Normalisation Process
Since the examination is conducted in multiple shifts across several days, the National Testing Agency applies a normalisation process to ensure fairness. This method adjusts scores based on the relative difficulty level of each shift so that candidates appearing in tougher shifts are not disadvantaged.
Why Solving Previous Year Papers Is Important
Experts suggest to solve the JEE (Main) previous years question papers in order to enhance their preparation. These papers assist candidates to:
Know the difficulty level in various shifts
Analyse topic-wise weightage
Increase speed and accuracy
Get an idea of the real exam pattern
Earlier years’ question papers with solutions are also provided on the website of National Testing Agency (NTA).
