The third day of the JEE Main 2025 session 1 exam was held today, January 24 in two shifts. According to the JEE Main 2025 January 24 Shift 1 and 2 paper analysis and student reactions, the paper was moderate to difficult. Mathematics was lengthy and tough while Physics was easy and chemistry had a few tough questions. After day JEE Main 2025 day 3, based on the difficulty level of the paper and the previous trends, experts project that the cutoff for JEE Advanced eligibility can be 110 and above marks out of 300.

IIT Kanpur has announced that for JEE Advanced 2025, a total of 2.5 lakh candidates will be selected.
