What is JEE Advanced ?

The JEE Advanced is structured differently than the main exam. The advanced exam covers the same three topics: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. However, unlike the main exam, the advanced exam is divided intTo two three-hour long papers, each divided into three sections (one for each topic).

Although the Structure for examinations is not fixed students can refer to the patterns of previous year question paper to have a vague idea of how the JEE Advanced Examinations are conducted. As a matter of fact, JEE Advanced Papers are Full of Surprises! So, brace yourselves because the journey wouldn't be cakewalk that's for sure.

So, now referring to the previous year JEE ADVANCED Paper,

There are two 3-Hour Papers. Each Paper having three sections for each subject and further divided to have more sub-sections for having different types of questions.

Considering each sub-section of a section. There are usually three sub-sections.

· The first sub-section usually contains MCQ questions with single option correct or more than one options correct. This section usually has negative marking.

· The second sub-section can be either a match the sections questions or a paragraph type question. Here too, there is always a possibility that more than one options can be correct and negative marking may or may not be present.

· The third sub-section usually had integer type questions, where the answers were in the form of a single digit ranging from 0-9. But, in recent papers, we have seen this section is converted into a numerical type where the answer can be any number or any decimal number. There is usually error range for these questions ranging up to two decimal places from the actual answer. This section generally does not have negative marking but there’s always a possibility that the Examination Governing Body can introduce negative marking even in this section.

This distribution given is based on the analysis of the previous year question papers. There is no standard paper pattern for JEE Advanced Examinations. The JEE Advanced Governing Body may use a system of Permutation and Combination of the above-mentioned question type for drafting the Paper-I and Paper-II for JEE Advanced.

Now, since we have a vague idea of the structure of the examination, let's move to the syllabus of the examinations. It is very important the student knows in-outs of the syllabus as skipping a single concept can result in a drop of more than 100 ranks or maybe more than that (this value is totally empirical). And on the contrary, the student should not study concepts which are not part of syllabus because its simply time consuming and doesn't yield immediate benefit (for the future, maybe but definitely not for now.)

There are always mild changes in syllabus with successive years, so the student needs to make sure that he/she is not ignorant about such details.

Now, the students need to be acquainted with current news affiliated to PCM, since the Governing Body loves asking questions with respect to current trends.

Every student knows his/her capabilities to a certain extent. When you’re deciding to prepare for JEE,  the person should have a good assumption of his/her academic expertise and set a certain target for getting into selected IITs and should select their target rank and preferable branches because without it the preparation would not be streamlined and the student would suffer from immense psychological pressure because of not selecting proper targets.

Anyway,

Whishing you all the best for your journey to success,
