JEE Advanced which is the second phase after JEE Main exam is an important test for engineering aspirants. This entrance exam is a computer-based exam and is usually conducted by seven different Indian IITs (Indian Institute of Technology) on a rotational basis. The online exam consists of two sessions each for Paper 1 and 2 that is carried out in two stages on the same day. It is mandatory for all the students to appear for both the papers in order to be eligible for the merit list. Candidates have to perform well in the exam as they are granted admissions to various undergraduate courses as well as masters and dual degree programs offered by IITs based on marks scored or ranks in JEE Advanced.

Once aspirants secure the desired score in the JEE Main they will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced. The main purpose of JEE Advanced is to provide admissions for B.E. or B.Tech. courses and includes 23 IIT and 9 Primer institutes.

Through JEE Advanced, candidates can secure admissions to the following courses:

• 4 year Bachelors - BTech, BS
• 5 year BArch
• 5 year Dual Degree - BTech, MTech, BS, MS
• 5 year Integrated Masters - MTech, MSc, Dual DegreeDetailed information about the examination will be present in JEE Advanced exam pattern . Using the exam pattern, the candidates can check how the examination will be conducted, the type of questions which will be asked, marking scheme and more. One important thing to note about JEE Advanced exam pattern is that it is not fixed i.e., it is open to change every year.

The general details about the JEE Advanced exam pattern are given below:

• Examination Mode – Computer Based Test
• Number of Shits- 2 (9 am to 12 pm & 2 pm to 5 pm)
• Duration of Exam - 3 hours
• Mode of Language – English and Hindi
• Paper in JEE Advanced  – Paper I and Paper II. Each paper will be each divided into three parts – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
• Sections – The three parts will each be divided into three sections – Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3.
• Nature of Questions – Multiple Choice Questions, Numerical Questions, Matching List Questions
• Marking Scheme – According to the particular question, the allotted full, partial, zero and negative marks will be given.

Types Of Questions Asked In JEE Advanced

• Section 1 comprises of multiple correct option type questions
• Section 2 comprises of Numerical Value type questions
• Section 3 comprises of Single Correct multiple choice questions (Paper 1) and Matching list type questions (Paper 2)

The exam duration for each paper is 3 hours, the total marks allocated is not constant and it is conducted in English and Hindi. Also, it’s mandatory for students to attempt both the papers. Knowing the examination pattern is crucial for candidates as it reveals the structure of the question paper like the types of questions asked and its marking scheme. However, the most prominent feature of JEE Advanced is its unpredictable paper pattern.

Highlights

• The national-level exam is being conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode.
• JEE Advanced  has two compulsory papers of 3 hours duration each – Paper I and II.
• Questions in each paper is asked from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Candidates need to answer questions from each subject (or section).
• Question types are multiple choice (objective), numerical and list match sets.
• Some questions may have multiple correct options, in which case the candidate needs to get all the options rights to get full marks. If the candidate gets only one or few of the options right, then partial marks will be awarded. If no attempt is made, zero marks will be awarded.
• There are negative marking for some questions. Detailed instructions about the marking scheme will be mentioned in the question paper.
• The exam will be available in English and Hindi languages. But please note that only one language can be chosen. For example, if the candidate selects English at the begging of the test, then it cannot be changed midway to Hindi.
• Total marks is not a constant – An interesting aspect of JEE Advanced that has been observed in the last couple of years is that though the total number of questions remain the same (54 questions for each paper), the total marks can fluctuate. 

JEE Advanced 2019 Eligibility Criteria

JEE Advanced 2019 eligibility criteria are the list of requirements and conditions that the candidates have to satisfy to participate in the examination, Before filling the application form, the candidates were advised to check the eligibility criteria of JEE Advanced 2019. Ineligible candidates would be disqualified from the examination process. JEE Advanced eligibility criteria have been listed out below:

• Age Limit – General category candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1994. Relaxation of 5 years is provided to the candidates belonging to SC/ST/PwD category.
• Qualifying Examination – Should have passed 10+2th standard qualifying (or equivalent) examination in 2018. Those who are appearing for the exam in 2019 will also be eligible for JEE Advanced.
• JEE Main – The candidates should have qualified JEE Main examination. The cutoff for admissions into IITs should also be met by the candidates
• Number of Attempts – For JEE Advanced, the candidates would be able to attempt the examination two times in two consecutive years.
• JEE Admissions – The candidates should have never taken admission in an IIT irrespective of whether they continued the programme or not or just accepted the seat by reporting at the center. The candidates who have earlier joined any IIT but had subsequently cancelled their admission will also not be termed eligible for JEE Advanced.

It is important to realize that having a good preparation for JEE is crucial for candidates. JEE preparation requires a smart, systematic and continuous effort

• The first thing that students should do is have a proper timetable. Having a dedicated study time and follow it with religiously. Allocate proper time for each subject so that the entire syllabus is covered and revisions can effectively be done before the exams.
• Another important tip that students can follow is to know the in and out of the syllabus. Being thorough with the syllabus will help students to get an insight into the important topics and focus on spending more time studying these topics.
• It is very crucial for students to get a clear understanding of all the fundamentals as JEE exams are designed specifically to test the student’s knowledge about certain topics and how they approach specific problems as well find solutions.
• Students should know that using too many reference books or inappropriate study material can have a negative impact on their preparation. Thus, they should limit their resources and instead go for the right and helpful books. Students can start their preparation by going through their respective Class XII textbooks and they can also refer to NCERT books as these hold a greater significance. Here students should also remember to study topic wise and not just subject wise.
• In order to prepare effectively for JEE , students should engage themselves in solving past question papers or sample papers as well as attempt mock tests. This will not only help candidates be aware of their preparation level but figure out which areas they need to improve and manage time properly. This will also help raise the confidence level of the aspirants.
