Hlo buddy,  No it's not necessary but it's matter alot to decide your rank. I means if you have same score with other students than the student who got higher marks mathematics got higher rank. Similiary,  if your math score is also same than the student who got higher marks in physics get good rank. After that chemistry.  So it's matter to decide your rank Buddy.

Best of luck for exam buddy.

Hi Rakshita,

The JEE Mains includes three subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It is neccessary to qualify in all the subjects. But you can score good if any two of the subjects are strong. You can score more if your all the subjects are strong.

All the best!!
