JEE Main 2026 April 2 Shift 2 Chemistry question paper — what's inside
The chemistry section included a mix of multiple-choice and numerical-value questions covering physical, organic and inorganic topics. Each question carried four marks and a wrong answer attracted a one-mark deduction. The paper followed the JEE Main pattern for B.E./B.Tech candidates and was delivered via the CBT platform.
Reported sample questions covered topics such as equilibrium expressions (alpha in terms of Keq), CFSE ordering, Fehling's test, weak acid titration pH, and alkane combustion stoichiometry. The question set aimed for standard JEE difficulty with conceptual and calculation-type items.
