JEE Mains 2025 Highlights: Day 2 exam ends

JEE Mains 2025 Live: Based on student feedback, the section can be ranked in order of difficulty as follows:

Mathematics > Chemistry > Physics

JEE Mains 2025 Live: Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited said that Mathematics section ranged from moderate to difficult. Questions were evenly distributed across nearly all chapters, with Calculus being the most prominent. Topics such as 3D Geometry, Algebra, Vectors, Binomial Theorem, and Conic Sections also had a significant presence. Although the difficulty level of the questions was not excessively high, many involved lengthy and time-consuming calculations, making this section the most challenging for many students.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: According to Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited, Chemistry was rated as easy to moderate and was a major time-saver. The section covered almost all chapters, with Organic Chemistry dominating in terms of the number of questions. Inorganic Chemistry was well-represented, while Physical Chemistry featured comparatively fewer questions. Most theoretical questions were directly based on NCERT, ensuring familiarity for the students. However, a few questions were reported to be outside the syllabus, though they were not particularly challenging. Overall, the Chemistry section allowed students to complete it quickly, giving them more time to focus on other sections.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: “The Physics section was considered easy by most students. While the distribution of questions across topics appeared balanced, certain chapters were missing. Key topics like Mechanics, Waves, and Thermodynamics were covered, but chapters such as Optics and Electromagnetism had a stronger presence. Questions from Modern Physics were fewer in number, and chapters like Alternating Currents (AC), EMI, and Magnetism were underrepresented. There were no questions on instrument-related topics, and topics like Laws of Motion and Elasticity were absent”, said Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited

JEE Mains 2025 Live: According to the paper analysis of shift 1 by Academic Desk, Vidyamandir Classes, the difficulty level of shift 1 appears to align closely with expectations.

“According to students, the Mathematics section was relatively lengthy and leaned toward the difficult side, making it slightly more challenging to manage time effectively. The questions were largely based on mixed concepts, which tested the students' conceptual understanding and problem-solving abilities,” it said.

However, Physics and Chemistry sections were easier, ranging from easy to moderate difficulty levels. Physics was primarily formula-based, and around 60% of the questions came from the Class 12 syllabus, while the remaining 40% were based on the Class 11 syllabus. The distribution of questions seemed well-balanced in terms of topics covered, according to students.

The Chemistry section was heavily NCERT-based, with a good balance across physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, providing an advantage to students who focused on NCERT textbooks during their preparation.

“Overall, the paper was balanced, with varying difficulty levels across subjects. The Mathematics section stood out as the most challenging, while Physics and Chemistry provided some relief. Due to the easy-to-moderate nature of most of the paper, it is anticipated that the cutoff may go slightly higher this time,” it noted.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: The Shift 2 of JEE Mains 2025 has begun.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: Paper 2 of JEE Mains 2025 will be conducted on January 30 for BArch/BPlanning.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: Many students who appeared for the Shift 1 examination said that the overall paper was easy to moderate, but the Mathematics section was tough, Physics was moderate, and Chemistry was easy.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: Day 2 Shift 2 examination will begin in 30 minutes. Keep checking this space for guidelines, analysis and more.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: The JEE Main Paper I examination will be held on January 22, 23, 24, 28 and 29, 2025 in two shifts- first shift from 9 am to 12 noon and second shift from 3 pm to 6 pm. The JEE Main Paper II will be held on January 30, 2025 in single shift- from 3 pm to 6.30 pm.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: Based on student feedback, the sections can be ranked by difficulty level as follows: Mathematics > Physics > Chemistry. This analysis highlights the need for effective time management and strategic preparation to perform well in future examinations.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: The Mathematics section, on the other hand, ranged from moderate to difficult. Questions from Class 11 chapters were fewer, with Class 12 topics like Calculus, 3D Geometry and Vectors, and Conic Sections dominating in terms of numbers. While the questions were not overly complex, many involved lengthy calculations, making this section time-consuming. For several students, Mathematics emerged as the most challenging part of the paper, as per Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: “In Chemistry, the paper covered almost all chapters, though certain units dominated. The section was considered the easiest and served as a significant time-saver for most students. Organic Chemistry was the most prominent, with straightforward questions that often resembled past-year problems. Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry had fewer questions comparatively. Overall, Chemistry was quick to solve and allowed students to allocate more time to the other sections”, said Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited.

JEE Mains 2025 Live: According to Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited, Physics section was perceived as easy to moderate by most students. The majority of the questions were drawn from Class 12 topics, with relatively fewer from Class 11. Chapters like Mechanics, Waves, and Thermodynamics were less emphasized in this shift. However, Class 12 topics such as Optics and Electromagnetism had a stronger presence. Questions from Modern Physics were moderate in number, while chapters like Alternating Currents (AC), EMI, and Magnetism were underrepresented. Notably, there was a good number of instrument-related questions, adding variety to the section.
