FAQ - JEE Main Paper 2 Syllabus 2023

Is JEE Main Paper 2 Easy?

As per the analysis from previous years, the JEE Main Paper 2 was of moderate difficulty. The Mathematics section in JEE Main 2022, particularly topics like Vector Algebra and Coordinate Geometry, was emphasised more. The drawing section could have been more manageable. However, the General Aptitude section was relatively easier in terms of difficulty.

Does ensuring minimum eligibility mean admission?

No. Ensuring the eligibility criteria for JEE means that the applicant can only apply. It does not ensure any admission. For admission into your preferred college, you must secure the cutoff marks and meet all the eligibility criteria, like minimum marks required in 12th grade or in any particular subject.
