As per the students, the overall paper was moderate in difficulty level.
Mathematics: Students found the Mathematics part was moderate. It was assessed as difficult by some students because of the calculations involved in some of the questions. There were 7 to 8 questions from calculus. Questions on relation, function, continuity and differentiability, and application of derivatives were asked in good measure as also questions from integral calculus and differential equations besides area under curves were all asked. There were not less than 7 questions from algebra, about 3 questions from coordinate geometry and about 4 questions from vectors and 3-dimensional geometry, there were about 2 questions from trigonometry as well.
Physics: For many students, the Physics paper was of easy to moderate difficulty level. Questions were asked from almost all chapters -not less than 8 questions from Mechanics, about 4 questions from Heat and Thermodynamics,3 or 4questions from electricity and magnetics, and 2 or 3 questions asked from modern physics. There were questions on Semiconductors and communications in the numerical section of the paper. There were questions about waves and oscillations, units and measurements and experimental physics.

On Question asked by student community
Hi,
For admission in the CBIT, JNTUH, or VNR VJET AIML branch, you will need to score around 96-68% in JEE Mains with your EWS category and BCE certificate. For CBIT and VNR VJET, cutoff goes to around 97-98% while in JNTUH, you might need slightly higher marks, around 98-99%.
Hope it helps!!!
For JEE Main 2026, calculators will not be allowed in the exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has confirmed that no physical or virtual calculator will be provided. Earlier, there was confusion because of a typing mistake in the information bulletin, but NTA has now clearly said that students have to do all the calculations manually during the exam.
The calculator ban in JEE Main 2026 will test aspirants’ mental arithmetic and manual calculation skills, making speed and accuracy entirely dependent on practice. Regular solving of numerical problems without a calculator will be key to maintaining efficiency during the exam.
