New Pattern for JEE (main) – 2020 : Paper 1 for B.E./B. Tech
| Subject | No. of Que. | Type of Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | 25 (20 + 5)* | 20 objective type questions – Multiple Type Questions (MCQ) and 5 questions with answer as Numerical Value with equal weightage to Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics | 100 |
| Chemistry | 25 (20 + 5)* | 100 | |
| Mathematics | 25 (20 + 5)* | 100 | |
| Total | 75 | 300 |
*20 questions in each subject will be MCQs with single correct option as earlier and 5 question will be as Numerical Value answer type where question will not have options but need enter the numerical value of answer in given filed.
