About JEE Main 2025 Question Papers with Solutions
JEE Main 2025 was conducted in two sessions by the National Testing Agency. Session 1 happened in January 2025 across 5 dates and Session 2 in April 2025 across 5 dates. Together both sessions covered around 19 shifts with over 14 lakh candidates appearing across the country.
What makes this page different from most resources is that all papers here are available subject-wise. Instead of one combined PDF, you get Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as separate downloadable files for each shift.

How to Use These Subject-Wise Papers for Maximum Benefit
These papers are available subject-wise which gives you more flexibility than combined PDFs. Here is how to get the most out of them:
Option 1 — Full Paper Practice (Best for Exam Simulation)
- Download all three subjects for one shift together
- Set a 3-hour timer and attempt all 75 questions without any help
- Mark doubtful questions but do not skip them entirely
- Calculate your score after time is up using plus 4 for correct and minus 1 for wrong
- Use the shift analysis table to estimate your percentile
Option 2 — Subject-Wise Practice (Best for Targeted Improvement)
- Download only the subject you are weak in across multiple shifts
- For example download all Physics papers from January and solve them back to back
- This reveals exactly which Physics chapters you struggle with most
- After identifying weak chapters, study them and then re-attempt the same papers
- This targeted approach improves scores much faster than full paper practice alone
Option 3 — Analysis Mode (Best for Pattern Recognition)
- Go through the paper without timing to understand every question type
- Note down which chapters each question comes from
- After doing this for 5 to 6 shifts, you will see very clear topic frequency patterns
- These patterns tell you exactly what to prioritise in your revision
- This is the same approach top rankers use after every JEE cycle

JEE Main 2026 Preparation Strategy Based on 2025 Paper Analysis
After going through all 19 shifts of JEE Main 2025, here is what you should focus on for 2026 preparation:
Physics — Target 80 Plus Out of 100
- Mechanics including Laws of Motion, Work Energy, Rotation and SHM contributed 5 to 7 questions in almost every shift in 2025
- Electrodynamics was the toughest section in most shifts. Electrostatics, Current Electricity and EMI together covered 6 to 8 questions
- Modern Physics questions are mostly NCERT level and quite predictable. Always prepare this unit fully
- All 5 Physics NVTs are compulsory. Most NVT questions in 2025 came from Mechanics and Electrodynamics
- Optics and Thermodynamics appeared in nearly every shift and are scoring if prepared well
Chemistry — Target 85 Plus Out of 100
- NCERT is everything for Inorganic Chemistry. In 2025, almost every Inorganic question had a direct NCERT source
- Organic Reactions, Named Reactions and Product Prediction came up 6 to 8 times per shift consistently
- Electrochemistry and Thermodynamics are high yield Physical Chemistry topics. Master the formulas and their applications
- Chemistry can easily get you 85 plus if NCERT is done properly. This is the subject where the most marks are left on the table by most students
Mathematics — Target 75 Plus Out of 100
- Calculus was the biggest section in 2025 — Limits, Definite Integration and AOD together gave 7 to 9 questions every single shift
- Coordinate Geometry is scoring and predictable. Straight Lines, Circles and Conics appeared in every session
- Algebra including Matrices, Complex Numbers and Probability added 4 to 6 questions per shift
- Speed matters most in Maths. Practice finishing the Maths section in under 55 minutes
- Vectors and 3D Geometry gave 2 to 3 questions per shift and are mostly formula-based
