This shift did not look brutal overall, but it was not effortless either. The pressure mostly came from the Mathematics section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Physics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physics was generally seen as moderate. It was moderate and mostly concept-led, with a few formula-application questions<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Chemistry\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemistry was the scoring section for many students, with NCERT comfort helping, though some found parts of it less direct than expected. It was easy to moderate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mathematics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mathematics was the section that slowed students down and shaped the paper&#8217;s final fairness.

The answer is not absolute, because difficulty can feel different from student to student. Still, the broad trend from the early review is useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shift 1 was often seen as more straightforward in Chemistry, while Shift 2 felt more balanced but slightly tighter because of Maths. That is why the April 2 shift 2 vs shift 1 JEE Main difficulty comparison is important. The second shift may not have been the toughest paper of Session 2, but it did feel a little more demanding than Shift 1 for many students.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Area<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Shift 1<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Shift 2<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Takeaway<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall level<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Close, but Shift 2 felt a bit tighter<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physics<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to moderate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shift 2 looked a shade less forgiving<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemistry<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to moderate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to moderate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shift 1 looked more promising for many students<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mathematics<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate to tough<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate to difficult<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both were lengthy, but Shift 2 still carried pressure<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Marks Required for 99 Percentile April 2 Shift 1 and Shift 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students also keep searching for the marks required for 99 percentile April 2 shift 1, because that gives a useful comparison point.

NTA\u2019s official bulletin says percentile is calculated within the shift by taking the number of candidates who scored equal to or less than a candidate, dividing that by the total number of candidates who appeared in that shift, and then multiplying by 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why raw marks across shifts should never be compared in a direct way. A 150 in a slightly tougher shift can produce a percentile similar to a higher score in an easier shift.
