JEE Main 2025 Revised Exam Pattern
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has recently announced a major change in the pattern of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main) for engineering courses. According to NTA's latest press release, dated October 17, the optional question format in Section B will be discontinued starting next year. This option was initially introduced in 2021 as a relief measure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier, a temporary modification allowed candidates to attempt any five questions out of a total of 10 in Section B. This flexible format was available until the most recent JEE exam. However, the upcoming JEE exam will revert to the pre-pandemic pattern, eliminating this option.
“The examination structure would return to its original format, where Section B will contain only 5 (five) questions per subject, and candidates will be required to attempt all 5 (five) questions, without any options for selection in JEE (Main) 2025 for Paper 1 (B.E./B. Tech), Paper 2 A (B Arch) and Paper 2 B (B Planning),” reads the notification.

Starting from JEE Main 2025, Section B will consist of five mandatory numerical questions per subject, marking a return to the pre-2021 format.
The JEE Main exam will have 300 marks and includes three sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with a total of 90 questions (30 per section). Section A features 20 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) per subject, while Section B, following the updated pattern, will have five compulsory questions.
Each correct answer will get four marks, while one mark will be deducted for every incorrect response due to negative marking.
