Major changes introduced from JEE Main 2020:
- Numerical Value Questions introduced for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry subjects.
- The Total number of questions and Total marks have been revised.
- Paper 2 for B.Arch./B.Planning has now been divided into B.Arch paper and B.Plan. paper. The B.Plan paper is now completely Computer based.
- Check New Pattern
One important change from 2019 is that the JEE (Main) examination will be conducted twice before admissions in the next academic session. Candidates are not required to compulsorily take the test twice though if a candidate appears in both the tests, the better of the two scores will be considered.
Rank vs Marks Series: JEE Main 2019 Rank vs Percentile | JEE Main 2018 Rank vs Marks | JEE Main 2017 Rank vs Marks
The JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced), which the candidates can take if they are seeking admissions to the undergraduate programmes offered by the IITs.
