JEE Advanced Analysis

JEE Advanced Examination consists of two papers, which are carried out in two shifts on the same day. The candidates need to appear in both papers to qualify on a merit basis. The online exam is held in various cities across India. JEE Advanced is conducted for the sole purpose of granting admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), which are among the most esteemed engineering institutions in India.

In this article, candidates will know the exam pattern, difficulty level, expected cutoff, weightage and marking scheme for the JEE Advanced exam and thus have an idea about their chances of admission. Aspirants can check the detailed JEE Advanced Paper 1 and Paper 2 analysis on this page.

1.0JEE Advanced 2024 Paper Analysis

JEE Advanced 2024 was conducted in two sessions (Paper 1 and Paper 2). Paper-1 was conducted from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm in the morning session and Paper-2 was conducted from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm in the evening session for candidates applying for engineering seats in the most esteemed engineering institutions in India.

Below, we have provided a brief overview of the JEE Advanced 2024 Exam Analysis by ALLEN Experts. 

JEE Advanced 2024 Physics Paper Analysis

In the JEE Advanced 2024 Physics exam, the focus was predominantly on the Class 12 syllabus. Paper 1 was generally easier, whereas Paper 2 was moderate with more complex calculations.

In the table given, we have provided the JEE Advanced 2024 Physics Paper Analysis.

JEE Advanced Mathematics Paper Analysis

Paper 1 of Mathematics was difficult and lengthy. While Paper 2 was of moderate level and lengthy. In both the papers, questions were asked from Functions, Matrices, Permutation and Combination, Conic Section, Probability and Statics, Complex Numbers, Vectors and 3-D Geometry. The number of questions from Calculus was less as compared to previous years. Solution of the triangle was removed from the syllabus but still, questions were asked by making comprehension.
