JEE Mains 2024 Exam Session 1: Complete Analysis
- Mathematics – Moderate. Questions were asked from all chapters with emphasis on Chapters of Calculus. More than one question asked from Matrices &Determinants, 3 D Geometry, Vectors and Circle. Other chapters included Permutation & Combination, Complex Numbers, Statistics, Progressions, Quadratic Equations, Function, Limits, Continuity & Differentiability, Application of Derivative, Indefinite Integration, Definite Integrals, Differential Equations, Area, Straight Line, Circle , Conic Sections with mixed concept questions. The Numerical Section had lengthy calculations from chapters of Calculus & Coordinate Geometry. A few questions were reported as Lengthy &Tricky.
- Physics – Easy to Moderate. More weightage given to Electrostatics & Current Electricity. Other chapters included Kinematics, Gravitation, Rotational Motion, SHM, Laws of Motion, Magnetism, Ray Optics, Capacitance, Modern Physics, Work Power & Energy, Heat & Thermodynamics. Numerical based questions were Lengthy. Few fact-based questions from class XII chapters of NCERT were also asked.
- Chemistry – Easy. Organic & Physical Chemistry were given more weightage compared to Inorganic Chemistry. Questions asked from Chemical Bonding, Electrochemistry, Mole Concept , Coordination Compounds, p-block elements, Solutions ,Atomic Structure, Chemical Kinetics, General Organic Chemistry, Alcohol, Ether & Phenol, Biomolecules, Amines, , Aryl & Alkyl halides. Numerical based were mostly from Physical Chemistry.
In terms of order of Difficulty – Mathematics was Moderate while Chemistry was Easy . Overall, this paper was of Moderate level as per students.
