JEE Advanced sample questions

A few real JEE Advanced questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.

PhysicsSample 1

A particle moves along a straight line so that its speed depends on position as v = 4 sqrt(x) (all quantities in SI units). The acceleration of the particle is:

  • A.proportional to x
  • B.8 m/s squared, constant
  • C.16 m/s squared, constant
  • D.zero

Solution: Acceleration a = v (dv/dx). With v = 4 x^(1/2), dv/dx = 2 x^(-1/2), so a = 4 x^(1/2) * 2 x^(-1/2) = 8 m/s squared, independent of x.

ChemistrySample 2

The mass of oxygen required for the complete combustion of 16 g of methane (CH4) to CO2 and H2O is (atomic masses C = 12, H = 1, O = 16):

  • A.32 g
  • B.48 g
  • C.64 g
  • D.16 g

Solution: CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O. 16 g of CH4 is 1 mol, which needs 2 mol of O2 = 2 * 32 = 64 g.

MathematicsSample 3

The quadratic equation whose roots are the squares of the roots of x squared - 5x + 3 = 0 is:

  • A.x squared - 19x + 9 = 0
  • B.x squared + 19x + 9 = 0
  • C.x squared - 19x - 9 = 0
  • D.x squared - 25x + 9 = 0

Solution: If a + b = 5 and ab = 3, then a squared + b squared = 25 - 6 = 19 and a squared * b squared = 9. The required equation is x squared - 19x + 9 = 0.

About the JEE Advanced exam

The gateway examination for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Only candidates who first clear JEE Main and rank among the top qualifiers are eligible to sit JEE Advanced, whose score decides IIT seat allocation through JoSAA counselling.

What is the JEE Advanced exam?

JEE Advanced is the entrance examination for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). It is conducted once a year by one of the IITs on a rotating basis, under the guidance of the JEE Apex Board. Unlike JEE Main, which is a screening and qualifying exam taken by lakhs of students, JEE Advanced is open only to the top qualifiers of JEE Main — around the top 2.5 lakh candidates across categories — making it a genuinely selective, second-stage examination.

The exam has two compulsory papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2, each three hours long, and each testing Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It is computer-based. What sets JEE Advanced apart is that its pattern is not fixed: the organising IIT changes the number of questions, the question types and the marking scheme every year. A typical paper mixes single-correct MCQs, multiple-correct MCQs, integer/numerical-answer questions and match-the-column sets, often with partial credit and section-wise negative marking. This unpredictability is deliberate — it rewards deep conceptual understanding and adaptability rather than memorised templates.

How JEE Advanced differs from JEE Main

JEE Main is the qualifying gateway: it is more predictable, largely single-correct and numerical in format, and it decides admission to the NITs, IIITs and GFTIs as well as eligibility for JEE Advanced. JEE Advanced sits one level above it. The questions are longer, more multi-step and more conceptual; a single problem may weave together two or three ideas, and the multiple-correct format punishes shallow reading. Where JEE Main rewards speed and accuracy on standard problems, JEE Advanced rewards the ability to analyse an unfamiliar situation from first principles.

After JEE Advanced, seat allocation into the IITs is done through JoSAA counselling on the basis of your Common Rank List (CRL) and category rank. Candidates interested in the B.Arch programme at the IITs that offer it must additionally clear the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT). Because both papers count and the marking varies, the exam favours candidates who are strong and balanced across all three subjects rather than those who lean heavily on one.

JEE Advanced eligibility & exam pattern

Check whether you meet the JEE Advanced eligibility criteria and understand exactly how the paper is structured and marked before you plan your preparation.

Eligibility criteria

JEE Main rank
You must qualify JEE Main and be among the top rank-list candidates (roughly the top 2.5 lakh across categories) declared eligible for JEE Advanced.
Number of attempts
A candidate may attempt JEE Advanced at most twice, in two consecutive years.
Age
Age criteria apply as specified in the information brochure, with relaxation for reserved categories per the rules of the year.
Class 12 (or equivalent)
You must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, in the current or the immediately preceding year.
Earlier IIT admission
Candidates already admitted to an IIT (or who have accepted an IIT seat earlier) are generally not eligible, subject to the year's rules.
Number of subjects
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are all compulsory in both papers; there is no subject choice.

JEE Advanced deliberately changes its pattern every year — the organising IIT decides the number of questions, the question types (single-correct MCQs, multiple-correct MCQs, integer/numerical-answer questions and match-the-column) and the marking, which typically combines full marks, partial marks for partially correct multiple-answer questions, and section-wise negative marking. Both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are compulsory and each runs for three hours, covering Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. There is no single fixed scheme, so candidates must read the instructions of each year's paper carefully. On ExamguruX we use a representative single-correct scheme of +3 for a correct answer and -1 for a wrong answer so that you can practise the depth and pacing of the exam; every question carries a fully worked solution. The real ranking is based on the aggregate of both papers subject to per-subject and aggregate qualifying cut-offs.

