NTA JEE Main January 2020 syllabus
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the syllabus for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) – a national-level test for admission to engineering colleges. Candidates can check the detailed JEE Main 2020 syllabus at the official websites, jeemain.nic.in or nta.ac.in.
JEE Main is held for engineering as well as architecture aspirants. The engineering candidates have to appear for paper 1 which consists of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Architecture candidates have to appear in paper 2, as well as in an additional aptitude test or drawing paper.
NTA JEE Main Weightage
While there is no weightage given for physics, chemistry and mathematics as notified by the NTA, but while giving preference, in case two or more students have secured same marks, then mathematics is given top most priority and then to physics and then chemistry. In case the marks of students still remain the same, priority is then given to the student who is elder.
The engineering exam consist of 90 questions, four marks each. JEE Main is for 360 marks and for every wrong answer one mark is deducted.
