What is inside
An archive built from official papers
This listing gathers JEE Main question papers published by the exam bodies, with 72 papers catalogued across 2014 to 2026. The older papers, 2014 to 2017 and 2019, come from archived captures of the former official site, while the 2026 papers come from links published by the National Testing Agency. Only question papers are included; answers are not part of the archive.

The files attached to this resource
Nine PDFs are attached, all of them 2026 Paper 1 papers in English, each between two and two and a half megabytes. They correspond to the shifts held on 2, 4, 5 and 6 April and the second shift of 8 April 2026:
- 2 April, shifts 1 and 2
- 4 April, shifts 1 and 2
- 5 April, shifts 1 and 2
- 6 April, shifts 1 and 2

How to practise with them
Treat each paper as a timed mock. Sit for the full duration without interruptions, mark the questions you guessed, and afterwards sort errors into concept gaps, calculation slips and time pressure. Because no answers are supplied here, check your results against a trusted solution source or your coaching notes.
Older papers are useful for seeing how the question style evolved, but the 2026 shifts are closest to the current format, so schedule them for the last stage of preparation.
Pacing your use
Nine papers do not need to be solved in nine days. A steadier plan is two papers a week, one for timed attempt and one for slower review of the weak areas the first exposed. Keep a log of your score, accuracy and time per section after every paper so that trends become visible over several weeks.
Who should use it
Class 12 students and droppers preparing for the engineering entrance, plus teachers who need real papers for classroom tests.
