The marking scheme in JEE Main or JEE Advanced plays a crucial role in deciding the exam’s toughness W.R.T the competition. However, we all know that JEE Main is one of India’s most competitive entrance examinations, and the 2024 season’s applications were huge compared to the previous years. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expecting these numbers will go high in JEE Mains 2025 as well. Hence, the students are worried about all the critical decisions from NTA that might change for JEE 2025, including exam patterns and marking schemes for JEE Main 2025. Here, we are going to discuss everything! So, let’s get started!

Any New Update on the Marking Scheme JEE Mains 2025?

On the internet, we see a lot of myths regarding the marking scheme of JEE Main. One such is that the NTA changes the marking scheme with changes in the academic calendar. However, the marking scheme for JEE Main remains unchanged for the year, including JEE Main 2024. So, what about the marking Scheme for JEE Mains 2025? Are any changes or updates expected? The answer is no, and the NTA hasn’t announced any update regarding any change. However, the NTA doesn’t usually announce anything about future exams until the current session ends. Since the seat allocation for NITs and IITs is still pending, we cannot expect any sort of updates or announcements from NTA. Speaking of the marking scheme for JEE Main 2025, the NTA will update the details along with the NTA exam calendar 2025 in 1st or 2nd week of November.

JEE Main 2025 Marking Scheme

Since we have no official info about the changes, the Marking scheme for JEE Main 2025 will be in the same pattern as the previous years. Now, here you will explore the detailed pattern of JEE Main 2025.

First of all, the JEE Main exam consists of two papers. JEE Main Paper 1 is conducted by NTA for admission into B.E/B. Tech courses. Meanwhile, JEE Main Paper undergoes two subcategories, JEE Main B.Arch and JEE Main B.Planning. So, every student must acknowledge that the Marking scheme differs for both. Let’s take a look at each paper marking scheme separately:

JEE Main 2025 Paper 1 Marking Scheme 

JEE Main Paper 1 is a complete Computer Based Test (CBT). The total duration of the test will be 3 hours.

This test consists of a total of 90 questions. The paper comprises 30 questions from each subject -Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. All the candidates must answer at least 75 questions in total (25 questions from each subject). 

The JEE Main 2025 marking scheme for paper 1 will consist of a total of 60 MCQs having 4 options, each with one correct option and 30 single Numerical Value answer questions. For every correct response, the students will get +4 for MCQ-type questions and -1 for each incorrect response. Unattempted questions will not be marked.

Likewise, the students will receive +4 for each correct response and -1 for each incorrect response for every non-MCQ/ Numerical Answer question. Unattempted questions will not be marked.

JEE Main 2025 Paper-2 Marking Scheme Pattern

Here comes the trickiest part, the Jee Main Paper 2, which is a two-part test, B.Arch or B. Planning where both exams follow different marking schemes with slight differences in subjects as well. Here is the detailed Marking scheme for Paper 2 of JEE main:

Marking Scheme for JEE Main B. Planning 2025:

JEE Main Paper 2 (B.Planning) is a complete CBT-based test (online). This is a 3-hour test with a total of 400 marks. Speaking of subjects, this test comprises different types of question patterns from Mathematics, Aptitude, and Planning Objective Type questions. 

B.Planning paper consists of a total of 105 questions. The paper comes with 30 questions from Mathematics, 50 from Aptitude, and 25 from Planning. The paper pattern of JEE Main B. Planning will consist of a total of:

Maths– 20 (MCQ type questions) + 10 (Numerical Value Questions)

Aptitude– 50 MCQ type questions

Planning Based (Objective Type)- 25 MCQs.

All students must answer at least 100 questions (25 in Mathematics, 50 in Aptitude, and 25 in Planning Based).

Speaking of the marking scheme, students can get +4 for each correct response for MCQ-type questions in all subjects and -1 for each incorrect response. Unattempted questions will not be marked. Meanwhile, the students will get +4 for each correct response and -1 for each incorrect response, and unattempted questions will not be marked for every non-MCQ-type question.

Speaking of paper patterns, this test contains questions from Mathematics, Aptitude, and drawing-type questions. The total number of questions in this exam will be 82 (Mathematics- 30; Aptitude- 50; Drawing- 2).
