These updates bring back pre-pandemic rules and make a few adjustments to the exam pattern. Here\u2019s a simple breakdown of what\u2019s new:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Changes in JEE Main 2025<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No More Optional Questions in Section B<\/strong><br>During the pandemic, optional questions were added to Section B, but they\u2019ve now been removed. Students must answer all five numerical value questions in each subject. This goes back to the pre-2021 exam style, so there\u2019s no choice in picking questions anymore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updated Tie-Breaking Rules<\/strong><br>The tie-breaking criteria have been revised. While exact details aren\u2019t out yet, the changes aim to simplify ranking for students with the same scores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Age Limit<\/strong><br>The age restriction has been removed. Now, anyone who meets the educational qualifications can apply, no matter their age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fewer Exam Centers<\/strong><br>The number of exam centers has been reduced. Domestic centers have dropped from 300 to 284, and international centers have also decreased. This might affect accessibility for some students, especially those from overseas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Negative Marking for Numerical Value Questions (NVQs)<\/strong><br>Negative marking will now apply to NVQs. Like multiple-choice questions (MCQs), one mark will be deducted for every incorrect answer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exam Structure Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Paper 1 (B.E.\/B.Tech)<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total: 90 questions (30 each in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section A: 20 MCQs per subject.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section B: 5 mandatory numerical questions per subject.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paper 2A (B.Arch)<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total: 77 questions (Maths, Aptitude, and Drawing).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Drawing section now carries 30% weightage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paper 2B (B.Planning)<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total: 100 questions (Maths, Aptitude, and Planning).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practice with over 500+ past papers here at <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.testbee.in\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.testbee.in\"><strong>www.testbee.in<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Do These Changes Mean for You?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare All Topics<\/strong>: With no optional questions, you\u2019ll need to study every topic thoroughly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be Careful with Answers<\/strong>: Negative marking for NVQs means you need to double-check your calculations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan Ahead<\/strong>: The reduction in exam centers could mean extra travel, so plan your logistics early.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes aim to make the exam more uniform and challenging, so stay focused and adjust your preparation accordingly.