Duration: 6 hours (two 3-hour papers).

How to prepare for JEE Advanced

A proven, focused JEE Advanced preparation method — from building strong fundamentals to peaking with full-length mocks.

  1. 1

    Build unshakeable fundamentals

    JEE Advanced tests concepts, not recall. Make sure every core idea in mechanics, electromagnetism, physical/organic/inorganic chemistry and calculus is understood from first principles so you can apply it to unfamiliar situations.

  2. 2

    Practise multi-concept problems

    Advanced questions often combine two or three topics in one problem. Solve mixed problem sets rather than single-topic drills so you learn to recognise which ideas a question is quietly pulling together.

  3. 3

    Master every question type

    Because the pattern changes yearly, get comfortable with single-correct, multiple-correct, integer/numerical and match-the-column formats. Multiple-correct questions with partial marking especially reward careful, complete analysis.

  4. 4

    Balance all three subjects

    Ranks depend on the aggregate of both papers and on per-subject cut-offs, so a weak subject can sink an otherwise strong score. Keep Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics all above the qualifying line.

  5. 5

    Simulate the two-paper day

    Take full three-hour mocks for Paper 1 and Paper 2, ideally on the same day, to build the stamina and focus the real six-hour examination demands, and review every solution afterwards.

  6. 6

    Read each year's instructions carefully

    Since marking and question types are announced fresh each year, spend the first minutes of the real paper understanding the marking scheme so you attempt strategically and avoid needless negative marking.

JEE Advanced scores, ranks & cut-offs

JEE Advanced does not publish a fixed marking scheme in advance: the number of questions, the mix of single-correct, multiple-correct, integer/numerical and match-the-column types, and the partial and section-wise negative marking are all set fresh each year by the organising IIT. What stays constant is that both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are compulsory, each is three hours long and each covers Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Ranks are decided on the aggregate of both papers, subject to per-subject and aggregate qualifying cut-offs. The bands below are indicative — actual cut-offs shift every year with paper difficulty.

JEE Advanced marks vs. rank

Indicative marks: Further relaxed subject-wise and aggregate cut-offs

PwD (each category)Relaxed

Indicative marks: Additional relaxation in the qualifying marks

JEE Advanced deliberately changes its exam pattern, question types and marking scheme every year, and the organising IIT rotates annually. The indicative cut-offs, closing ranks and dates shown here reflect recent cycles only and will shift with seat matrices, paper difficulty and candidate choices. The +3 / -1 single-correct scheme used on ExamguruX is a representative practice scheme, not the official marking. Always confirm the current pattern, eligibility, marking and schedule from the official website, jeeadv.ac.in.

JEE Advanced — frequently asked questions

Quick, reliable answers to the questions JEE Advanced aspirants ask most.

Who is eligible to appear for JEE Advanced?

You must first qualify JEE Main and rank among the top candidates declared eligible (roughly the top 2.5 lakh across categories). You also need to have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and you can attempt JEE Advanced at most twice in two consecutive years, subject to the age and other criteria in that year's brochure.

How is JEE Advanced different from JEE Main?

JEE Main is the qualifying gateway and admits to the NITs, IIITs and GFTIs; JEE Advanced is the second stage, taken only by top Main qualifiers, and admits to the IITs. Advanced questions are deeper and more multi-step, its pattern and marking change every year, and it uses formats like multiple-correct and numerical-answer questions with partial and negative marking.

What is the exam pattern and marking scheme of JEE Advanced?

There are two compulsory papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2, each three hours long and each covering Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The number of questions, question types (single-correct, multiple-correct, numerical-answer, match-the-column) and the marking — including partial credit and section-wise negative marking — are decided fresh each year by the organising IIT, so there is no fixed scheme.

How are IIT seats allotted after JEE Advanced?

Seats in the IITs are allotted through JoSAA counselling on the basis of your Common Rank List (CRL) and category rank, after you fill and lock your branch and institute choices. Candidates seeking B.Arch at the IITs that offer it must also clear the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT).

How should I use these JEE Advanced mock tests?

Take the full three-hour mocks to build the stamina and pacing the two-paper exam demands, and use the topic tests to drill Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics to Advanced depth. Because our questions are multi-step and conceptual, review the worked solution for every one — understanding why an answer is right matters more than the score.

Does JEE Advanced have negative marking?

Yes, but the exact scheme varies each year and by question type. Many single-correct and numerical questions carry negative marking, while multiple-correct questions often award partial marks and apply section-wise penalties. Always read the marking instructions printed in each year's paper before you start attempting.
