Overview

Dreaming of becoming an engineer? JEE Main 2025 is your first big step! Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), this exam opens doors to top engineering colleges like NITs, IIITs, and even qualifies you for JEE Advanced to aim for the IITs. It happened in two sessions this year—Session 1 from January 29 to 31, 2025, and Session 2 from April 4 to 9, 2025. It’s a computer-based test that checks your knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths. Let’s get you ready!

Exam Details

Knowing the exam structure helps you prepare better. Here’s what JEE Main 2025 looks like:

• Format: The exam has 90 questions, totaling 300 marks, and you get 3 hours to finish. Each subject—Physics, Chemistry, and Maths—has 30 questions: 20 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and 10 numerical questions (you only need to attempt 5 of the numerical ones per section).
• Scoring: For MCQs, you get +4 for a correct answer, -1 for a wrong one, and 0 if you skip. Numerical questions have no negative marking, so guess away if you’re unsure!
• Languages: You can take the exam in 13 languages, like English, Hindi, Tamil, or Gujarati, making it accessible for everyone.
• Eligibility: You need to have passed Class 12 in 2023 or 2024, or be appearing in 2025, with Physics, Maths, and one of Chemistry, Biology, or Biotech as subjects. There’s no age limit, so anyone can apply!

Syllabus Highlights

The JEE Main syllabus comes from Class 11 and 12 NCERT books. Focus on these important topics to score well:

• Physics: Mechanics (20% of questions, think Kinematics or Newton’s Laws), Electrodynamics (15%, like Current Electricity), and Optics (10%, such as Ray Optics and Lenses).
• Chemistry: Organic Chemistry (20%, focus on Hydrocarbons and Reactions), Inorganic (15%, like the Periodic Table and Coordination Compounds), and Physical Chemistry (15%, such as Thermodynamics or Mole Concept).
• Maths: Algebra (20%, including Matrices and Determinants), Calculus (15%, like Integration and Differentiation), and Coordinate Geometry (10%, think Circles and Straight Lines).

Preparation Tips

Preparing for JEE Main can feel overwhelming, but these tips will make it easier:

• Start with NCERT: About 70–80% of questions come from NCERT books. Read every chapter carefully, especially Maths examples and Chemistry reactions.
• Practice Every Day: Solve at least 60 questions daily—20 from each subject. This builds your speed and helps you spot weak areas.
• Take Mock Tests: Try 1–2 mock tests every week on the NTA website (nta.ac.in). It’s like a practice run for the real exam!
• Revise Smartly: Keep formula sheets for Physics, equation lists for Maths, and reaction charts for Chemistry. Revise them weekly to remember better.
• Stay Healthy: Study in 1-hour blocks, take 5-minute breaks, and sleep 7 hours a night. A quick walk can help you recharge and stay focused.

Key Updates

JEE Main 2025 had 9 lakh candidates in Session 1, and Session 2 results were announced on May 15, 2025. NTA also introduced a new tie-breaking rule: if scores are tied, they’ll look at your Maths marks first, then Physics, then Chemistry, to decide the rank.

Conclusion

JEE Main 2025 is your ticket to a top engineering college! With regular practice, NCERT as your best friend, and a calm mindset, you can crack this exam and start your engineering journey. Don’t wait—begin your preparation today!
