The JEE Main 2025 exam held on January 28, 2025 (morning shift) was rated as moderate to difficult overall. According to experts, Chemistry was the easiest, while Mathematics was the most challenging due to lengthy calculations. Physics was of moderate difficulty, with some tough questions.
Subject-Wise Analysis
Physics: The section had a mix of moderate and difficult questions, with some at the JEE Advanced level. Many questions were theoretical. Topics like Mechanics, Waves, and Thermodynamics were well-covered, but Modern Physics and Magnetism had fewer questions. Notably, Alternating Currents (AC) and Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) were missing.
Chemistry: This was the easiest section and helped students save time. It covered almost all chapters, with more questions from Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. Organic Chemistry had fewer questions. Many questions were directly from NCERT, making them simple to answer.
Mathematics: This was the most difficult section due to lengthy calculations. The questions were moderate to difficult, with topics like 3D Geometry, Vectors, Binomial Theorem, and Conic Sections appearing frequently. Algebra had a strong presence, while Calculus had fewer questions. The time-consuming nature of the problems made this section tough.
