The official website for JEE Advanced exam 2026 has been launched which is jeeadv.ac.in. Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced, earlier known as IIT JEE, has a historical timeline starting from 1961. Over the years, the JEE Advanced exam has gone through several changes in its name and format. Also, JEE Advanced is considered one of the toughest exams in the world. In 2013, the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was renamed JEE (Main), and IIT-JEE was renamed JEE (Advanced). This led to the JEE (Main) becoming the screening exam for JEE (Advanced). In 2018, JEE (Advanced) was transitioned from a pen-and-paper-based exam to a computer-based test mode.

In this article, we will try to understand what pattern is followed by the IITs to conduct the JEE Advanced exam annually, the exam difficulty level over the years, and whether or not the conducting IIT impacts the JEE Advanced difficulty level.

Which IIT Sets the Toughest JEE Advanced Paper?

It cannot be said which IIT is known to set the toughest question paper for the JEE Advanced exam. However, as per many, IIT Guwahati is known to set the toughest JEE Advanced papers because in 2016, when IIT Guwahati conducted the JEE Advanced exam, the paper was very tough with some controversies. But IIT Guwahati conducted the exam again in 2023, and that year, the paper was pretty normal and usual.

• Secondly, it is important to understand that the level of the JEE Advanced paper difficulty is not influenced by the conducting IIT. This factor is independent of the exam's difficulty level.
• Thirdly, it is important to recognise that the level of the JEE Advanced paper difficulty is not constrained by any particular trend over the years. The perceived difficulty level of the exam is based on the opinions of experts and the perceptions of students. The level of difficulty of the exam will always be determined by the level of preparation of the students taking the exam.
