The difficulty level of question paper of Jee Mains examination In offline mode and online mode is same, it basically depends on practise but i will advise you to appear for ofline one
1)Difficulty of the mode of the examination
Pros of online over offline
a.If you are a computer literate , it will save you some time from bubbling or marking OMR. (15 minutes can give lot of head start)
b.You can change your answer at any moment of time .
c. You can see all your answers,no of questions marked .
d. you can see the time remaining , no need to ask the invigilator .
e.They will give you unlimited no of rough sheets :P
f.A/C in summer
g. a college equipped with a computer lab is allotted to you, better chance of getting a good centre ( I got a LKG classroom with tiny tini benches for my boards)
Cons
a.If you don’t practice , it will be consuming , you might panic .
while you have been writing on paper exams for ages
b.You’l keep wavering and won’t confirm some answers , once you’ve marked that question in offline , you dont need to think about it again.
2)Difficulty of level of examination
this purely depends on your luck .
I have read some answers below that on line paper will be tough .
But one thing I don’t like even if online paper is tougher by chance , they dont normalize the marks , just take the average *Facepalm* .
I will just give you the trends .
2013
I was in 11th . All my seniors gave on line , the paper they gave ( 9th) was very easy compared to offline.
Highest in our campus , a whooping 330
2014
following the trend I gave online .
I gave it on the 2nd day , as it was considered a auspicious day *facepalm* .
The paper was very tough compared to off line and other papers according to the Internet and my whole college . I could have scored 50 more marks if I gave the 9th paper .
But the average cut off was mostly decided on offline as 70% people gave offline .
2015
I gave offline this time . Both papers were comparable this time .
P.S :- people also say offline physics is tougher than online .
Hey Anji
According to previous year question papers difficulty level of question papers of both online and offline exams of jee mains is more or less same. Lets just understand what is the difference between offline and online mode.
- Online mode of exam will be a computer based exam wherein the questions will appear on the screen and the candidate has to choose one out of four options.
- Offline mode is simply pen and paper test in which a question paper will be provided and candidates has to darken their answer on the OMR sheet.
i feel choosing online and offline mode of exam totally depends on you.
Candidate tend to choose offline mode of exam because of familiarity with the offline exam pattern because we have been giving test in this mode since very long time.
Also there are no worries about technical glitches like power failures
But online mode of exam is gaining popularity lately, question can be marked for review and answers can be viewed any time and since the answers need to be marked on the compute rather than darkening the circles which makes it less time consuming.
Feel dfree to ask if you have anymore queries.GOOD LUCK !

A big NO. Papers are of similar difficulty level. The board wouldn’t want some students to have an advantage just for the mode of exam.
All the very best and good luck.
In my choice you have to just see that whether you are comfortable in filling the bubble by you pen or by the computer mouse.
I personally suggest you that if you choose online mode then you have to make practice of it before your main exam,then you will be only comfortable in your main exam
