JEE Advanced 2026 Analysis: The JEE Advanced 2026 exam is expected to be conducted by IIT Roorkee. Most of the IIT JEE Advanced 2026 aspirants are curious about what can be expected for the IIT JEE Advanced 2026 exam in terms of difficulty level, important topics, pattern and cutoff. In the previous session, JEE Advanced paper 1 had 48 questions, and paper 2 also had 48 questions. The total marks of the exam were 360. Each section of maths, physics and chemistry had 16 questions each in paper 1 and also in paper 2. Paper 2 was said to be more difficult than Paper 1. 

This page also has an archive of JEE Advanced exam analysis from previous years (2025 to 2021). Candidates can check detailed JEE Advanced paper 1 and paper 2 analysis, like the marking scheme, difficulty level, topics asked, student reactions after the exam and more below on this page.

JEE Advanced 2026 Analysis: Expectations and Predictions Based on Trends

JEE Advanced 2026 exam analysis will let the candidates know what the trends have been in JEE Advanced difficulty level, weightage, expected cutoff, exam pattern, marking scheme and thus give an idea about how to deal with exam preparation. On this page, we will discuss a detailed JEE Advanced 2026 exam analysis based on past trends. Also, we will look into some predictions about the JEE Advanced 2026 exam based on expert analysis.

JEE Advanced 2026 Difficulty Level

JEE Advanced has always been known for its unpredictability, difficulty level, and focus on conceptual understanding. While no one can exactly predict the paper, analysing past year trends gives aspirants valuable insights into what they can expect in JEE Advanced 2026.

Over the years, the JEE Advanced difficulty level has stayed between moderate to difficult. Usually, the toughness level alternates between moderate-to-tough and very tough, depending on the year. Note that, the conducting IIT do not play a role in exam difficulty level, thus the difficulty level of JEE Advanced 2026 cannot be predicted based on the IIT conducting it.

JEE Advanced 2026 Analysis: Prediction about Difficulty Level

  • In the year 2023, the exam was described as lengthy and tricky in Physics and Mathematics.

  • In 2024, the candidates rated Chemistry easier, but Mathematics remained a nightmare and was consumed most time.

  • In the most recent year, that is in 2025, the exam was rated as one of the toughest in recent times, especially in Physics.

What can be predicted for 2026: Going by the trends, one can say that JEE Advanced 2026 may lean towards a balanced but conceptually challenging paper. One of the subjects is likely to be difficult and time-consuming. As the trends suggest maths and physics can be difficult and time consuming, respectively.

JEE Advanced 2026 Analysis: Subject-Wise Expectations and Predictions

With historic trends witnessed in the JEE Advanced exam, here is what to expect for each of the subjects asked in the exam:

Physics:

  • Expected to have a mix of numerical and experimental-type questions.
  • Prediction: medium-to-tough with emphasis on mechanics, electricity, and modern physics.

Chemistry:

  • Trends show Chemistry has been slightly easier in recent years. But, the inorganic part may come with some twists making chemistry a little bit difficult.
  • Prediction: Chemistry can be expected to have a balanced approach. Questions can come from all the topics of organic, inorganic and physical.

Mathematics:

  • Historic trends show that Maths is the toughest subject due to lengthy calculations. Probability, algebra, and coordinate geometry are likely to carry the most weightage in the exam.
  • Prediction: Tough and time-consuming.

JEE Advanced 2026 Analysis: Paper Pattern and Question Types

JEE Advanced is known for changing format in terms of the type of questions asked, the marking scheme, the number of questions asked and the total marks.

If we check the past few year pattern, then the following types of questions can be expected in the exam:

  • Numerical Value Type - the most trending type of question in JEE Advanced in recent years
  • Assertion and reasoning type question - very dominant in physics and chemistry
  • MCQs with multiple correct options 

The challenge the candidates might face in 2026 is time management and speed to complete the full paper.

JEE Advanced 2026 Cut-Off Predictions

The cut-off for JEE Advanced depends on paper difficulty and student performance. For instance:

  • 2023 cut-off (General category): 23.89%

  • 2024 cut-off (General category): 30.34% 

  • 2025 cut-off (General category): 20.56%

If the 2026 exam follows a balanced difficulty, the cut-off is expected to be around 24–26% for the general category.

JEE Advanced 2026 Analysis: Key Takeaways for Aspirants

  • Focus on Concepts, Not Rote Learning: JEE Advanced rewards deep understanding. Questions are often based on mixed concepts, unlike in JEE Mains, where a question is based on one single concept only.

  • Prepare for Surprises: At least one subject will have unexpected twists, as seen every year. The twist can be in the form of exam format, questions being extraordinarily difficult or maybe the introduction of a new type of questions.

  • Improve Speed + Accuracy: Numerical-type questions demand precision. Hence, not only speed, but JEE Advanced also demands accuracy.

  • Do Not Neglect Any Subject: Even if Chemistry seems easy in one year, it can get tricky the next. Therefore, no one topic is more important than the other. treat all the topics available in the JEE Advanced syllabus with equal weightage while preparing for the exam.

  • Mock Test Analysis: Solving past 10 years’ JEE Advanced papers will give the best insight. Practice one JEE Advanced mock test per day and gradually increase the frequency as the exam nears. Train your body and mind to attempt the 6-hour-long exam.
