JEE Advanced - Answer Key, Result, Paper Analysis and Question Paper

Joint entrance examination -advanced(JEE advanced) formerly known as Indian Institute of Technology - joint entrance examination is an academic examination held annually in our country. The JEE pattern has undergone many changes. Since 2010 candidates are given paper copies of their answers, and cutoffs are announced. This transparency was achieved after a tenacious legal tussle waged by IIT Kharagpur professor Rajeev Kumar, who was nominated for the National RTI Award 2010 for his crusade. Since 2013–14, JEE has changed a lot and recently adopted new online admissions and application selection procedures which were not available in recent years.

In 2012, the government-run Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) that earlier conducted the AIEEE, announced the JEE that replaced the AIEEE and IIT-JEE. The JEE-Main, which replaces AIEEE, is for admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and some other colleges designated as "centrally funded technical institutes" (CFTIs). The JEE-Advanced, which replaces IIT-JEE, is for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Only the students selected in JEE Main are eligible for appearing in JEE Advanced. About 224,000 students will be selected from 2018.

In September 2013, the IIT Council approved the decision of the Joint Admission Board to continue with the two-phase JEE pattern ("Main" followed by "Advanced") for IITs in 2014. Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducted the joint admission process for a total of 23 IITs, ISM, 32 NITs, 18 IIITs, and 19 other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs).

This exam is vital for engineering aspirants mostly for candidates who wish to seek admissions in premium institutes like IIT’s and NITs. JEE advanced is usually conducted by 7 different institutes IIT’s on a rotational basis every year. This year the examination was conducted by IIT Delhi.

JEE Advanced was conducted on September 27th around 2 lakh had registered for this year’s examination and the exam was held at 1150 centers in 222 different cities across the country.

What's New in JEE Advanced?

• JEE Advanced revised schedule and information brochure has been released on August 27.
• The JEE Advanced registration fee is now Rs 1400 for women/SC/ST/PwD and Rs 2800 for all other candidates.
• The number of new exam centers in JEE Advanced this year is 222 while 4 from the old list have been removed.
• The number of JEE Main candidates who will qualify to appear for JEE Advanced has been raised from 245,000 to 250,000.
• Paper 2 of JEE Advanced was conducted from 2:30 PM.
• For this year, MHRD has announced that all candidates who qualify 10+2 will be eligible for IIT admissions irrespective of their secured marks.

The authorities have announced that due to the current restrictions imposed on foreign travel and visa issuance, JEE Advanced was not held in foreign centers. Candidates staying Abroad should select their preferred choices from the list of exam cities in India. Earlier, HRD Minister Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" announced that candidates who have passed class 12 are eligible for admissions into IITs through JEE Advanced regardless of their secured marks

Now let’s move on to JEE main

JEE Main has two papers, Paper-I and Paper-II. Candidates may opt for either or both of them. Both papers contain multiple-choice questions. Paper-I is for admission to B.E./B.Tech courses and are conducted in a Computer Based Test mode. Paper-II is for admission in B.Arch and B.Planning courses and will also be conducted in Computer Based Test mode except for one paper, namely the 'Drawing Test' which shall be conducted in Pen and Paper mode or offline mode. From January an additional Paper - III is being introduced for B.Planning courses separately.

JEE Main, unlike JEE Advanced, has a fixed exam structure and is not subject to change every year. Paper-1 is of three hours duration and consists of thirty multiple-choice (single-correct) questions in each of the three subjects (physics, chemistry, and maths). 4 marks are awarded for correct answers and 1 mark is deducted for incorrect answers.

A new pattern consisting of 20+5 questions per subject is introduced in January with 20 multiple choice questions + 5 numerical type questions. In multiple-choice questions, 4 marks are awarded for correct answers, and no marks are deducted from numerical type questions.

From 2013 to 2016, the marks obtained in the class XII school board examination used to be accorded a 40% weightage in deciding the JEE Main all India ranks.

