JEE Main January 2019 Difficulty Level Chart
Atharva Sharma, a JEE aspirant and a Quora user shared, “This is because that day's Chemistry paper was unconventional. Instead of asking questions from chapters’ like-Chemical bonding and coordination compounds, the paper setters preferred chapters of rote learning like Environmental Chemistry and Chemistry in everyday Life. Also, Physics required humongous calculations and Maths was moderate too. So, if anyone made even a tiny mistake in time management then the paper would seem quite tough. The rating given to this paper is 1.8 compared to other papers' rating between 1.5–1.76”.
The difficulty level of JEE Main 2019 question paper would differ from student to student basis their prep strategy. And it's unlikely for NTA to set one paper tougher than the other or vice-versa. However, candidates are advised to take as many mock tests and solve atleast the last 5 years' question paper to increase the chances to scoring high in the exam.
Here are the 6 key takeaways from the Jan exam to help you score high and be well-prepared for the second phase of the exam.
