JEE Main 2017 Exam Analysis by Ramesh Batlish, FIITJEE:

The Question Paper – I for B.E. / B.Tech courses in 2017 is similar to pattern in the past years 2011 to 2016. Paper has objective type questions Multiple Choice with one out of four correct with equal weightage to Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics.

There are 30 Questions each in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics with marking scheme 4 marks for right answer & for each in-correct response, one-fourth of the total marks allotted to the question would be deducted from the total score. Paper is balanced & is set from CBSE syllabus of Class XI & XII, however as expected many of the questions are conceptual with some needing analytical skills. 25 questions are easy, 53 questions are of moderate difficulty & 12 questions are of relatively difficult. In D Set Q 34 & 54 of Physics are tough and need analytical ability beyond NCERT book /deep study.

In Chemistry there are 2/3 Questions requiring deep conceptual understanding and application. In Mathematics Set-D Q 28 is controversial and few questions are lengthy. However serious students found paper relatively easy compared to last year. In our opinion a Student who attempts paper with cool head, he/she can attempt complete paper. Our Solution will be available on the web & in print by today night.

Overall difficulty level for paper is between easy to moderate. For a student who has been focussed & serious all through the two years in improving speed & accuracy by taking regular quizzes & mock tests on JEEM pattern, must have done reasonably well. It is always relative performance, which matters in such competitive examinations.

JEE Main 2017 Exam Analysis by Aakash Chaudhry, Aakash Educational Services Pvt. Ltd :

Overall the JEE (Main) – 2017 was moderate. Many of the questions in the paper were straight forward and could be solved by a student who has been preparing sincerely for the exam. But some tricky questions were there, which will play crucial role in distinguishing the top scorers. In all the three subjects, 5-6 questions were framed quite differently. However there was no ambiguous question in the paper this year.

In Physics paper, overall questions were on easier side and straight forward as compared to last year. By and large, paper was on the expected lines without any element of surprise. Almost all the topics were covered prescribed by CBSE for JEE (Main).

Mathematics, overall paper was good. 2-3 questions were lengthy, but few questions were straight forward as well. Questions were asked from all Chapters. Questions asked were conceptual and nearer to the JEE advanced paper in terms of tricks and approach. Students confined to NCERT and related text books would find it difficult.

In Chemistry, question paper was quite balanced. Equal weightage was given to Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. However there was no question from topics like States of Matter, Chemistry in Everyday Life. Unlike last year, this year most of the questions were conceptual while lesser number of questions were memory based.
Students with coaching will have an edge in terms of speed and thus overall score.

JEE Main 2017 Exam Analysis by Rajshekhar Ratrey, VP Educational Content, Toppr.com

There have been a lot of similarities between this year’s and last year’s papers. JEE Main, 2017 seems to have been moderately easy yet lengthy, with questions from some subjects being even lengthier than last year. The weightage of marks tilted towards questions from the 12th standard syllabi.

Physics was considered to be moderate in difficulty and length, with most finding it easier than the last year. Students encountered more calculative questions than theory-based. The weightage of marks tilted towards the 12th standard syllabus with 19 questions, while 11 questions were picked from the 11th standard syllabus. Constitutionally, the paper had 11 questions from Mechanics, 8 questions from Electrodynamics, 3 questions from Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory, 2 from Optics and Wave Optics – which was a surprise for most – and 6 questions from Modern Physics and Nuclear Physics.

Chemistry was considered the easiest of all three papers, with a difficulty curve similar to last year. The questions asked this year were more theoretical than calculative, making it the quickest subject to solve. The weightage of marks tilted towards the 12th standard syllabus, with 17 questions chosen from it and the remaining 13 chosen from the 11th standard syllabus. Constitutionally, the paper had 8 questions from Organic Chemistry, 11 from Inorganic Chemistry and 11 from Physical Chemistry.

Mathematics was considered by most to be the most difficult of the three subjects, purely due to its lengthiness, despite being comparatively easier than last year. While questions were based on simple formulae, a lot of them were calculation-based. The weightage of marks was unequal with 20 questions chosen from 12th standard and 10 from 11th standard. Constitutionally, the paper contained 15 questions from Algebra, 6 from Calculus, 3 from Trigonometry, 3 from Conics and 3 from Vector Algebra.
