JEE Main 2024 was conducted across 17 shifts in two sessions — January and April — by the National Testing Agency. The papers showed a clear move towards application-based questions, especially in Physics and Chemistry, while Mathematics was noticeably tougher compared to previous years. The overall difficulty level remained moderate, with Physics at moderate level, Chemistry easy to moderate, and Maths the toughest section. The general cutoff was around 93.2 percentile.