JEE Main (Joint Entrance Examination-Main) is a national level entrance examination conducted by NTA for admission into Engineering and Architecture courses in the top CFTIs, like the NITs, IIITs, and SFIs, Engineering Colleges of the participating states, and other participating institutes.

How To Handle Tough Topics in JEE Main Physics

1. Make a short note of all relevant facts and formulas of the given topic. This is the basic thing one can do to solve problems. Then memorize and understand it thoroughly. This may seem like a very basic thing, But I can assure you that this is an effective process, although how simple it may seem, very few students actually maintain this routine for the whole duration of their preparation.
2. Never try to solve the problem intuitively. This is one of the most common mistakes done by all the candidates. Try to rely on facts as much as possible. If you are at the initial stage of your preparation, then you should first write what is given in the question. Then analyze it and write the relevant formulae. This process will be a bit longer, but after some practice, you can directly skip to the step where you apply the formula.
3. Read the question very carefully. Generally, problems some critical information is hidden in the statement of the problem. For example, in some problems, the temperature of the water varies from 10 to 13. Now, the hidden information which you have to observe in this statement is that water attains its density maxima at 4°. This type of small information can make any problem really tough.
4. Now the last and, according to me, the most important piece of advice is related to how you solve the problem. The beauty of the Physics lies in the fact that you can master almost any topic by solving about 20 - 25 different questions. I know, this may seem a little bit far-fetched, but this is true.

How To Handle Tough Topics in JEE Main Mathematics

• Don’t panic whatsoever.
• Tough topics can also be easily solved if you have your basic concepts clear.
• On starting a question from these topics, try noting down every small detail and then proceed. Scribbling in the rough might make you do calculation mistakes.
• Try making a note of any different concept or out of the box question that you come across while practicing from any of these chapters. You should see such notes before the exam as that will help you in revising twisted concepts.
• To solve the past years’ papers to get an idea of the kind of questions that can be asked in the exam. That will help you in preparing accurately.
• Don’t leave the tougher topics for the end. Doing them at the end will make you panic and you wouldn’t be able to give proper time to them due to the same.
• During the exam also, do the tougher questions earlier.

How To Handle Tough Topics in JEE Main Chemistry

• Study from good books
• Put adequate efforts in studying named reactions
• Make a notebook containing all the reactions
• Study important topics really well
• Make reactions notebook
• Try to link things to the periodic table
• Use color codes for qualitative analysis
• Focus on concepts
• Use mole concepts to understand things
• Solve previous year papers

Greater effort but high scoring topics in Physics for JEE

1. Electromagnetism
2. Rotation
3. Magnetism
4. SHM

Don’t focus on formulas and focus more on concepts. Incline yourself to doing subjective problems from these topics as that will really help you derive things on your own from the very basics.

Make sure to make diagrams for the questions from these topics and analyze the situations properly before you start solving the problem.

Practice a lot to make sure that you are familiar with all known concepts and do miscellaneous question sets to get a better hold of the concepts.

Last year’s papers must be done to familiarize yourself with the kind of questions that can be asked in main and Advanced both.

Easier topics that have a high score

1. Modern physics
2. Current electricity
3. Newton’s laws of motion
4. Oscillations and sound
5. Heat and thermodynamics

Focus more on formulas and practice a lot.

Make short notes of all the formulas from such chapters and any theory points that you need to learn. Direct theory-based questions too can come from chapters like modern physics.

Focus more on speed and accuracy when it comes to such topics.

Archives are a must and you must try to do them in a time-bound manner.

Be a bit more regular in their preparation. You could see the formula list every once in a while or do a 30-minute question sheet to recall the formulas and concepts of such topics.

While solving mock tests, try doing the easier questions towards the end so that you are confident at the end too.

Try different methods of solving the same question during the mock tests. This will help you in looking up alternate ways which lead you to the answer much more quickly.
