Overall, students found the JEE Main 2026 April 6 Shift 1 paper to be <strong>moderate to tough and quite lengthy<\/strong>, making it one of the toughest shifts in Session 2 so far. A large number of students reported that they were unable to attempt the full paper, highlighting the impact of time-consuming calculations, especially in Mathematics. A common concern among students was time management, as many were unable to attempt all questions due to lengthy calculations, especially in Mathematics. Let us see the subject-wise feedback and reactions of students: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Physics section was perceived as moderate and the easiest among the three subjects, but still slightly lengthy and calculative. Most students mentioned that the questions were formula-based and straightforward. However, due to increase in numerical calculations, the section still required careful time allocation. Overall, students were able to attempt 13-15 questions on average in 50 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chemistry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students found Chemistry to be moderate and largely NCERT-based. Chemistry was definitely lengthy and not as easy-scoring as other shifts chemistry. However, some students reported that Physical Chemistry had more numericals this time and were slightly lengthy, adding to the overall time pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mathematics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mathematics was clearly the toughest and most time-consuming section, as highlighted by the majority of students. The questions were lengthy, calculation-intensive, and required multiple steps, making it difficult to attempt all 25 questions. Students took an average time of 70-80 minutes to solve the mathematics section.
