JEE Main Exam 2023 Analysis: Mathematics moderate, Physics, Chemistry easy
JEE Main Exam 2023 Analysis is given below for Day 2, Shift 2. The Mathematics section was moderate, Physics and Chemistry was easy. Check complete analysis here.
JEE (Main) 2023 Paper-I exam for Day 2 concluded at 6 pm on January 25, 2023. The students who appeared for the examination had to report to the exam centre at 1.30 pm and the exam started at 3 pm. Paper I difficulty level was moderate for Mathematics and easy for Physics, Chemistry.
Students were not allowed to carry anything inside examination hall except a transparent ball point Pen, Admit Card & Aadhar Card. All guidelines as released by NTA earlier were followed for safety of the exam takers. Every student was made to go through a sanitizing station where they had to sanitize themselves through a foot press lever.
JEE Main Exam 2023: Paper Pattern
There were total 90* questions and Total marks of JEE Main Paper-1 was 300. The paper had three parts & each part had two sections:
