The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted the JEE Main 2026 exam on April 6, with the morning shift from 9 am to 12 pm (IST). Students found the exam to be easy to moderate but lengthy, emphasizing the need for speed and precision. According to experts, the performance of students in this session depended significantly on their ability to balance these two factors. The Physics section was rated as easy to moderate, featuring mostly formula-based and direct questions, which allowed well-prepared students to achieve high scores. The Chemistry section was found to be balanced and largely aligned with the NCERT syllabus, although some questions in Physical Chemistry were calculation-heavy. The Mathematics section was conceptually straightforward but lengthy, suggesting that students who employed smart question selection could perform better. Overall, the exam reflects a shift towards rewarding decision-making skills among students.
