JEE Main Exam 2026: Previous Years' Exam Analysis
Here is a detailed analysis of the previous years' exam to analyse the expected pattern on JEE Main Exam 2026:| Exam Year | Overall Difficulty Level | Most Difficult Subject |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Moderate | Mathematics |
| 2022 | Moderate | Mathematics |
| 2023 | Easy to Moderate | Mathematics |
| 2024 | Moderate to Difficult | Mathematics |
| 2025 | Moderate | Chemistry |
| 2026 | Expected to be a Moderate level of Difficulty | |
Candidates shall note that each year, the JEE Main exam questioning pattern is slightly changed. Candidates should be well prepared for the exams as there is no confirmation as to which session or which subject will be more difficult. It has been noticed over the years that mathematics has always had the most tricky, lengthiest or time-consuming questions; however, in the previous year, most candidates reported Chemistry to be the most difficult section through both sessions. For all the exam shifts and for both sessions, candidates have stated that the mathematics section was comparatively easier. Hence, candidates should be well prepared for the upcoming JEE Main Exam 2026.
For a detailed analysis of the previous years' exams, along with the detailed syllabus for JEE Main Exam 2026, is discussed in this live blog for reference!
