The National Testing Agency (NTA) has refuted claims of a paper leak for the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE Mains session 1. The NTA has warned candidates about false rumours of JEE Main paper leaks spreading on social media platforms, including ‘X’. This warning coincides with the start of the Session 1 exam.
“Claims of “paper leaks” on social media are fake and misleading. Avoid sharing personal details or making payments. Follow only official NTA website for authentic information,” the National Testing Agency stated on X.
“Such claims are fake, fraudulent and intended to scam students. These ads often demand payment money or personal data. Engaging with them may lead to financial loss and misinformation,” the NTA added.
To avoid falling victim to such fraudulent schemes, the NTA has advised students to rely only on the its official websites and announcements for reliable information.
The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 examinations are scheduled from January 21 to 29 and are being conducted in two shifts each day. NTA will soon release the hall tickets for the January 28 and 29 exams.
On January 21, the first shift took place from 9 am to 12 pm, followed by the second shift from 3 pm to 6 pm. According to students and experts, the mathematics exam in the first shift was moderate but time-consuming, with most questions from topics like Vector 3D, Sequence and Series, and Quadratics. Chemistry was considered lengthy and difficult, with many candidates reporting it took about an hour to complete; notably, six to seven questions were statement-based. Physics was moderate, with questions from areas like wave optics, kinematics, and thermodynamics. Students claimed math to be the most difficult section of the paper.
