The number of attempts will be three for SC/ST candidates who have availed of the relaxed criterion of qualifying marks in the qualifying examination.
Exam Pattern
The JEE Advanced 2024 exam will consist of two objective-type papers designed to test candidates' knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Format: The exam is fully computer-based with a combination of multiple choice questions (MCQs), numerical value questions and drawing-based questions.
Number of Papers: There are two separate question papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2. Candidates must appear for both papers on the same day.
Subjects: The major subjects tested are Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Sections: Each paper is divided into three sections - Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Number of Questions: Each paper will have a total of 24 questions - 8 questions from each section.
Marking Scheme: Questions carry different marks depending on their difficulty level. Integer type questions carry +3 marks for correct answers and -1 for incorrect. Questions requiring a numerical value as the answer have +4 marks for correct response and no negative marking. Drawing-based questions have +4 marks with no negative marks either.
Total Marks: The maximum marks for each paper is 180. So the total marks for JEE Advanced is 360 marks.
The exam pattern aims to thoroughly test a candidate's conceptual knowledge and analytical abilities across the three subjects through a balanced mix of question types. Mastering time management across sections is also critical for success.
