Finally, the day has arrived; the JEE Main 2026 Session-1 examinations have started. As you all know, the exams are scheduled to be held on 21, 22, 23, 24, 28 and 29 January 2026. As the examinations started, we are here with a series of paper analyses. In this series, we will analyse the JEE Main 2026 Session-1 paper regularly.
On the scheduled dates, the examination will be held in two shifts. So, we will update it twice after each shift. If you are interested in knowing the level of the paper, this is for you. To be updated, keep checking the article for the analysis of JEE Main 2026 Session-1.
Quick Reactions of PCP Sikar Students
The analysis of JEE Main 2026 Session-1, which we are presenting here, is based on the first reactions of PCP Sikar’s JEE aspirants. After the shift ends, our faculty members ask students about the papers for each subject, and then we prepare this analysis.
