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.

Hello Swati
Yes, your EWS certificate will be valid for JEE Main 2026 and counselling if it’s issued after April 1, 2025.
This is because EWS certificates are valid for one financial year from April to March.
So, a certificate made in October 2025 will be for FY 2025–26, which covers both JEE and counselling. You’ll need the certificate number during JEE registration in October 2025.
Even if you don’t have it yet, you can still register and upload it later during counselling. Just make sure the certificate clearly mentions the correct financial year.
Always keep a few extra copies and the original ready for verification.
You're good to go if it’s issued after April 1, 2025
Hello Hitesh
A state EWS certificate is usually not valid for JEE Advanced or JoSAA counselling.
You’ll need an EWS certificate in the central government format, as required by IITs.
Even if issued by your local authority, it must clearly mention it’s as per Govt. of India norms.
You can visit your tahsildar/revenue office and request it in the “central format for JEE.”
Make sure the issue date is after April 1, 2025, for it to be valid in 2026 counselling.
You don’t need it at the time of JEE Main, only during Advanced registration and JoSAA.
You still have enough time to get it updated, so no stress, just don’t delay it too long.

Given the condition the you were a PCB student and gave your mathematics equivalent a year later as a private candidate, you are eligible for JEE MAINS. Infact a PCB student is also eligible to take the JEE MAINS. However, the admission process into various NITS and other colleges will be slightly complex than the general admission process. Though, factually you are eligible as a candidate and as a student who is eligible for all the colleges falling under the JEE umbrella including NITS.
