Know More JEE Main B.E/B.Tech Exam Pattern
In JEE Main 2023, there will be two types of questions in the paper. The first type is MCQs and the second type is Non-MCQ or Numeric Value questions.
To make it easy for candidates we have divided the major topics into various categories. Candidates can check below to know more:
Category 1: Very Important Topics - Candidates must practice these topics on a regular basis to improve their knowledge, speed, and accuracy to score higher.
Category 2: Easy to Score - These topics are easy to score and can be solved by using direct formulas. Candidates must revise these topics and give them equal importance as they give to other topics.
Category 3: Basic Topics - Candidates must have in-depth knowledge of the basic topics so that they can easily solve those topics or questions which are based on these topics. Candidates should not ignore basic topics such as:

Candidates must start taking the mock tests one month before the exam. This way you can judge the level of your performance. Candidates are advised to take 10-15 JEE Main 2021 Mock Tests so that you can work on your speed and accuracy level of answering the questions. Since less than 40 days are left for the exam so this is the right time to incorporate mock tests in your preparation plan.
The Gujarat state board has released a Question Bank for the candidates who are planning to appear for JEE Main, NEET, and GUJCET. The question banks have been released for all the subjects included in the syllabus of JEE Main i.e Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

Ques. Are there any changes in JEE Main 2023 Physics Pattern?
Ans. Yes. The major changes in JEE Main 2023 Physics Pattern are that now candidates will have to attempt 25 questions. Out of these 30 questions, there will be 20 MCQs, and the remaining 10 questions will be Non-MCQs with numerical value as an answer. Candidates will get 4 options in multiple-choice questions whereas in numeric value questions no option will be provided. Candidates have to answer 5 out of 10 numerical value based questions.
Ques. What is the marking scheme of JEE Main 2023 Physics paper?
Ans. For every correct answer either MCQ or Numeric Value Question, +4 Marks will be awarded, and for every incorrect answer -1 Mark will be deducted but there will be no negative marking for Numeric Value answers. Candidates can also refer to the table for better understanding.
Type of question | Negative marking for wrong answer | Marking for correct answer |
---|---|---|
MCQs | -1 Mark | +4 Marks |
Numeric Value Questions | No negative marking | +4 Marks |
Ques. What are the best books for JEE Main 2023 Physics paper preparation?
Ans. Candidates can refer to their Class XI and XII books or notes because the syllabus is based on topics from these 2 classes. Other than that you can also refer to the following books:
Book | Author(s) |
---|---|
Concepts of Physics Vol I and II | HC Verma |

Ques. Can I carry a calculator in JEE Main 2023 to do calculations for Non-MCQ questions?
Ans. No. Candidates are not allowed to carry a calculator in the examination hall. Mobile phones, personal calculators, or other electronic devices will not be permitted in the examination hall. Rough Sheets will be available for rough work. Candidates will have to write their names and registration numbers on these sheets before beginning any rough work. These sheets are to be returned to the invigilator after the examination.
Ques. What will be the level of difficulty of JEE Main 2023 Physics paper?
Ans. As per the test taken in previous years, the difficulty level of JEE Main physics paper is moderate. To make it clear we have created a table based on the trend of previous years.
