JEE Mains Exam 2025 – The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released an official notice announcing changes to the JEE Main exam pattern 2025. The conducting body has removed the provision of optional questions in Section B for both Paper 1 and Paper 2, reverting the exam format to its pre-COVID structure. According to the NTA, these optional questions were initially introduced as a temporary measure to provide relief to candidates due to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

JEE Mains Preparation Strategy 2025
With the new JEE Main paper pattern, many students are uncertain about whether they should adjust their preparation strategies. Aspirants are also unsure if the changes will make the exam more difficult. While it is too early to predict the exact impact, candidates should be prepared for any scenario, as the JEE Main is conducted in multiple shifts, and difficulty levels can vary.
Previously, students had the option to select 5 questions out of 10, and losing this flexibility might make the exam more challenging for some. However, there are others who believe that removing options could be beneficial, as the tough nature of the JEE Main often leads to confusion and wasted time when deciding between two difficult questions.
