JEE Main April session exam 2026 Live: Check paper analysis of shift one, two

JEE Main shift two was analysed as moderate, as per students. Meanwhile, the Maths and Chemistry paper in shift one were analysed as difficult, while Physics paper was reviewed as easy.   

As per Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited, "the Mathematics section was moderate to difficult and the most time-consuming. Questions were well distributed across the syllabus, with higher weightage from Integral Calculus, Conic Sections, and Algebra. Topics such as 3D Geometry, Vectors, and Complex Numbers had average representation. Algebra appeared slightly dominant, while Coordinate Geometry had moderate coverage. Lengthy calculations and tricky problems made this section the toughest."  

The Chemistry section was moderate in difficulty. Questions were almost evenly distributed among Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry, with slightly greater emphasis on Inorganic Chemistry and comparatively fewer questions from Organic Chemistry. While not very difficult, some questions were calculation-intensive and time-consuming, which impacted overall time management. 

As per Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, Aakash Educational Services Limited, "among the three subjects, Mathematics was the most difficult. Physics was easy to moderate, while Chemistry was moderate to difficult due to its calculation-intensive nature. Both Mathematics and Chemistry were time-consuming, making it challenging to complete the paper within the given time. Overall, the paper was well-balanced in terms of question distribution and chapter coverage." 

According to Ramesh Batlish, JEE expert, "the Maths paper was analysed as moderate. Questions asked from Matrices & Determinants, 3 D Geometry, Vectors, Permutation & Combination, Probability, Complex Numbers, Statistics, Progressions, Quadratic Equations, Set ,Relations & Function, Continuity & Differentiability, Application of Derivative, Definite Integrals, Differential Equations, Area, Straight Line, Circle , Conic Sections . The Numerical Section had lengthy calculations from chapters of Algebra & Coordinate Geometry. A few questions were reported as lengthy and tricky."
