Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing good. We are here to answer all your query related to JEE Mains. Below I have mentioned all the details about JEE Mains.

Knowing the JEE Main 2021 exam pattern is crucial for candidates and students appearing for the IIT JEE exam. Candidates who closely observe and follow the exam pattern will not only be able to prepare a successful study plan but they can ultimately perform well and achieve a better result in the exam.

From 2019 onwards, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has been granted the authority to design and develop the JEE Main syllabus as well as set the exam pattern. While there were a few modifications made to the exam pattern in 2019, for the 2021 exam NTA has yet again introduced some new changes. They are as follows.

  • Four sessions of the exam instead of two. The Paper 1 exam will be held in February, March, April and May. However, Paper 2A and Paper 2B (B. Arch & B. Planning) will be held only twice a year (February & May 2021).
  • Paper 1 will now consist of 90 questions where 20 questions will be asked in section a and 10 in section b. Students can answer a total of 75 questions – 20 questions in section a and 5 questions in section b for each subject – Physics, Chemistry, and Maths.
  • Paper 2A is only set for B.Arch courses. It will consist of 82 total questions out of which students can attempt only 77 questions (Mathematics- 25; Aptitude- 50; Drawing- 2). The total marks allotted is 400.
  • Paper  2B will consist of 105 questions and students can attempt 100 questions. The paper will also be out of 400 marks.
  • For Paper 2A and Paper 2B, candidates can answer any 5 out of the 10 questions in numerical value-based part in the Mathematics section.
  • The question papers will be set in 13 different languages.

JEE Main mainly consists of three papers and will be conducted in two shifts – morning and evening. The general layout of the exam pattern for JEE Main is given below;

Paper 1: B.E/B.Tech
