Dear aspirant,

Joint entrance examination is conducted by National testing agency. It is a national level examination and considered to be one of the toughest exams in india ,so you can have an idea of how are the questions asked in the examination.

By toughest I didn't mean it is something an average student can't solve instead it requires strategic thinking, a bit of presence of mind.

It depends on how you practice and what are your preparation methods and according to that you will be able to understand the difficulty level.
