JEE Main 2025 Session 2: The April 8 exam had moderate difficulty. Chemistry was easiest while Mathematics was the most challenging.

JEE Main 2025 Paper Analysis: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is currently conducting the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 Session 2 for B.E./B.Tech and B.Arch & B.Planning courses from April 2 to 9. Today, April 8, 2025, the JEE Main 2025 Session 2 for B.E./B.Tech courses was held in the evening shift was from 3 PM to 6 PM. Today’s exam offered a well-rounded challenge, registering an overall moderate difficulty level. The exam was thoughtfully curated, striking a commendable balance among all three subjects.

Chemistry emerged as the most easy, Physics presented a blend of easy and moderately complex questions, while Mathematics proved to be the most demanding — primarily due to its time-consuming and calculation-intensive nature. Subjectwise analysis as follows:

Physics

Physics leaned on the easier end of the spectrum but wasn’t without its share of medium-difficulty problems. The paper heavily emphasized numerical and formula-centric questions, demanding sharp accuracy and quick conceptual recall. Key topics included Mechanics, Units & Measurements, Electrostatics, and Optics. Notably, Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) was absent, and chapters like Oscillations, Waves, Magnetism, and Thermodynamics appeared only sparingly. While some problems required a bit more time for computation, they weren’t overly tricky.

Chemistry

Chemistry stood out as the most student-friendly section. A significant portion of the paper was composed of direct, statement-based questions, making it quick and less stressful to navigate. Organic Chemistry dominated the section, followed by Inorganic Chemistry. Physical Chemistry was the least represented, with just a handful of questions touching on topics like Chemical Kinetics and Solutions. Much of the theoretical content was straight from the NCERT, and even numerical questions leaned more toward conceptual understanding than complex calculations.

Mathematics

Mathematics was undeniably the most taxing segment, both mentally and in terms of time. While the questions were well-distributed across the syllabus, areas such as 3D Geometry, Vectors, and Conic Sections received greater emphasis. On the flip side, topics like Matrices and Calculus had comparatively less representation. The majority of the problems were loaded with calculations, putting students’ time management skills to the test. For many aspirants, this section felt like a marathon of endurance.

Overall, Mathematics was found to be the most challenging section followed by Physics, which was moderately difficult. Chemistry, on the other hand, was considered the easiest among the three subjects.
