It was well-structured and balanced, covering all chapters uniformly. Among the three sections, Physics and Chemistry ranged from easy to moderate, while Mathematics was the most challenging due to some lengthy, calculation-intensive questions.

In the April 7 JEE Main morning shift, mathematics was the most challenging section, chemistry was the most straightforward among the three sections and the physics section in the JEE Main 2025 ranged from easy to moderate difficulty. In the evening shift, the exam was moderate. Chemistry turned out to be easy in the second shift, physics had a mix of simple and moderately tough problems, while mathematics stood out as the toughest.

The JEE Main 2025 April 8 exam was held in only one shift. Chemistry emerged as the most easy section in the JEE Main April 8 evening shift, physics presented a blend of easy and moderately complex questions, while mathematics proved to be the most demanding. 

Last year, the overall difficulty level in JEE Main was moderate to difficult. In 2024, the number of 100 percentilers had increased by 13 candidates in comparison to 2023 as a total of 56 candidates have received 100 NTA score in Paper 1 (BE/BTech).
