JEE (Main) 2023 Paper-I exam for Day 2 concluded at 6 pm on January 25, 2023. The students who appeared for the examination had to report to the exam centre at 1.30 pm and the exam started at 3 pm. Paper I difficulty level was moderate for Mathematics and easy for Physics, Chemistry.
Students were not allowed to carry anything inside examination hall except a transparent ball point Pen, Admit Card & Aadhar Card. All guidelines as released by NTA earlier were followed for safety of the exam takers. Every student was made to go through a sanitizing station where they had to sanitize themselves through a foot press lever.
