Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced is the second phase of the IIT entrance exam, following JEE Main. It is specifically for admissions to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and a few other prestigious institutions. Below is a detailed overview of JEE Advanced, including course details, benefits, and examination specifics.

Subjects Covered:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Mathematics

Syllabus Overview:

The syllabus is more extensive and advanced compared to JEE Main. It is designed to test deep conceptual understanding and analytical skills.

1. Physics

• General: Units and dimensions, error analysis.
• Mechanics: Kinematics, laws of motion, rotational dynamics.
• Thermal Physics: Laws of thermodynamics, kinetic theory.
• Electromagnetic Waves: Electromagnetic induction, AC circuits.
• Optics: Reflection, refraction, wave optics.
• Modern Physics: Atomic structure, nuclear physics.

2. Chemistry

• Physical Chemistry: Gaseous and liquid states, chemical kinetics.
• Organic Chemistry: Hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds.
• Inorganic Chemistry: Periodic table, transition elements.

Mathematics

• Algebra: Quadratic equations, sequences and series.
• Trigonometry: Identities, equations.
• Calculus: Limits, continuity, integration.
• Coordinate Geometry: Straight lines, circles.
• Vectors and 3D Geometry: Vector algebra, 3D geometry.

Preparation Strategy:

• In-depth Study: Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote learning.
• Advanced Problems: Solve high-level problems and previous years' papers.
• Time Management: Allocate sufficient time for each subject and practice.
• Coaching: Specialized coaching may be beneficial due to the complexity of the exam.

Benefits:

• Admission to IITs: Qualifying JEE Advanced grants admission to IITs, known for their academic excellence and global reputation.
• Exposure to Research: IITs offer opportunities in cutting-edge research and innovation.
• Networking: Connect with some of the brightest minds and industry leaders.
• Global Recognition: IIT graduates have strong international career prospects.
• Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Strong support systems for startups and innovations.

Examination Details:

Mode of Examination:

• Computer-Based Test (CBT): Conducted online.
• Sessions: Examination is typically conducted annually in May or June. The exact dates vary each year and are announced by the organizing IIT, which rotates annually among the IITs.

Structure of Exam:

JEE Advanced consists of two compulsory papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2. Both papers must be taken to be considered for ranking.

General Features of Both Papers:

• Duration: Each paper is of 3 hours.

• Sections: Each paper typically has three sections (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics).

Type of Questions:

• MCQs (Single or multiple correct options)

• Numerical Value Questions

• Matrix Match Questions

•Integer Type Questions

Detailed Examination Pattern:

Paper 1 & Paper 2:

• Sections: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics.

• Question Types:

• Single Correct Option: Multiple-choice questions with one correct option.

• Multiple Correct Options: Multiple-choice questions with one or more correct options.

•Numerical Value Questions: Answers in numerical form.

•Match the Columns: Matching type questions.

• Marking Scheme: Varies each year, typically involves partial marking for partially correct answers and negative marking for incorrect answers.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. Performance in JEE Main: Must rank among the top 2,50,000 candidates in JEE Main.

2. Educational Qualification: Must have passed or be appearing in the class 12th examination.

3. Age Limit: General category candidates must have been born on or after October 1, 1999 (with age relaxation for reserved categories).

4. Number of Attempts: A candidate can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.

Examination Fees:

• Vary based on category and gender, with different fees for Indian and foreign candidates.

Preparation Tips:

1. Understand Concepts: Emphasize clarity over memorization.

2. Regular Practice: Consistent practice of high-level problems.

3. Analyze Mistakes: Learn from errors in mock tests.

4. Balanced Study: Give adequate time to all three subjects.
