What's the current JEE Mains 2026 NTA pattern?
+
JEE Mains 2026 (unchanged from 2025): 75 questions, 300 marks, 3-hour CBT. Three subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) × 25 questions = 75 total. Each subject = 20 MCQs (Section A) + 5 NVQs (Section B), all compulsory. Marking: +4 correct, -1 incorrect in both sections. The earlier "any 5 of 10 NVQs with no negative marking" structure ended in 2025. No virtual calculator. Facial biometric authentication at exam centres. Platform applies this current pattern by default — older variants no longer generated.
What changed in JEE Mains 2025 that's still in effect for 2026?
+
Two specific changes carried into 2026 — (1) Section B NVQs no longer optional (previously any 5 of 10, now all 5 compulsory). (2) Negative marking of -1 now applies to Section B NVQs (previously +4/no-negative made NVQs the safe-guess section). Both raise strategic stakes — students can no longer skip difficult NVQs without penalty. Platform generates NVQs marked compulsory in answer sheet layout; answer key applies -1 penalty for incorrect NVQ responses by default.
What's the JEE Advanced 2026 pattern and marking scheme?
+
JEE Advanced 2026 — conducted by IIT Roorkee on May 17, 2026. Two papers (9am-12pm + 2:30pm-5:30pm), each 3 hours, 180 marks, totaling 360 marks. 51 questions per paper (17 per subject) across Physics, Chemistry, Maths. Four question types — Single Correct MCQ (+3/-1), Multiple Correct MCQ (+4 full, partial +1/+2/+3 if no wrong selected, -2 if any wrong), NVQ (+4/no negative), Matching List or Paragraph (+3 or +4 / -1). English + Hindi medium. Platform supports all four question types with correct marking logic.
Does the platform handle Multiple Correct partial marking correctly?
+
Yes. JEE Advanced Multiple Correct is the most complex marking — if 3 of 4 options are correct, students get +4 for selecting all 3 correct and not marking the wrong one, +3/+2/+1 for selecting 3/2/1 correct without any wrong selection, -2 if ANY wrong option is selected (regardless of how many correct are also marked). Most third-party generators encode this wrong. Platform's auto-generated answer key applies the partial marking logic correctly so coaching institutes don't manually explain the math to students.
Can I generate chapter-wise DPPs instead of full mock tests?
+
Yes. Chapter-wise DPPs are the most common workflow for coaching in the final 6 months. Select specific chapters (e.g., Rotational Motion + Work, Power and Energy for Physics; Conic Sections + Vectors for Maths) and generate a 10, 15, or 20-question DPP in under 60 seconds. Fresh questions daily without batch-level repeats. Difficulty mix configurable (40% Easy, 40% Medium, 20% Hard) calibrated to batch level. Mains and Advanced pattern DPPs both supported.
How does the platform handle Physics circuits, Chemistry structures, and Maths LaTeX?
+
Math equations render via LaTeX at textbook precision — integrals, matrices, differential equations, vectors. Physics diagrams (circuits, ray diagrams, free-body diagrams, projectile paths) are HD vector graphics, not pixelated raster. Chemistry structures (organic reaction mechanisms, benzene rings, stereochemistry projections, MO diagrams) render as SVG vectors that scale cleanly to any print size. No more re-typing equations in Word — papers export as print-ready PDFs.
Can the platform standardise tests across multiple coaching branches?
+
Yes. Multi-branch institutes (e.g., 4 branches across Kota and Sikar) generate the same test for all branches simultaneously from one central interface. Same questions, same difficulty distribution, same marking scheme. Branch-specific sub-headers identify the test instance ("Apex Academy — Kota Centre" vs "Apex Academy — Sikar Centre") for analytics. Performance data flows back centrally for branch-vs-branch comparison.
Does the platform have JEE previous year questions (PYQs)?
+
Platform includes Mains and Advanced PYQs from recent years where the pattern matches the current format. Older PYQs predating the current pattern (pre-2025 Mains with optional Section B; pre-2024 Advanced before 17-questions-per-subject) are tagged separately because marking schemes differ. Students practicing on current-pattern mocks shouldn't be confused with older PYQs that don't reflect today's marking logic. Pattern-matched recent PYQs integrated into chapter-wise filtering.
Can the platform integrate with the institute's existing test analysis workflow?
+
Yes. Generated answer keys export in standard formats (CSV, JSON, via API) that integrate with most OMR-scanning and test-analysis platforms used by coaching institutes. Chapter and topic tags on every question enable post-test weakness analysis — the platform identifies that a batch performed poorly on Rotational Dynamics but strongly on Electrostatics without manual tagging. For institutes using SchoolDeck's broader platform, data flows into the analytics dashboard automatically.
How does this JEE-specific page differ from the AI Question Paper Generator hub?
+
The AI Question Paper Generator hub covers all subjects and exams at directory level — CBSE/ICSE/State Board school papers plus JEE/NEET/UPSC/SSC coaching papers. This JEE-specific page goes deep into JEE specifications — current NTA 2026 Mains pattern (75 Qs, +4/-1 both sections, all NVQs compulsory), IIT Roorkee 2026 Advanced pattern (51 Qs per paper, 4 question types with section-specific marking including Multiple Correct partial marking), chapter-wise DPP workflows, multi-branch coaching standardisation. Evaluating broader platform → hub. Setting JEE papers for a coaching institute → this page.
