The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the JEE Main 2025 Session 1 exam from January 22 to 30, 2024. The exam will be held in different modes for various courses like BTech, BE, BArch, and BPlanning:

• Paper 1 (BTech/BE): Conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, it will consist of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. The exam will have two sections: Section A (MCQs) and Section B (numerical-based questions). There will be negative marking for incorrect answers in both sections.

• Paper 2A (BArch): This paper includes Mathematics (Part-I), an Aptitude Test (Part-II) in CBT mode, and a Drawing Test (Part-III) in offline (pen-and-paper) mode. The Drawing Test will be on an A4-sized drawing sheet. There will be negative marking for MCQs and numerical-based questions (except for the Drawing Test).

• Paper 2B (BPlanning): This will consist of Mathematics (Part-I), an Aptitude Test (Part-II), and Planning-Based Questions (Part-III) in CBT mode. It will also have MCQs and numerical-based questions, with negative marking for incorrect answers (except for Planning-based questions).

In all papers, the marking system will follow: four marks for correct answers, -1 for incorrect answers, and zero marks for unanswered or marked-for-review questions. If more than one answer is correct, marks will be awarded to those who select any correct option.
