Day 3 of JEE Main 2026 Jan 23 Session 1 exam is scheduled from 9 AM to 12 PM (morning shift) and 3-6 PM (afternoon shift). This year, reportedly 14.5 lakh students have registered for the January session 2026, setting the highest record in the history of JEE Main examination. While NTA aims for similar difficulty levels across all days and shifts, you can expect minor variations in the question pattern. Sailaja, a teacher in a private school of Vijayawada, with 15+ years of experience in coaching JEE aspirants, comments – "I have observed that mid-session dates occasionally feature tougher numerical problems in Mathematics or Physics compared to inital days, so I strongly suggest revising numerical value questions, key formulas to all test-takers who are appearing on Day 3." However, rest assured that shift-wise JEE Main 2026 paper analysis will be shared in real-time for all subjects shortly after the exam.
