Q:   What is a safe score for JEE Advanced to get an IIT?

A:

It is a very relatable thing. A good score in JEE Advanced will depend on various factors one of them being the cutoff. Further, the cutoff will depend on various factors like the difficulty level, paper pattern, number of seats in the IITs, number of candidtaes taking the exam and so on. Therefore, it is difficult to say what will be a safe score. However, 300+ is a safe score in JEE Advanced if the total marks in the paper is 360.

JEE Advanced 2024 cutoff has been the highest in the past 6 year. This year the cutoff marks has been 109 marks for the Common rank list (CRL) out of 360 marks. For the GEN-EWS and OBC-NCL rank list the cutoff marks is 98; for SC/ST/Common-PwD/GEN-EWS-PwD/OBC-NCL-PwD/SC-PwD/ST-PwD is 54 marks and for Preparatory course rank lists it is 27 marks.

Q:   What is the minimum score or rank required in JEE Advanced to get into a good IIT?

A:

The definition of godd IIT can be relatable. The candidates who wish to get admisison to the first generation of the IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, and IIT Roorkee must have a high score of 250+ marks out of 360 marks. However, this is not applicable for all courses offered by these IITs. Every course and IIT has different demand and seat ratio which effects the admission of the cabdidates. Hence it is very difficult to say what will be the minimum score or rank required in JEE Advanced to get into a good IIT.

Candidates must aim to score as high as possible in the exam to be get seat in the first generation of the IIts as these IITs see the most demand.

Q:   What is JoSAA?

A:

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) has been set up by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) to manage and regulate joint seat allocation for admissions to over 100 institutes including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs). Admissions to all these institutes will be done through a single platform. The idea behind introducing a single counselling platform was to reduce thousands of seats going vacant in engineering colleges across the country. The Joint seat allocation process was introduced to make the whole process of admissions smoother, effective, efficient, transparent and a lot faster. Candidates who qualify for the JEE Main or JEE Advanced must register for JoSAA 2025 to participate in the counselling and admission process for various renowned engineering institutes across India. The admission process for admissions in 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 25 IIITs, and 28 Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs) is managed by The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). Candidates will be allotted seats in various rounds of JoSAA counselling. The seat allotment through JoSAA will be based on the merit of candidates and their preference for courses and colleges.

JEE Advanced Paper 2 marking scheme and question distribution as per last year:

Q:   How to score well in JEE Advanced?

A:

Here are the top 7 strategies that any students may follow to clear JEE Advanced exam with ease: 1. Solve As Many Numerical Problems as Possible JEE Advanced exam focuses on testing the candidates comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability. The questions asked in the three subjects of Physics Chemistry and Mathematics are of advanced level and focus on the application of the concepts rather than the concepts themselves. 2. Keep Track of Strengths and Weaknesses For scoring perfect marks, candidates must be prepared perfectly as well. This means keeping an eye on their strengths and weaknesses and trying to avoid making the same mistake twice. Errors occur when one is unsure of himself/herself, and uncertainty is the last thing any candidate would want while attempting questions in the exam. 3. Set Daily Targets Setting daily targets serves two purposes. One, the entire syllabus is divided into short-term goals that need to be achieved daily, and two, the focus of the students remains unwavering until the long-term goal is achieved. 4. Develop a Subject-wise Study Plan Different students have varied levels of command over different subjects. Someone may be good at Physics and Mathematics and need more effort in Chemistry or the other way round. 5. Keep a Positive Outlook JEE Advanced is not the end of the world, but that does not mean it should be taken lightly. Moreover, if a candidate appears for JEE Advanced then it is natural that they have qualified the JEE Main exam after beating Lacs of competitors. This means that a positive mindset can help achieve the steepest of goals under any circumstance. Hence, students should always keep a positive outlook for the best results. 6. Refer to Previous Years Question Papers 7. Attempt Mock Tests. Hope it helps.

Q:   How many days are sufficient for the preparation of JEE Advanced?

A:
Cracking JEE Mains and JEE Advanced is not possible in few days or months, it requires continuous efforts through two long years. If a student is focused and doing the studies regularly, revising the concept on daily basis and solving questions on each topic will definitely going to get success in first attempt.

Q:   How many chapters should be covered for JEE Advanced for fast revision?

A:
The chapters that cover for JEE Advanced fast revision are: Physics Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics Waves Thermodynamics Modern Physics Chemistry: Physical Chemistry (Mole Concept, Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Thermodynamics Organic Chemistry (Basic Principles, Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, Amines Inorganic Chemistry (Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, Coordination Compounds, p-Block Elements, d-Block Elements) Mathematics: Algebra (Quadratic Equations, Sequences and Series, Permutations and Combinations, Complex Numbers), Calculus (Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Indefinite and Definite Integrals Differential Equations Coordinate Geometry (Straight Lines, Circles, Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola), Vectors and 3D Geometry, Probability.

Q:   How to prepare for physical chemistry of JEE Advanced?

A:

To solve and score well in physical Chemistry you should get through with the concepts and formulas. Keep practicing more and more questions and solve weekly worksheet with practice you will be able to solve questions easily. Also check important topics: Important chapters for JEE Main Chemistry: Chemical Kinetics. Transition Elements (d and f block) s-block Elements. Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure. Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry. P-block Elements. Coordination Compounds. Chemical Thermodynamics. Oscillations And Waves. Rotational Motion. Electrostatics. Atoms And Nuclei Heat and Thermodynamics. It is probably the most difficult yet one of the important topics for JEE Main Physics. Mechanics. Electrostatics and Magnetism. Current Electricity. Optics. Modern Physics Electromagnetic Induction. Conclusion.

Q:   JEE Advanced syllabus feels overwhelming. How to cope with it?

A:

JEE Advanced syllabus can sometimes feel like an infinite sea. So, candidates can get overwhelmed. Thus, here is what to do:

  • Firstly, it is crucial to keep yourself updated with the ongoing chapters in your class. It is highly recommended to read ahead of what you are being taught in class. This technique has been proven to be helpful for every person who believed themselves to be average and not incredibly smart.
  • Secondly, it is essential to mark the difficulty level of the questions when you attempt them for the very first time. This way, you can categorize them according to their level of difficulty. Then, it is recommended to revise the theory and revisit the marked questions. You should filter out the questions again accordingly to their level and mark them differently for Mains and advanced. (Note: This idea works for inorganic chemistry too but it must be learned by heart first.). Now, whenever you feel the need to revise any topic, just go through the marked questions. If you can do them, practice past year questions. In case you get stuck, you can always refer to your notes or clear your doubts during doubt sessions. This technique is believed to be the best method for effective learning.
