Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is JoSAA?
A: 

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) has been set up by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) to manage and regulate joint seat allocation for admissions to over 100 institutes including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs). Admissions to all these institutes will be done through a single platform. The idea behind introducing a single counselling platform was to reduce thousands of seats going vacant in engineering colleges across the country. The Joint seat allocation process was introduced to make the whole process of admissions smoother, effective, efficient, transparent and a lot faster. Candidates who qualify for the JEE Main or JEE Advanced must register for JoSAA 2025 to participate in the counselling and admission process for various renowned engineering institutes across India. The admission process for admissions in 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 25 IIITs, and 28 Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs) is managed by The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). Candidates will be allotted seats in various rounds of JoSAA counselling. The seat allotment through JoSAA will be based on the merit of candidates and their preference for courses and colleges.

Q:   How many days are sufficient for the preparation of JEE Advanced?
A: 

Cracking JEE Mains and JEE Advanced is not possible in few days or months, it requires continuous efforts through two long years. If a student is focused and doing the studies regularly, revising the concept on daily basis and solving questions on each topic will definitely going to get success in first attempt.

Q:   How many chapters should be covered for JEE Advanced for fast revision?
A: 
The chapters that cover for JEE Advanced fast revision are: Physics Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics Waves Thermodynamics Modern Physics Chemistry: Physical Chemistry (Mole Concept, Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Thermodynamics Organic Chemistry (Basic Principles, Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, Amines Inorganic Chemistry (Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, Coordination Compounds, p-Block Elements, d-Block Elements) Mathematics: Algebra (Quadratic Equations, Sequences and Series, Permutations and Combinations, Complex Numbers), Calculus (Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Indefinite and Definite Integrals Differential Equations Coordinate Geometry (Straight Lines, Circles, Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola), Vectors and 3D Geometry, Probability.
Q:   JEE Advanced syllabus feels overwhelming. How to cope with it?
A: 

JEE Advanced syllabus can sometimes feel like an infinite sea. So, candidates can get overwhelmed. Thus, here is what to do:

  • Firstly, it is crucial to keep yourself updated with the ongoing chapters in your class. It is highly recommended to read ahead of what you are being taught in class. This technique has been proven to be helpful for every person who believed themselves to be average and not incredibly smart.
  • Secondly, it is essential to mark the difficulty level of the questions when you attempt them for the very first time. This way, you can categorize them according to their level of difficulty. Then, it is recommended to revise the theory and revisit the marked questions. You should filter out the questions again accordingly to their level and mark them differently for Mains and advanced. (Note: This idea works for inorganic chemistry too but it must be learned by heart first.). Now, whenever you feel the need to revise any topic, just go through the marked questions. If you can do them, practice past year questions. In case you get stuck, you can always refer to your notes or clear your doubts during doubt sessions. This technique is believed to be the best method for effective learning.

Paper-1:   Immediate reaction of students: Students found the overall level of paper Moderate to Difficult level but not easy. Students have reported Maths was Easy to Moderate, Chemistry was Moderate, but Physics was relatively difficult.

  • Chemistry was a not balanced as more weightages given to Organic Chemistry. Inorganic Chemistry had few questions which were directly from NCERT. In Physical Chemistry questions covered chapters of Chemical Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, Atomic Structure& Thermodynamics. In Organic Chemistry, questions mostly asked from Amines, Polymers, Biomolecules, Oxygen containing Compounds, some named reactions were also asked. Mixed concepts questions were asked. This section was reported Moderate as per students.
  • Physics. More weightage was given to chapters like Kinematics, Rotational Motion, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Modern Physics, Capacitors, Current Electricity, Optics, Electrostatics, Electromagnetic Induction. Overall Physics was reported Tough as compared to the other two subjects as per students. This was a Balanced Section as per students.
  • Mathematics was Easy to Moderate as per students. There were questions from Functions, Limits, Definite Integrals, Matrices, Statistics & Probability. Some good questions were asked from chapters of Permutation & Combination, Probability, Complex Numbers, 3-D Geometry, Circles and Ellipse.  Some questions were reported Lengthy.

No mistakes reported till now as the complete paper is yet to be analysed. As the test was Computer-based students had the option to Clear Response to change any option, they could mark it for Review, Save and next to proceed further. Scribble Pads were given to students during the exam for rough work.
