The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that registration for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 will open "in due course of time”. In a recent notification, the NTA also revealed a significant update for aspirants: the optional Section B, introduced during the pandemic, will no longer be part of the exam format.
The first session of JEE Main 2025 is scheduled to be held in the last week of January, with the exact dates expected to be confirmed once the NTA releases its annual exam calendar.
Changes to JEE Main 2025 Exam Pattern
The optional Section B was added to the JEE Main paper during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide flexibility for students. Candidates were allowed to attempt five out of 10 questions in that section. However, with the return to pre-pandemic norms, the NTA has decided to discontinue this provision.
