How Many Questions Are There in JEE Advanced?

Understanding the Question Format and Structure of JEE Advanced

JEE Advanced is known for its dynamic and unpredictable paper pattern. Unlike JEE Main, which follows a fixed structure, JEE Advanced varies slightly every year in the number of questions, marking scheme, and types of questions asked.

Still, students and educators alike can draw a general pattern from the past years that helps in smart preparation and time management.

Paper Structure Overview

JEE Advanced consists of two compulsory papers:

• Paper 1
• Paper 2

Each paper is 3 hours long and covers three subjects:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Mathematics

You must attempt both papers, as they are equally weighted for final evaluation.

General Pattern of Questions (2023 Format Reference)

Though it changes year to year, here's a typical breakdown based on recent exams:

• Total Questions per Paper: 54
• Total Questions in Exam: 108

Note: The number of questions may vary slightly from year to year. IITs design the pattern to test conceptual clarity and adaptability, not just rote memorization.
