JEE Advanced 2020 Exam Pattern

The syllabus of JEE Advanced is declared by the examination authority. As per the official notification, JEE Advanced 2020 syllabus seems to have been kept the same as that of the previous year. The syllabus is basically mapped according to the NCERT curriculum and is almost similar to the Mains Syllabus (with a slight difference in the weightage for different topics).

Going through the syllabus will help the IIT aspirants to plan and schedule their preparation strategy.

All sections have an equal distribution of questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Math subjects. The exam is a computer-based online test and is conducted in two sessions. There are two papers Paper 1 and Paper 2 which contain three sections each.

However, the examination pattern of JEE Advanced is different from JEE Mains exam where apart from single correct multiple-choice questions other different types of questions such as numerical based questions are asked.

On the other hand, the questions asked in IIT JEE exams are mostly based on the concepts discussed in class 11 and 12 Maths, Physics and Chemistry syllabus. Nonetheless, the exam pattern of JEE Advanced 2020 is an upgraded version where questions are generally a combination of different concepts and it might sometimes appear intimidating and complicated to students.

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 360 marks and it is conducted in English and Hindi. Also, it is mandatory for students to attempt both 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. Practising more and more problems on concepts where students face difficulty is one of the best ways to tackle JEE Advanced.
