Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are in JEE Main 2027?
JEE Main 2027 Paper 1 (BE/BTech) has 75 questions — 25 each in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Each subject has 20 MCQs and 5 numerical value questions. Total marks: 300. Duration: 180 minutes. From 2026 onwards, Section B has no optional questions — all 5 numerical questions are compulsory.
Is JEE Main mock test free on HenceProve?
Yes, all JEE Main mock tests on HenceProve are completely free. You get access to mock tests from 2020 to 2027 with detailed solutions and AI analysis.
What is the marking scheme for JEE Main?
JEE Main follows +4 for correct answers and -1 for incorrect answers in Section A (MCQs). For Section B (numerical questions): +4 for correct, 0 for incorrect (no negative marking). No marks are deducted for unattempted questions.
How many times can I attempt JEE Main?
You can attempt JEE Main twice a year (January and April sessions) for up to 3 consecutive years after Class 12. The best score from both sessions is considered for ranking.
What is the JEE Main 2026 cutoff?
JEE Main 2026 qualifying cutoffs (percentile, for JEE Advanced eligibility): General 93.41, GEN-EWS 82.42, OBC-NCL 80.92, SC 63.92, ST 52.02. Every category cutoff rose versus 2025 (General was 93.10). You must clear your category cutoff to qualify for JEE Advanced.
What is the duration of JEE Main exam?
JEE Main is a 3-hour (180 minutes) exam conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode. Available in 13 languages.
What is the JEE Main syllabus?
JEE Main syllabus covers Physics (20 units), Chemistry (20 units), and Mathematics (14 units) based on Class 11 and 12 NCERT curriculum. High-weightage topics include Electrostatics, Optics, Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, and p-Block Elements.
How is the JEE Main percentile calculated across different shifts?
Because JEE Main runs in multiple shifts of slightly varying difficulty, NTA converts raw marks to percentile scores using equipercentile normalisation — your percentile says what fraction of candidates in YOUR shift you scored better than. The NTA then merges percentiles across shifts to build the rank list. This is why percentiles, not raw marks, decide your rank.
If I appear in both JEE Main sessions, which score counts?
Your best NTA score across the two sessions counts. Session 2 is also a genuine second chance: you can reappear to improve, and there is no penalty for a lower Session 2 score. Registration for Session 2 is a separate, shorter window usually open in February.
What are JEE Main Paper 2A and 2B?
Paper 2A is for B.Arch admission (Mathematics, Aptitude and Drawing test — the drawing part is offline) and Paper 2B is for B.Planning (Mathematics, Aptitude and Planning-based questions). Both are separate papers from Paper 1 (BE/BTech) and have their own question counts and merit lists.
What is the eligibility criteria for JEE Main 2027?
You must have passed Class 12 (or be appearing) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. For admission to NITs/IIITs/GFTIs via JoSAA you need 75% aggregate in Class 12 (65% for SC/ST) or top-20-percentile board standing. There is no age limit; you can attempt JEE Main in up to 3 consecutive years, twice per year.
In how many languages is JEE Main conducted?
JEE Main is available in 13 languages: English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. You choose your medium at registration, and question papers are bilingual for most choices.
How to Prepare for JEE Main
Focus on NCERT books for Physics and Chemistry as most questions are NCERT-based
Practice at least 20-30 questions daily per subject
Solve previous year papers from 2019-2025 to identify patterns
Take full-length mock tests weekly to build exam stamina
Master integration, differentiation, and trigonometry for Mathematics
Revise thermodynamics, optics, and electrostatics for Physics
Practice numerical value questions (Section B) as they have no negative marking
Focus on high-weightage chapters: Electrostatics (8-12%), Calculus (8-12%), Coordinate Geometry (9-14%)
Keep an error log from every mock — percentile jumps come from fixing repeated mistake patterns, not from new chapters
In the last 3 weeks, attempt one full 3-hour CBT mock every 2-3 days in your actual shift timing to lock in stamina and strategy
