Changes in the test as well
The JEE Mains, which operates after two years in Covid, looks likely to be a bit tougher this time around. Experts say this is due to changes in the testing process. For the last two years there has been a negative marking in Section-A. Now it is also included in Section-B. Putting this to the numerical questions given in this section will require the students to give a quick answer. This question paper is for a total of 20 marks. Meanwhile, a total of 90 (4 marks per question) questions must be answered in the past. This brings the total number of marks to 360. Now 75 out of 90 questions have to be answered. The remaining 15 can be taken as a choice. With this the question paper will be only 300 marks.

‘Main’ difficulties for students
The National Testing Agency has revived the tie-breaker policy, which was abolished in 2021. The uniqueness of this approach is that age is also taken as a standard when achieving a score equal to the ranks. Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry marks will be taken into consideration before two students achieve equivalent marks in the examination. The ratio of wrong answers is then examined subject-wise. Age is taken into consideration if there are still equal marks. Even then if the two are equal, the ranks are determined by looking at who has applied earlier. The first phase of the JEE Mains exam will be held from July 23 to 29, followed by the second installment from July 21 to 30. Nearly 11 lakh people across the country are writing this test.
