Candidates have to attempt only 75 questions out of 90 questions. Each subject contains 20 MCQs and 10 numerical questions. 5 out of 10 numerical questions are optional. Numerical questions don't have any negative marking. But if you wish to attempt all 10 numerical questions in JEE mains 2020 you can attempt, but again while correcting only 5 correct questions out of 10 questions are considered even if you write all 10 questions correct.

And these questions are from three sections/subjects :-

*  30 questions are from physics

* 30 questions are from maths

Out of 30 questions in each subject ,A section will have 20 questions which are MCQs and B section will have 10 questions are questions with numerical value as the answer , out of which only 5 questions are  to be attempted.
So, out of 30 questions in each subject only 25 questions are to be attempted, so in total  25 x 3 = 75 questions out of 90 questions are to be attempted.
