    For the first time in 20 years, all candidates taking the JEE will face less number of questions in physics, chemistry, mathematics as well as engineering drawing (for architecture aspirants). JEE is the entrance exam for all centrally funded technical institutes and colleges. It is also the eligibility exam for IIT JEE.

    For the Bachelor of Planning course, only students who had physics, chemistry and mathematics in Class XII were so far eligible. Now, the criteria have been narrowed down to just mathematics in Class XII. Also, those seeking to enter the stream will not need to take the drawing test, which will be only for architecture aspirants.

    Registration for JEE (Main) to begin from today

    These changes were approved by the ministry of human resource development on Monday. The registration for JEE (Main) will commence from Tuesday. For the first time in 15 years of JEE, the number of questions have been reduced and the question typology changed. Earlier, engineering (BE/BTech) aspirants used to appear for three papers — mathematics, physics and chemistry — each comprising 30 multiple choice questions. From now on, each paper will have 25 questions. Of these, 20 will be MCQs and five “questions with answers as numerical value, with equal weightage to mathematics, physics and chemistry”.

    For BArch, the mathematics paper will comprise 25 questions, with 20 MCQs and five objective-type. Questions in the drawing paper have been reduced from three to two. There will be an aptitude test of 50 marks in the MCQ format.

    Mathematics and aptitude papers will remain common to B Planning and BArch aspirants. However, unlike previous years, there will be no drawing paper for B Planning aspirants and candidates instead will have to take a paper of 25 MCQs on planning.

    “There are a number of changes introduced by the National Testing Agency for the JEE (main) to be held in January and April 2020. The details will be uploaded on Tuesday on the official website of NTA,” said Vineet Joshi, director-general, NTA. The first edition of JEE (Main) 2020 will be conducted from January 6 to January 11 and the second JEE (Main) will be held from April 3 to April 9. Registration for the January exam starts on Tuesday.
