NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency ( NTA ) on Thursday announced that the optional question format in Section B of JEE Main , introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, will be discontinued starting from 2025 .
Previously, students were given the option to attempt any 5 out of 10 numerical questions in Section B of each subject. This flexible format, introduced in 2021 to accommodate challenges posed by the pandemic, was followed until the 2024 exams. However, starting from JEE Main-2025, Section B will contain only 5 numerical questions per subject, all of which must be answered. This marks a return to the pre-2021 format.
The NTA also announced that the application process for the first phase of JEE Main-2025 will commence soon, with details to be published on NTA's official website. Further information regarding the examination pattern will be provided once the registration process begins.
JEE Main, the national-level entrance exam for engineering courses , consists of three sections: physics, chemistry and mathematics. The three-hour test paper includes a total of 90 questions - 30 from each section. Section A contains 20 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) per subject, while Section B consists of 10 numerical questions. Under the revised pattern, all five questions in Section B will be mandatory.
