To help such curious birds, we compiled this blog that comprises complete details about the upcoming JEE Mains 2025 Season.
NTA’s Strategy for JEE Mains 2025
NTA’s strategy for JEE is nothing but following a proper pattern when conducting the exam manually. The NTA has to maintain the integrity of the exam by properly balancing many aspects like the exam mode, languages included, duration, syllabus, and many more.
For now, we can say that the NTA follows the same schedule as before with CBT (computer-based test) for JEE Main Paper 1 (B.Tech) and pen and paper-based test with drawing segment for JEE Mains 2025 Paper 2 (B.Arch/B.Planning) twice a year (JANUARY and April). The test duration will be 3 hours for paper 1 and 3.5 hours for paper 2. Besides, the NTA will conduct the exams in a total of 13 languages- English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.

However, the candidates who come under the SC, ST, PwD, and other category must score at least 65% in their 12th. Meanwhile, the NTA clarified that there will be no age limit for candidates for JEE 2025. However, the NTA only allows students to sit for JEE Main for three consecutive years. So, any student who passed out of Class 12th in 2023 and 2024 or will appear for board exams in 2025 is eligible for JEE Main 2025 regardless of age.
For both B.Tech and B.Arch/B. Planning, the student must have mathematics, chemistry, and physics as the main subjects in their 12th standard.

After all, the PCMB students can apply for both NEET and JEE in the same year.
