JEE Main 2022: Question Paper Analysis

The conclusion for the JEE Main 2022 question paper was, in terms of level of difficulty, moderately difficult.

In an overall scenario, the questions were comparatively easier than last year however there were a few trick questions that will determine the top scorers of JEE Main this year. The question paper being lengthy was maintained by majority of students that appeared for the exam.

Beginning with the Physics paper, the questions were not out of the box or ambiguous. They were quite straight forward compared to the questions set last year.

The Mathematics paper was considered lengthy by the students however on the difficulty level it was not all that difficult. There were a few trick questions that were on par with the JEE Advanced questions which made the Mathematics question paper the most difficult of them all.

In the 30 questions that were asked in the Chemistry paper, there was equal distribution of questions for Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. There were no questions asked on States of Matter and Chemistry in Everyday Life. Most questions asked were conceptually inclined unlike last year.

In Vashi, Mumbai, Vinay Kale, an engineering aspirant, said, “The exam went well, I solved 33 out of 90 questions. Mathematics was easy, and I found Physics to be tricky.”

Vedangini’s view was quite opposite to Vinay. She said, “For me Physics was alright, but Mathematics was little difficult. To avoid negative marking, I attempted selective questions.”

In brief, the JEE Main 2022 question paper was moderately difficult however it was much lengthier than last year’s question paper. Another noteworthy thing was most of the questions were asked from the 12th standard syllabus of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

The sections from which the questions were asked are listed below for all the 3 subjects.

Mathematics was considered the most difficult paper this year followed by Physics and Chemistry.

The cut off is expected to be somewhere between 97 and 102 this year.
