How do experts find JEE Main 2022 paper?
The JEE Main paper, according to Saurabh Kumar, Chief Academic Officer of Vidyamandir Classes, was reasonably challenging. He said the Math section was the most difficult, whereas Chemistry and Physics can be seen to be simple. "There were more questions on Organic Chemistry compared to inorganic chemistry. Maths was difficult, Physics had few analytical based questions," he said.
'Chemistry was easiest amongst three subjects'
Meanwhile, Ramesh Batlish, the Head of FIITJEE Noida, a coaching institute for JEE and other competitive exams, described the JEE Main 2022 paper as reasonably challenging. According to him, Maths was moderate level while Chemistry was easiest amongst the three subjects.
