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.

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.

In 2021, Paper 2 was harder, ranging from moderate to tough. Notably, the Chemistry section in 2021 had more questions from the Class 12 syllabus, requiring a good understanding of these topics to score well.

We at ALLEN have years of experience with thousands of successful students. Our well-organized study materials, regular mock tests and sectional tests, and frequent doubt sessions will ensure your success.


Frequently Asked Questions:

A candidate can appear a maximum of two times in two consecutive years for JEE Advanced.

The responses of all the candidates who have appeared for both Paper 1 and Paper 2, recorded during the exam, along with the questions of each paper, will be available for downloading from the candidate portal whose link will be made available on the JEE (Advanced) website after the examination.

It is safe for the SC/ ST to score a minimum of 45 marks, while for OBC, the minimum required marks are 81. For the general category, one has to score at least 91 in the JEE exam to qualify further. However, it is essential to note that one has to be in the top 2.5 lakh ranks in JEE Main to qualify for JEE Advanced.
