Today, 25th January 2023, witnessed the second day of JEE Main Session 1 paper. NTA conducted the exam in two shifts, each of three hours. The shift I or morning shift timings were from 9 AM to 12 PM, while the evening shift or shift II timings were from 3 PM to 6 PM. The gateway to B. Tech. in prestigious IITs and NITs asks 90 questions with positive and negative marking schemes. Each question carries four marks for a correct answer, while an incorrect answer leads to a deduction of one mark. Unattempted questions do not account for the deduction of marks.
Questions belong to the three core subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. There are multiple-choice questions, where one correct option has to be chosen from four options, and numerical-type questions, where a number needs to be entered indicating the correct answer. The mode of examination for the paper I is online, where students reach the center and use the provided computer and internet to answer the questions.
