JEE Main is the biggest Engineering exam in India and is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Aspirants appearing for JEE Main 2020 can seek admission in B.E./B.Tech and B.Arch/B.Planning courses offered by the prestigious IITs, NITs, CFTIs and various other engineering colleges.

Paper I difficulty level turned out to be ‘Easy to Moderate’. The exam pattern was stable and pretty similar to last year's paper. All the questions carried 4 marks each while 1 mark was deducted for incorrect responses. All the questions were framed from the JEE Main 2020 Syllabus prescribed by CBSE. However, students said that NCERT books were not enough for JEE preparation and they had to refer to other preparation books.

When asked why students opted for offline paper over the online paper scheduled to be held on April 8-9, 2020, these are some of the highlights and insights students gave:

• The JEE Main online paper was conducted before the offline paper and they wanted to get done with it early.
• Some said they did not want to take a chance online because online papers sometimes involve a lot of network and server related issues.
• Few students said that they were more comfortable appearing for the offline paper.
• The nature of the offline paper was very similar to how they actually prepared for JEE Main 2020.
