Frequently Asked Questions
What is the eligibility for JEE Advanced 2027?
You must be among the top 2.5 lakh JEE Main 2027 qualifiers. Additionally, you need at least 75% in Class 12 (65% for SC/ST) or be in the top 20 percentile of your board. Maximum 2 attempts in consecutive years.
How many papers are in JEE Advanced?
JEE Advanced consists of 2 papers — Paper 1 and Paper 2, each of 3 hours (180 minutes). Both papers are compulsory and conducted on the same day. Total marks: 360 (180 per paper). Each paper has Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics sections of 60 marks each.
What is the marking scheme for JEE Advanced?
MCQs with single correct answer: +3 for correct, -1 for incorrect. Multiple correct questions: partial marking if all chosen options are correct with no wrong options. Numerical answer type: +3 for correct, 0 for incorrect. Exact marking scheme is disclosed on exam day.
What is the JEE Advanced 2027 exam date?
JEE Advanced 2027 is expected in mid-May 2027 (the exam is always held on a Sunday — the third Sunday, i.e. May 16, 2027, is the likely window but it is not yet officially announced). Paper 1 runs in the morning session (9 AM-12 PM) and Paper 2 in the afternoon (2:30-5:30 PM). The organising IIT will publish the confirmed date with the notification.
What types of questions are in JEE Advanced?
JEE Advanced includes single correct MCQ, multiple correct choice, numerical answer type, and paragraph-based questions. Questions are designed to test deep conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills across multiple topics.
What is AAT in JEE Advanced?
The Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) is a separate 3-hour exam for B.Arch admission at IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee. Only candidates who qualify JEE Advanced can sit AAT — it is held a few days after the main exam and judged on drawing, 3D perception and aesthetic sensitivity. There is no separate ranking; AAT is pass/fail for B.Arch admission.
Is there negative marking in JEE Advanced?
Yes, but the scheme varies by question type and paper. Single-correct MCQs typically carry negative marking for wrong answers, multiple-correct questions award partial marks for partially correct selections, and numerical-answer questions have no negative marking. The exact scheme for each section is printed on the question paper itself on exam day.
What is the 75% board criteria for IIT admission?
Along with qualifying JEE Advanced, you need at least 75% aggregate in Class 12 (65% for SC/ST/PwD) or a top-20-percentile rank in your board to be eligible for IIT admission through JoSAA. This applies at admission time, not at exam registration.
How does JEE Advanced rank work in JoSAA counselling?
Your JEE Advanced category rank (CRL and category-wise) is what JoSAA uses to allocate IIT seats across 5-6 rounds. Your category (OPEN/EWS/OBC-NCL/SC/ST) rank list position decides eligibility for each programme, and seat allotment depends on your filled choices, rank, and seat availability each round.
What were the JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying marks?
Per the official jeeadv.ac.in notice, the minimum for rank-list inclusion in 2026 was: Common Rank List — 8% in each subject and 92 marks (of 360) aggregate; OBC-NCL and GEN-EWS rank lists — 7% per subject and 82 aggregate; SC and ST rank lists — 4% per subject and 46 aggregate. Minimum percentages vary by year with paper difficulty.
How to Prepare for JEE Advanced
Master problem-solving under time pressure with timed mock tests
Study HC Verma for Physics and JD Lee for Chemistry
Focus on multi-concept problems that combine 2-3 topics
Practice integer-type and matrix-match questions
Solve all previous year papers from 2019-2025
Focus on conceptual clarity rather than rote memorization
Practice partial marking questions to maximize score
Paper 1 and Paper 2 on the same day means two 3-hour peak performances — train for back-to-back sessions in your mock schedule
Since the marking scheme is disclosed on exam day, practise reading question instructions first — misreading a marking rule costs more than a hard question
