JEE Main 2026 follows the same three-section format as previous years — Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics — with a mix of MCQs and numerical value questions.
Each subject carries 100 marks, split as:
Numerical questions are where most students leave free marks on the table. Since there's no penalty for a wrong guess, always attempt every numerical question even if you're unsure — a partially-reasoned guess beats a blank.
Spend the first 10 minutes of the exam triaging: mark every question you're fully confident about first, then come back for numericals, and save genuinely unfamiliar MCQs for last. Speed comes from not re-reading questions you've already decided to skip.
