Jee main 2026: One of India's largest engineering entrance examinations, Jee Main may soon see major changes. The Ministry of Education has created a new JEE APEX Board for the examinations of 2026 and 2027. This board will now take all the important decisions related to the exam, whether it is the rules, a normalization policy or the exam pattern. So far many students have complained that the paper level is not the same in different shifts of JEE Main. Somewhere easy and more difficult questions are asked. In such a situation, marks change after normalization and the scores of students who bring the same marks are different. This is the reason that the government has decided to reconsider this entire system by forming a new board.

What can change in Jee Main 2026?

• The Normalization Formula will be reviewed again and a new, more transparent scoring system can be introduced.
• The process of setting the paper will be changed so that the level of questions in each shift is almost equal.
• Complaints and feedback of students will also be noted.
• Transparency and fairness in the examination will be further strengthened.

What is the complaint of students about JEE Main?

Problems of normalization: Students believe that the formula that right now does not show the real performance right.

Inequality in paper: Different shift questions do not have the same difficulty.

Demand for standardization: Students want everyone to get equal opportunity and the level of questions should be the same.

This time the JEE APEX Board has been fully newly shaped. Its command has been handed over to Professor SK Jain (former Vice Chancellor, BHU). The board has a total of 19 members, including IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee and NIT Rourkela director, CBSE chairman, DG of NTA (National Testing Agency), Representative of Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh.

Why is this change important for students?
