The question papers will consist of various shades of objective type (multiple choice) and numerical answer type questions designed to test comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability of candidates.
Some of the questions will entail negative marking for wrong answering.
The question paper will be in either English or Hindi. Candidates must exercise the choice of question paper language while registering for JEE Advanced 2017.
Strategy for answering following types of questions:
Multiple Choice Single Correct: The best way to attempt these questions is to run through the Question- Option – Question way. Scanning the question again after the options in mind helps strategizing the approach to solve the question. Sometimes the options themselves guide the correct strategy or even the correct answer.
Multiple Choice Multi Correct: Each question has to be solved and mapped with all options. It may also happen that the options are same values written in different form. Statistically these are the questions with least percentage of correct responses.
Comprehension Based: Even if you know the concept mentioned in Comprehension, you should still read it thoroughly, there are chances of redefining a concept or providing hypothetical assumptions. In that case your conventionally correct approach might lead to incorrect answer.
Matrix Match Type (One to One Matching): If the question is of One to One matching, then your approach should be finding the odd one out (if any). This will help you quickly reach the correct mapping.
Matrix Match Type(One to Many Matching): This type of Matrix Match would be the most challenging and time taking. The suggested way would be to attempt this problem if you are confident on the concepts of all 4 rows, or else keep this question in abeyance for attempting last.
Integer Answer Type: Generally these questions are the subjective questions converted to objective, and hence would be time taking.
The correct way would be treat them as subjective and solve them only if you have a command on the topic or if you have attempted all other questions of the paper. These questions also have a low scoring statistical record.
Assertion Reasoning Type: These days these types of questions are not at all asked, but in case there are few questions of this category, be very careful if both the statements are correct.
Because, then it’s very tricky to decide between the options A and B. You can mark the correct response easily in any other case.
