Changes in JEE Main Syllabus & Exam Pattern
JEE Main- Syllabus, Exam Pattern & Eligibility Update:
For JEE 2020, many changes in Exam Pattern & Criteria have been introduced by NTA (approved by the Ministry of Human Resource Development).
Below are the major changes that B.Tech/ B.Arch / B.Planning Aspirants must go through if you plan to appear for JEE Main from onwards.
For B.Tech:
Subjects: Physics, Chemistry & Maths
For the first time in 15 years of JEE, the number of questions for JEE Main Paper has been reduced and the types of questions have also been changed. Previously, Engineering (B.E. / B.Tech) aspirants had to solve three subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) - each having 30 multiple choice questions. Now instead of 30 questions in all three subjects there will be 25 questions. There will be 20 multiple choice questions, while the remaining 5 questions will come with answers to the numeric value. The weightage of the three papers will be equal.
For B.Arch:
Subjects: Maths, Aptitude, Drawing Test
There will be fewer questions in B.Arch Paper, compared to years before 2020.
- MCQs: 20 Questions
- Objective Type: 5 Questions
- Drawing Paper: 2 Questions
Earlier, B.Arch applicants had to appear for 3 drawing questions. The Aptitude Test will be of 50 marks.
For B.Planning:
Subjects: Maths, Aptitude & Planning
- Now, Maths is the only compulsory subject that students must have in Grade 11th & 12th in order to be eligible for taking JEE (B.Planning).
- Drawing Test will no longer be taken from B. Planning JEE Applicants.
- The syllabus & exam pattern for Maths & Aptitude will be the same for B.Arch & B.Planning Papers.
- For Planning, 25 Questions will be asked in the B.Planning Paper.
