There have been no alterations in the JEE Main 2022 Exam Pattern, but the National Testing Agency has recently revised the JEE 2022 marking scheme. The JEE Main 2022 question paper will now have two sections, Section A, including 20 MCQs, and Section B, including 10 numerical value questions, of which students must attempt any five. In contrast to last year, both sections of JEE Main 2022 will have a negative marking of -1 in case of wrong answers. Along with the marking scheme, there are some other alterations/modifications made in the JEE 2022 Examinations; these are as follows:
- This year, JEE Main 2022 will be held in two sessions.
- NTA proposed the option of internal choices since no changes were made to the JEE Main Syllabus last year, despite a 30% drop in CBSE Class 12 and other state board syllabi. Students can check out the JEE Main 2022 Syllabus – Get Physics, Chemistry & Maths Syllabus | AESL.
- Another significant change in the JEE Main 2022 Exam Pattern is that the examination will be administered in 13 different languages. Check the JEE Main 2022 Exam Pattern- Check Paper Pattern | AESL here.
- In 2020, the total number of questions was reduced from 90 to 75 in the B.E/B.Tech papers. This change was replaced in JEE Main 2021, but the number of questions to be aimed per section stayed the same, i.e. 25.
