Hi Kushal.
Greetings.

Yes, the online paper for JEE MAINS examination is always a bit tougher than the offline paper. This might be because the offline paper is conducted before the online paper and the students who opted for online might get the ides of the questions.

Thank you.

Papers are of similar difficulty level. The board wouldnt want some students to have an advantage just for the mode of exam, right?From childhood, students are accustomed to the paper-and-pen format. It is certainly advantageous as you get to have a rough outline of the questions altogether, without having to jump screens and tabs as in online.It is easier to see and write on the paper itself, as compared to cranking the neck up and down each time, (unless youve taken around 100 tests in that format). (Also, solutions can be done beside the question itself in offline. You might lose the region of rough space you were working in for online)Online shows you a ticking timer.It makes one nervous, like hell.Well, I just want to say that we as Indians, are hardwired for the paper-pen format. Online mode is not much of a difference as per difficulty level, and is certainly recommended for casual exams and olympiads (especially because offline choice might give you far-flung centres)Its really a choice of the candidate. The fee is higher for offline, so that has no meaning with regard to the difficulty.

Thank you :)

Both of them were approximately having same toughness
The paper setters always set moderate paper.
And they take Care all papers have same difficulty level (almost)

Hello Kushal,
It may be tough for some candidates and it may be easy also for some candidates. Toughness level of paper depends upon your preparation level.
However, CBSE try to give whole paper of same level for all candidate either online or offline.  Question paper are set by highly professional experts.
After this, they adopt normalization that don't effect or discriminate in terms of marks.
