JEE Main 2023 Exam Timings, Pattern & Marking Scheme
The Exam would be conducted in two shifts on the exam dates in both Session 1 and Session 2. The first shift will be from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and Second Shift from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Exam Pattern for Paper-1:
BE/ BTech (Computer-Based Test)
Mathematics- Sec A: 20MCQs and Sec-B- 05 Questions to be attempted out of 10 Numerical value questions
Physics- Sec A: 20 MCQs and Sec-B- 05 Questions to be attempted out of 10 Numerical value questions
Chemistry- Sec A: 20MCQs and Sec-B- 05 Questions to be attempted out of 10 Numerical value questions
Paper 2A: For BArch (Computer Based Test except Drawing Test is pen and paper (Offline) mode to be attempted on a drawing sheet of A4 Size)
Mathematics (Part-I) Sec A: 20 MCQs and Sec-B- 05 Questions to be attempted out of 10 Numerical value questions
Aptitude Test (Part-II) 50 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
Drawing Test (Part-III) 2 Questions
Paper 2B: For BPlanning (Computer-Based Test)
Mathematics (Part-I) Sec A: 20 MCQs and Sec-B- 05 Questions to be attempted out of 10 Numerical value questions
Aptitude Test (Part-II) 50 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
Planning (Part-III) 25 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
Marking Scheme
For MCQs as well as Numerical Value Questions, the marking scheme followed is +4 for the correct response, -1 for an incorrect response, and 0 marks if left unanswered/ marked for review. There is a negative marking in both Section A (MCQ-type questions) and Section B (Numerical value).
How to Prepare for JEE Main in the One Month?
Sharing how students can ace the exam by preparing well in a month, JEE mentor Harpreet Singh Saluja shares his tips for students.
A serious aspirant ideally must have completed the syllabus by now. The following points would, however, count.
Time Management: Proper planning is most important for timely preparation and dealing with study pressure. By now serious students must have evaluated their preparation or been informed about the same by their teachers. So, this is the time to consolidate your preparation and ensure that you do extremely well in the actual JEE(Main) exam.
All three subjects Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics are equally important. So, divide these crucial remaining weeks aptly into the three subjects
Prepare a chapter-wise and topic-wise revision schedule for your weaker topics.
Create short notes and list all formulae & points to remember. This will help in quick revision before the examination
Study Material & Important Topics: One must not start any new books at this stage. However, one can still refer to standard books for concept clearing. This stage should be utilized more for problem-solving, developing shortcuts, and memorizing formulae, understanding one’s strengths & weaknesses. Aspirants must take up Mock Tests in CBT
(Computer Based Test) mode to develop their self-confidence & exam temperament. Time Management is crucial to scoring more marks in the actual JEE (Main).
Important Topics in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics
The syllabus of classes 11th & 12th is equally distributed across the question paper in JEE Main. Students are advised to avoid selective study in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Generally, all topics are covered as mentioned in the syllabus. However, stress may be given in the following chapters:
Mathematics: Quadratic Equations & Expressions, Complex Numbers, Probability, Vectors, Matrices in Algebra; Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola in Coordinate Geometry; Functions, Limits, Continuity, and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Definite Integral in Calculus.
Physics: Kinematics, Gravitation, Fluids, Heat & Thermodynamics, Waves & Sound, Capacitors & Electrostatics, Magnetics, Electromagnetic Induction, Optics & Modern Physics.
Chemistry: Coordination Chemistry & Chemical Bonding in Inorganic Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Chemical & Ionic Equilibrium, Mole Concept in Physical Chemistry, and Amines and Oxygen-containing compounds in Organic Chemistry.
Study Plan for One Month
The last month should generally be utilized to consolidate one’s preparation by focusing on revision briefly, problem-solving, and overcoming the weaker areas in preparation. However, the following points should be kept in mind:
· Remain focused and maintain a positive attitude while studying.
· Develop speed by solving quizzes/Mock Tests of JEE Main level problems with time management.
· Speed & Accuracy will be your key to success in JEE Main
· Take mock-test series preferably in CBT (Computer Based Test)
· If you have to appear in the morning session then you must take the mock test at the same time and if it is after the session then take the mock tests in the afternoon.
· Keep a check on your mistakes and try overcoming them in every test you take.
· Sample papers will give you a fair idea about the pattern of questions and help you improve your time management.
· Solve the Previous year’s JEE Main papers for understanding the level of questions asked.
· Focus on your weaker areas and improve your concepts.
Remember it is the quality of time spent and not the quantity alone. Hence, take short breaks of five to ten minutes after every one or two hours of serious study. Relax completely when you take a break. Practice meditation to develop inner calm, poise, confidence and the power of concentration. These matter a lot and will help you on the day of the examination.
Don’t overstress yourself. Five to six hours of sleep every night is a must, especially three-four days before JEE Main 2023 for physical and mental fitness. Relaxation exercises may help to retain freshness. Avoid oversleeping during the day.
