During the JEE (Main) 2020 September attempt for paper 1 that was conducted on September 2, the necessary safety precautions for COVID-19 were properly undertaken. Social distancing was maintained; and all the students were sanitized. Every student was given a mask; had to wear gloves; and was required to carry sanitizer and water bottles.
As far as the question paper was concerned, it was of moderate to difficult level; with the most difficult section being Physics. On the other hand, the Maths and Chemistry sections were moderately difficult.
This was the most difficult amongst the three sections. Around 11 questions were asked from the syllabus of Class XI; while 14 questions were from that of Class XII. A number of questions were from Mechanics and Thermodynamics. Around 3 questions each were asked from Optics and Modern physics. There were questions from Electromagnetism and Semiconductors, as well.
This section was moderately difficult. An equal number of questions were asked from the syllabi of Classes XI & XII. Most of the questions were based on theoretical knowledge from NCERT books.
This section too was moderately difficult. However, more weightage was given to Class XII syllabus. There were 6 questions from Coordinate Geometry; 5 questions from Algebra; 3 questions from Vector and 3D; 2 questions from Sequence and Series; 6 questions from Calculus; and 1 question based on Truth Tables.
