The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a significant change to the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) for 2025. Effective from the 2025 examination cycle, Section B of Paper 1 will no longer offer optional questions; all questions in this section are now mandatory. This adjustment aims to standardise the assessment process and ensure a uniform evaluation of all candidates’ knowledge and skills.
Key Details:
- Affected Section: Section B of Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.)
- Change Implemented: All questions in Section B are compulsory; the previous option to select specific questions has been removed.
- Objective: To streamline the examination process and provide consistent evaluation criteria for all candidates.
Implications for Candidates:
- Preparation Strategy: Candidates should adjust their study plans to ensure comprehensive coverage of all topics, as selective preparation is no longer viable.
- Practice Approach: Engaging with a variety of question types across all topics will be beneficial, given the mandatory nature of all questions in Section B.
