Paper Was Moderate to Difficult, Reports Candidate
Candidates found the overall exam to be moderately difficult. Physics was the toughest, followed by Mathematics & Chemistry. The mathematics section was thoroughly divided, having questions from Complex numbers, sequences, and series (1 from GP and one from AP). However, questions from numerical values were straightforward.
Physics was the toughest, Maths and Chemistry Moderate.
The student reactions have started to come, and most candidates have found physics the most difficult section. “There were a lot of tricky questions, says Navneet from Delhi.” However, Maths and Chemistry were of moderate difficulty level. “Some questions were quite easy in Maths and Chemistry, but some were really challenging; the exam was neither tough nor easy, reports Akanksha from Kota.”
Chemistry had mostly theoretical Questions.
As per the reports, the Chemistry section consisted of maximum theoretical questions, which were lengthy and gruelling. “I have appeared in JEE Main 2019 as well, but this time, Chemistry was quite a demanding section. I took maximum time in this section only”, says Amandeep Chaddha from Mumbai.
JEE Main Slot 1 Paper 2 Was of Moderate to Difficult
The student reactions have started to come for JEE Main B.Arch Examination. The first reaction suggests that the exam was moderate to difficult and expected questions had come.
Maths Portion Was Difficult, and Aptitude Was Unchallenging
