Every year, lakhs of students across the country write the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main to get admission into the sought-after NITs, IIITs, and Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs). The exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) twice a year, over multiple days in each session and two shifts – morning and evening shift – in a day. The JEE Main 2020 was held in January 2020 (session 1) and September 2020 (session2).
Benefits of Solving JEE Main Papers
The key benefits of solving previous years’ JEE Main papers are as follows:
You familiarise yourself with the exam pattern, type of questions asked, and marking scheme
Helps you evaluate the level of your preparation and performance
You get to identify the areas of the syllabus you need more practice with
Your timing improves with regular practice
Once you master old papers, you gain confidence and get exam-ready
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has published the official answer keys for the JEE Main 2020 question papers on its official website. These answer keys were made available during the third week of January and the second week of September. They provide accurate solutions to all the questions from the exam. Essentially, candidates can verify the right answers and estimate their provisional JEE Main scores before the official results are declared by the exam conducting authority.
The paper duration is 3 hours. Each correct answer earns 4 marks, and each wrong answer leads to a deduction of ¼ marks. Multiple answers with errors attract a ¼ mark deduction. Unattempted questions receive no marks. The paper consists of three subjects: Mathematics (25 questions at 4 marks each), Physics (25 questions at 4 marks each), and Chemistry (25 questions at 4 marks each), totaling 75 questions.
