Exam Pattern : JEE MAIN

Question Papers: There are two question papers,
each of three hours duration. Both the question
papers consist of three separate sections on
Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Questions
in these papers will be of objective type, which
are to be answered on a specially designed
machine-gradable sheet (ORS- optical response
sheet) using HB pencils only. Incorrect answers
are awarded negative marks.
Subject combination for each paper and type of
questions in each paper are given in the table
below:
Subjects Types Of Questions Duration
paper 1 Physics,Chemistry,Mathematics
Objective type questions with equal weight age
to Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics 3 hours
paper 2 Mathematics – Part I
Aptitude Test – Part II & Drawing Test – Part III
Objective type questions

B.E/B.TECH paper 1
B.ARCH/B. PLANNING paper 2
Scoring and Negative Marking:
There will be objective type questions with four
options having single correct answer. For each
incorrect response, one fourth (1/4) of the total
marks allotted to the question would be
deducted. No deduction from the total score
will, however, be made if no response is
indicated for an item in the answer sheet
