Between 2021 and 2024, NTA provided 30 optional questions in both Engineering and Architecture/Planning papers.
The Engineering papers had 90 questions – 20 each from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics in section A and 10 each from the three subjects in section B. Candidates had to attempt five questions each from the three subjects in section B.
Next year, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics will have 25 questions each in JEE Mains paper 1.
