NTA JEE Main 2025 Exam Pattern Revised; Know How it Affects JEE Advanced Preparation

The National Testing Agency has decided to remove the options given to candidates to attempt any 5 questions out of the 10 questions in section B of the JEE Main exam. In JEE Main 2025 and going forward, candidates will be given no options in section B. This means section B of the JEE Main 2025 exam will now have 5 questions rather than 10 and candidates will be required to attempt all the questions.

NTA has released an official notice regarding this change on the official website, nta.ac.in. The notice states that section B of the JEE Main exam was made optional as a temporary measure to accommodate the challenges posed during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been kept in practice till 2024. Since the UN has declared that COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency, the JEE Main exam pattern will be rolled back to its original format.

JEE Main 2025 Pattern - What has Changed?

The JEE Main 2025 examination will revert to its traditional structure, particularly in Section B, which will comprise 5 mandatory questions per subject. Candidates will be expected to attempt all 5 questions with no options available for selection. This format applies to Paper 1 (BE/BTech), Paper 2A (BArch), and Paper 2B (BPlanning).

For comprehensive details on the examination pattern, the Information Bulletin for JEE Main 2025 will provide further insights, which will be released soon. Additionally, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that registration for JEE Main 2025 will commence soon, with specific details to be published on their official websites, nta.ac.in and jeemain.nta.nic.in.

Will JEE Main 2025 Exam Pattern Change Affect JEE Advanced 2025?

No. Although NTA decided to temporarily make section B of the JEE Main exam optional to accommodate the challenges posed during the COVID-19 pandemic, no such measure was taken in the JEE Advanced exam pattern. Thus, changes in the JEE Main 2025 exam pattern will not affect the JEE Advanced pattern and syllabus in any way. Therefore candidates preparing to crack JEE Advanced 2025 must not change their course of JEE Advanced 2025 preparation due to JEE Main 2025 pattern change.

The pattern, syllabus, and structure of JEE Advanced are independent of JEE Mains. Candidates should not anticipate any changes to JEE Advanced 2025 unless officially announced. Details regarding JEE Advanced 2025 will be available on the official website, jeeadv.ac.in. Any modifications to the exam will be communicated to candidates through official notifications. JEE Advanced 2025 is expected to take place in May 2025, with the application form likely to be released in April 2025.
