Is JEE Paper 2 easier than JEE Main Paper 1?

Accepted Answer

JEE Paper 2 (B.Arch) mathematics is significantly easier than JEE Main Paper 1 (for B.Tech). Paper 2 math is at CBSE Class 11-12 board exam level with direct NCERT questions, while Paper 1 involves complex problem-solving. However, Paper 2 adds Drawing (200 marks) which requires artistic skill and months of practice. Many engineering aspirants shift to architecture finding Paper 2 mathematics manageable but struggle with drawing. With proper coaching, scoring 300+ in Paper 2 is achievable in 6-8 months.
