions from the Aptitude section were regarding the location of the Konark temple, correct size of a door, texture of a mirror etc.

JEE Main Exam Analysis January Session- January 6 (Afternoon Shift) 

JEE Main afternoon shift is scheduled between 2.30 PM to 5.30 PM. For candidates taking both B. Arch and B. Planning, the exam will end at 6.00 PM. As expected, candidates found the mathematics section to be the toughest. Planning section was introduced for the first time and a majority of candidates found it easy.

JEE Question Attempting Insights

Question Attempting Insights to Clear JEE Main Cut off

Candidates appearing for JEE Main must have certain strategies for time management, selection of questions and accuracy. All these factors are interdependent on each other and essential for a successful attempt. Candidates should have clarity on how many questions they aim to attempt. They should also have a rough picture on what topics they can or can not attempt.

With the increasing competition in JEE Main, it is a must for the candidates to set specific targets. Here are some section-wise tips which can assist you in finding the accurate paper attempting approach: 

  1. Mathematics: Mathematics level has been easy to moderate since 3 years and topics like Matrices, Vector 3D, Determinants are some of the high scoring topics. Questions from Height and Distance and Trigonometry have not been asked from these chapters in recent years.

A person is likely to score 45-50 marks if he/she attempts 20 questions in Mathematics with 60% accuracy provided the candidate attempts all integer questions(non-negative questions). More emphasis should be laid on attempting integer questions rather than single choice questions.

  1. Physics: For the last 5 years, Physics has been the toughest section of all which includes a lot of lengthy questions. The numerical part of the paper is generally asked from 11th standard whereas the conceptual part is mostly from 12th standard. One must concentrate more on the latter as it is a comparatively scoring part. 

With a 70% accuracy, if a candidate attempts 15 questions of Physics section, he/she can score more than 30 marks.

  1. Chemistry: The Chemistry section is believed to be the easiest one where organic and inorganic questions are more of conceptual type. These questions should be given more focus due to direct correspondence with respective options.

If a candidate is able to attempt 22 Chemistry questions with 80% accuracy, he/she can score more than 60 marks.
