Preparation
One of the most difficult engineering admission tests in India is JEE Advanced, which calls for careful planning, regular practice, and a solid conceptual grasp. A thorough approach to proper preparation is provided here.
1. Understanding the Exam Pattern
JEE Advanced consists of two papers:
Paper
|
Subjects
|
Duration
|
Mode
|
Paper 1
|
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
|
3 hours
|
CBT (Computer-Based Test)
|
Paper 2
|
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
|
3 hours
|
CBT (Computer-Based Test)
|
-
Both papers are mandatory
-
The exam follows a variable marking scheme (MCQs, numerical, matrix match, and comprehension-based questions)
-
Negative marking applies to some questions
2. Syllabus Breakdown
The syllabus for JEE Advanced is based on Class 11 and 12 NCERT concepts but with deeper problem-solving approaches.
Physics
-
Mechanics (Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy, Rotational Motion)
-
Thermal Physics (Heat, Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory of Gases)
-
Electricity & Magnetism (Electrostatics, Capacitors, Magnetism, AC Circuits)
-
Optics (Geometrical & Wave Optics)
-
Modern Physics (Photoelectric Effect, Atomic Models, Semiconductors)
Chemistry
-
Physical Chemistry (Mole Concept, Thermodynamics, Chemical Equilibrium, Electrochemistry)
-
Organic Chemistry (Reaction Mechanisms, Named Reactions, Biomolecules, Polymers)
-
Inorganic Chemistry (Periodic Table, Coordination Compounds, Transition Elements)
Mathematics
-
Algebra (Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Sequences, Probability)
-
Calculus (Limits, Differentiation, Integration, Differential Equations)
-
Coordinate Geometry (Straight Lines, Circles, Conic Sections)
-
Vectors & 3D Geometry

4. Study Plan & Strategy
✅ 6-Month Study Plan (Ideal for Full Syllabus Coverage)
Month
|
Target
|
Month 1-2
|
Revise Class 11 topics & master fundamental concepts
|
Month 3-4
|
Focus on Class 12 topics, solve previous years’ papers
|
Month 5
|
Take mock tests, analyze mistakes, improve weak areas
|
Month 6
|
Revise formulae, attempt full-length tests & manage time effectively
|
✅ Daily Study Routine
Activity
|
Time
|
Concept Learning (Theory & Notes)
|
3-4 hours
|
Solving Problems (Chapter-wise & Previous Year Papers)
|
4-5 hours
|
Mock Tests & Analysis
|
2 hours
|
Revision (Formulae, Short Notes, Key Topics)
|
1-2 hours
|
5. Practice & Mock Tests
-
Solve Previous 10 Years' JEE Advanced Papers
-
Attempt at least 20 full-length mock tests before the actual exam
-
Use online platforms like NTA Abhyas App, Allen, FIITJEE, Resonance Test Series
-
Track accuracy & speed and work on weaker sections
6. Time Management & Exam-Day Strategy
✅ Before the Exam:
-
Get 8 hours of sleep before the exam day
-
Avoid learning new topics at the last minute
-
Revise key formulae, tricks, and strategies
✅ During the Exam:
-
Attempt easier questions first to save time
-
Avoid guesswork on negative marking questions
-
Allocate 1 hour per subject in each paper
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Skipping NCERT in Chemistry – Must-read for Inorganic & Organic basics
❌ Ignoring Time-Bound Practice – Solving without a timer leads to slow performance
❌ Neglecting Paper 2 Practice – Both papers have equal importance
❌ Not Reviewing Mistakes – Learn from every test mistake to improve accuracy
