JEE Advanced

JEE Advanced stands for Joint Entrance Examination Advanced and is an entrance examination in the Engineering group. It is conducted in 2 stages (Paper 1, Paper 2), each with its own paper and marking scheme.

JEE Advanced is conducted in 2 stages: Paper 1, Paper 2. Each stage has its own question count, marks, duration, and negative-marking rules, shown on the exam pattern page.

Paper 1 has 48 questions worth 180 marks in 180 minutes, covering Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry.

Yes, but the exact deduction in JEE Advanced depends on the question type rather than one fixed rule. See the exam pattern page for the per-question-type breakdown. The same rule applies at every stage.

The figures on this page describe the JEE Advanced pattern for the 2026 cycle and were last checked on 9 August 2026, against the source linked on this page. It is marked official, meaning the primary document was read directly.

The JEE Advanced tests here are built to the sections the official Paper 1 pattern names (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry), and each is checked against that pattern before it is published. Granular topic labels beneath those sections are a TakeMockTest preparation map, not an official subtopic list, unless stated otherwise.
