National,(thestates.news)| As the countdown begins for the JEE Advanced 2025
examination on May 18th, lakhs of aspiring engineers from all over the country are
preparing for one of India’s toughest competitive examinations. The test examines the
conceptual understanding, problem-solving skill, and analytical reasoning of the students
in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, requiring strategic preparation and targeted
revision.
JEE Advanced Exam Pattern 2025
The pattern of the 2025 JEE Advanced exam is totally different from that of the JEE Main
exam. The JEE Advanced exam consists of two papers: Paper 1 and Paper 2, with each
paper lasting three hours. The syllabus of this exam is based on Class 11 and 12 syllabus
topics in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Students must keep in mind that they have
to cover the important JEE Advanced chapter-wise weightage from the official syllabus to
prepare effectively. In Physics, the dominant themes are Mechanics namely Rotational
Motion and Laws of Motion, accounting for about 20% of the questions. Electromagnetism
(15-18%), Modern Physics (10-12%), Optics (10%), Current Electricity (8-10%), and
Thermodynamics (8%) share high weight too. Chemistry is split into Physical, Organic, and
Inorganic portions, with key focus areas like Chemical Kinetics, Coordination Compounds,
Thermodynamics, Organic Reaction mechanisms, and Biomolecules. Mathematics is going
to test Calculus, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Probability, and Vector & 3D Geometry with
Calculus alone contributing almost 20% to the paper.
Besides studying these chapters, the students are also encouraged to practice past year
papers, practice mock tests in simulated test conditions, and keep neat formula sheets for
easy revision.
It is to be noted that candidates are now permitted three attempts for JEE Advanced,
enhancing the prior two-attempt limit. This change allows candidates an additional chance
to maximize their performance across the JEE Advanced examination.
Expectations from Experts
Nitin Vijay, Founder and CEO, Motion, said, “JEE Advanced has a dynamic and
unpredictable question trend, with no fixed official pattern announced in advance. The
question formats may vary range from single correct answers to multiple correct, integer-
type, or matrix-match questions. Mathematics is often a challenging subject for students. In
contrast, Chemistry is generally perceived as scoring, therefore, any unexpected rise in its
difficulty can cause significant concern among aspirants. The Physics section of NEET 2025
was regarded as extremely difficult, especially in relation to students’ prior expectations.
This spike in difficulty caused panic since NEET Physics is typically considered simpler by
students, and any increase in challenge led to a disproportionate sense of difficulty.
Conversely, JEE Advanced is inherently challenging, and aspirants are psychologically
prepared to face complex questions. Even though the paper’s difficulty varies year to year,
it rarely induces panic or is deemed unusually hard by the candidates, who expect a
challenging exam as part of the norm.”
He further said, “Unlike NEET, which relies more on memory and speed, JEE Advanced
demands analytical thinking and integration of concepts. As of now, no major syllabus
changes or shifts in topic weightage have been reported for JEE Advanced 2025. Mock tests
are essential for success. Coaching institutes like Motion design mock exams closely
replicate the real exam environment, timing, and question difficulty. This simulation helps
students acclimate to the rigorous schedule (typically 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM –
5:30 PM), building resilience and reducing exam day anxiety. Adaptive learning platforms
further aid in identifying weak areas and strengthening conceptual clarity, which is critical
for excelling in this concept-heavy test.”
As D-day approaches, aspirants are encouraged to stay calm, focus on revision of high-
weightage topics, and keep practising with mock tests to sharpen their time management
and problem-solving skills. With consistent effort and strategic preparation, cracking JEE
Advanced 2025 is within reach.
