Pattern, marking scheme, free Advanced-format mock tests, subject-wise practice and strategy — everything for JEE Advanced 2026 on one page. Next exam: 18 May 2026.
| Paper | Duration | Questions | Subjects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | 180 min | ~51 (varies yearly) | Physics · Chemistry · Maths |
| Paper 2 | 180 min | ~36–54 (varies) | Physics · Chemistry · Maths |
Both papers run on the same day (morning + afternoon sessions). Question types: single-correct MCQ, multiple-correct (MSQ), numerical-value, and occasionally matching-list — the exact mix changes every year and is announced in the official brochure.
| Type | Correct | Wrong | Unattempted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-correct MCQ | +3 | −1 | 0 |
| MSQ (multi-correct) | +4 full · +1 to +3 partial | −2 if any wrong option | 0 |
| Numerical value | +4 | 0 | 0 |
Partial marking on MSQs means: tick only the options you are SURE of — you earn credit for each correct one and are penalised only if you tick a wrong one. Always verify the exact scheme in that year's official brochure.
