JEE (Main) 2023 Paper-I was held on 10th April 2023 for BE/B.Tech aspirants. The reporting time for the students was 8:20 am, however the exam started at 9:00 am. Mathematics was easy to moderate while Physics and Chemistry were easy among all the three subjects. Overall this paper was of easy level for the students.
The paper had three parts and each part had two sections:
Part-I-Physics had total 30 questions – Section-I had 20 multiple choice questions with single correct answer and Section-II had 10 numerical based questions out of which only 5 were to be attempted. The marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 for not attempted. The marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response and 0 in all other cases. The total marks of this section were 100.
Part-II- Chemistry had total 30* questions – Section-I had 20 multiple choice questions with single correct answer and Section-II had 10 numerical based questions out of which only 5 were to be attempted. The marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 for not attempted. The marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response and 0 in all other cases. The total marks for this section were 100
Part-III- Mathematics had total 30 questions – Section-I had 20 multiple choice questions with single correct answer and Section-II had 10 numerical based questions out of which only 5 were to be attempted. The marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 for not attempted. The marking scheme for numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response and 0 in all other cases. The total marks of this section were 100.
The questions cover almost all the chapters of Class XI & XII CBSE Board. Students wise balanced paper in terms of coverage of chapters.
JEE Mains Exam 2023 Day 3 Shift 1: Difficulty Level

Mathematics – Easy to Moderate level. Questions were asked from all the chapters with emphasis on the chapters of Algebra and Coordinate Geometry. Questions asked from Matrix, Determinant, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Straight Line, Parabola, Circle, Binomial Theorem, Progression, Mathematical Reasoning, Statistics, Complex Number, Definite Integral, Differential Equation. Numerical section had some lengthy calculations but was easy.
Physics – Easy Level. Questions asked from Gravitation, EM Waves, Wave Optics, Ray Optics, Electrostatics, Magnetism and Matter, Current Electricity and Modern Physics, Kinematics, Law of Motion, Work Power Energy, Heat and Thermodynamics, Semi-conductor, Communication Systems. MCQs were relatively easy. Some Assertion Reasoning questions were also asked. Overall a balanced segment.
Chemistry – Easy Level. More weightage was given to inorganic chemistry as compared to physical and organic chemistry. Questions asked from Electrochemistry, Ores and Metallurgy, Chemical Bonding, Mole Concept, D-Block and F-Block, Qualitative Chemistry, Coordination Compounds. In Organic Chemistry, there were some easy questions from Amines, Alcohols, Phenols. Some questions from Polymer and Environmental Chemistry were NCERT based.
