“In physics, more weightage was given to class 12 chapters. Some questions were related to experiments and facts from NCERT. In mathematics, questions were asked from almost all chapters with due weightage to the conic section. No question asked from mathematical induction. Most of the questions were from the NCERT throughout the exam,” said Batlish.
In terms of subjects, physics section again remain difficult, while the chemistry and maths appeared to comparatively easier. “Students faced difficulties in solving questions in physics as it was time-consuming,” said Amalendu Ghosh, the Physics teacher from KV Kolkata.
Students from across centres reported that questions in the physics section were quite descriptive and time-consuming.

Batlish informed that though chemistry was easier, as usual when compared to physics and mathematics, however, it was difficult when compared to previous exams conducted on April 8, 9, and 10.
As compared to last year, this year paper was of moderate level as per students. More focus was however given to NCERT, Batlish said.
Academic head and VP (JEE and NEET) at Gradeup, Navin C Joshi said, “The last day of JEE Main April 2019 exam started well, with a moderate difficulty level of paper. In Physics, the level of the exam was moderate, with a uniform distribution of questions across all topics. However, there were mixed reactions from students. In this section, there were some questions based on experiments. The Mathematics section was also of moderate difficulty level. A well-prepared student would have found this section easier in comparison to previous years’ papers. Chemistry section was as expected from the NCERT, which students found easy to attempt. The overall cut-off is expected to be between 80-85.”
