Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE)

The JEE Advanced exam is the second stage of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) in India, taken by students who qualify in the JEE Main. This exam is specifically for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and select other prestigious institutes.

Entrance for Colleges

JEE Advanced is primarily for:

  1. Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) – the top technical institutes in India offering B.Tech, B.Sc., and dual degree programs.
  2. Other institutes that accept JEE Advanced scores for specific programs, like the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER).

Exam Pattern

JEE Advanced typically consists of two papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2), both of which are mandatory. Each paper includes:

  1. Physics
  2. Chemistry
  3. Mathematics

Key features of the exam pattern:

  1. Type of Questions: JEE Advanced includes a mix of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), numerical value-based questions, and match-the-following questions.
  2. Marking Scheme: It includes a complex marking scheme with partial, full, and negative marking, which varies by question type.
  3. Exam Mode: Online computer-based test.
  4. Duration: Each paper lasts 3 hours (4 hours for students eligible for extra time), with a break in between.

Subject-Wise Distribution (Indicative)

Each paper has three sections (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics), with a mix of question types:

  1. Physics: Topics include Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Thermodynamics, Modern Physics, and Optics.
  2. Chemistry: Divided into Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry.
  3. Mathematics: Topics like Algebra, Calculus, Vectors, Coordinate Geometry, and Trigonometry.

Total Marks

  1. The total marks vary every year as the exam pattern is not fixed and may change annually.
  2. Both papers together usually have a combined total of 350-400 marks.

Key Points to Note

  1. No Fixed Pattern: JEE Advanced is known for its unpredictability; the question format and marks distribution can change every year.
  2. Focus on Conceptual Clarity: The exam demands a strong grasp of fundamental concepts and the ability to apply them to solve complex problems.

Tentative Exam Date

JEE Advanced is generally held in May, approximately two to three weeks after the JEE Main April session results. For 2025, the tentative date would likely be in the third or fourth week of May.
