How to Prepare for JEE Advanced 2025: Insights, Tips & Strategy
The JEE Advanced 2025 exam will be conducted by IIT Kanpur on May 18, 2025. Notably, IIT Kanpur also hosted this prestigious exam in 2011 and 2018. For aspirants aiming to crack the upcoming exam, analyzing the types of questions asked during those years is crucial.
❗ Why Knowing the Exam Pattern Matters
One key challenge of JEE Advanced is that it doesn’t follow a fixed format like JEE Main. Over the years, the total marks and paper structure have varied. While in recent years, the exam has commonly been for 360 marks (180 for Paper 1 in the morning and 180 for Paper 2 in the afternoon), past editions like 2011 and 2018 were conducted for 480 and 360 marks respectively.
This means assuming the exam will be for 360 marks could be misleading. Many students prepare based on this assumption, but the smart approach is to be ready for any variation in total marks and question format.
🧠 What Type of Questions to Expect in JEE Advanced?
Here are the types of questions that are usually included:
- Straightforward Objective Questions
- Multiple Correct Options (More than One Answer)
- Sometimes with partial negative marking
- Numerical Value/Paragraph-Based Questions
- May or may not include negative marking
- Matrix Match/Matching Type Questions
- Often include multiple correct answers
- Integer/Numerical Value Questions
- Assertion-Reason or Statement-Based Questions
Each paper (Paper 1 and Paper 2) typically includes 17–20 questions per subject, spread across 3 to 4 sections with mixed question types. Occasionally, the number of questions may go up to 23 per subject, but recently, most subjects have stuck to under 20 questions per paper.
🔑 Pro Tip: Practice solving 20–25 mixed-type questions per hour to develop speed, accuracy, and endurance for the real exam.
