JEE Main 2022 Analysis of Paper 1 exam held on June 27 forenoon session

(1) There were total 90* questions and Total marks of JEE Main Paper-1 was 300. (* 5 out of 10 questions were to be attempted from Numerical Based section in each subject)

(2) The paper had three parts & each part had two sections:

Part-I: Physics had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response and 0 in all other cases. Total marks of this section were 100.

Part-II: Chemistry had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response and 0 in all other cases. Total marks of this section were 100.

Part-III: Mathematics had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response and 0 in all other cases. Total marks of this section were 100.

(3) Questions covered almost all chapters of Class XI & XII CBSE Board. Balanced Paper as per students in terms of coverage of chapters.

(4) The level of difficultly as per feedback from students on 27th June ,2022 (Forenoon Session).

Mathematics – Moderately Tough level. Questions were asked from all chapters with emphasis on Chapters of Conic Sections & Algebra. Some good questions asked from Chapters like Probability, Determinants, Progressions, Straight Lines & Ellipse, 3 D Geometry, Definite Integrals, Differential Equations. Numerical Section had lengthy calculations. Few questions were reported as Tricky.

Physics: Moderate level. Questions asked from Kinematics, Work, Power & Energy, Heat & Thermodynamics, Electrostatics, Magnetism, AC Circuits, Current Electricity, Modern Physics & Wave Optics. Numerical based questions were easy. Overall, this section was balanced as per students.

Chemistry – Easy Level. Physical Chemistry was given more weightage compared to Inorganic & Organic Chemistry. Numerical Based questions were mostly from Physical Chemistry – Electrochemistry, Mole Concept, Ionic Equilibrium, Solid state. Questions also asked from Chemistry in Everyday Life, Environmental Chemistry, p- block, Phenols, Chemical Bonding, Coordination Chemistry. Fact based questions from NCERT were easy.

(5) In terms of order of Difficulty – Mathematics was Moderately Tough while Chemistry was Easy amongst the three subjects. Overall, this paper was of Moderate level as per students.

(6) Students were given plain papers for rough work.

7) No errors were reported in the question papers.
