JEE Main 2024 Exam Toughest Shift: The Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2024 Session 1 is over, and applicants who attended the exam are now taking a breath of relief with curiosity to know more about the paper and their score. One of the things that is floating fast is the desire among JEE Main candidates to determine the toughest shift of the JEE Main 2024 January session. The difficulty level directly affects the cutoff. More difficult papers tend to have a lower cutoff, and vice versa.
Let us explore this in more detail with the help of the JEE Main Session 1 analysis provided by Resonance. This analysis will be based on the memory-based questions asked by candidates and thus might not get along with the final JEE Main 2024 answer key and cutoff.
