The JEE Advanced consists two parts i.e Paper 1 and Paper 2. The JEE Advanced 2017 exam pattern consists of:

  • The Paper 1 includes Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It has 10 sets with 54 questions for a total of 183 marks.

 

  • The Paper 2 also includes Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It also consists of 10 sets with 54 questions for a total of 183 marks.

It is mandatory for a candidate to appear for both the papers. These question papers contain objective type that includes Multiple Choice Questions as well as numerical answer type of questions. The candidates can avail question papers in both English and Hindi. The marking procedure includes negative marking for certain questions. The questions are designed to assess comprehension, analytical ability and reasoning of the candidate.

To know the examination  pattern is the basic for a student’s preparation. It acquaints one with the number and types of questions with a clear introspection about the negative marking system. All these preparations ensure avoiding basic errors. This small step can indeed prove to be a big leap in doing the best preparation for JEE Advanced.
