For each question answered correctly, four points are awarded. For each incorrect answer, one point is deducted. No points are awarded or deducted for unanswered questions. Now the marking scheme has changed and there are 25 questions with +3 and -1 points and 5 questions with a numerical answer which do not have negative marking.

Paper One: Each section contains 10 multiple choice questions with one correct answer, five multiple choice questions with one or more correct answers, and five questions that require the test taker to provide a single-digit answer. Paper Two: Each section contains eight multiple choice questions with one correct answer, eight questions that require responding to a reading passage, and several “matching list”-type questions.

Physics: Kinematics, laws of motion, gravity, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, electronic devices. Chemistry: States of matter, atomic structure, redox reactions, chemical kinetics, environmental chemistry, periodic groups, basic organic chemistry principles. Mathematics: Quadratic equations, mathematical induction, sequences and series, matrices, integral calculus, differential equations, coordinate geometry.

Note that while mock tests mimic computer-based versions of the JEE almost perfectly, paper-based versions of the JEE will require you to record your answers by hand on an official answer sheet — for obvious reasons, online mock tests can’t replicate this part of the testing experience.

Because the JEE is relatively new (the exam replaced the old IIT-JEE in 2013), only question papers from 2014 are available. However, since the test is offered multiple times per year, as of late 2014, eight papers have been published, offering plenty of practice material. In addition, question papers for the old IIT-JEE (also available online) will cover most of the same topics.

As an example of the sort of valuable information that may be released in a JEE bulletin, one recent bulletin contained important information on test takers’ eligibility for admission to various Indian engineering and architectural programs.

The exam will be organized twice a year (January and April) in a computer-based mode The syllabus, exam pattern, language, and fees of the examination will not change Students can appear either once or twice for the exam. Only the best score of the two will be taken into consideration for admissions There will be multiple sittings of the exam. A student is free to choose the test dates, centre and schedule within a test period The highest level of encryption will be used to make the exam more secure. Thus, it will be free from paper-leakage issues and other malpractices Every candidate will get a unique question paper which will be decided by a software that would randomly pick up questions. This will minimize the chances of cheating NTA plans to use new age tools like Artificial Intelligence to set questions and prepare answer key Psychometric Analysis of previous years’ tests will be undertaken by the exam conducting authority JEE Advanced will be conducted only once a year by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) as was done earlier.

One great source for JEE test questions is Khan Academy. This relatively well-known academic site offers free educational material on a huge variety of topics and even has a page dedicated specifically to JEE test prep

It’s also a wise idea to pick books that contain full solutions with explanations (and not just answers) for every question — this way, if you don’t understand a question, you’ll get the luxury of being walked through the question step-by-step, rather than having to piece the solution together based off the final answer.

Some students may find it useful to read old textbooks directly — if this is the case for you, feel free to. However, for many, the “dense” way material is presented in many textbooks can make it almost impenetrable, so this may not be a great use of your test prep time.

If you’re not sure how to allocate your time, try reviewing your grades from school — spend your most time studying the subjects that you get the poorest marks in.

Try to use the internet only for study purposes. Don’t waste your study time on games or social networking until the exams are over. If you can’t seem to overcome these online distractions, try downloading and installing a productivity app (most browsers will have these available for free in the browser store).

You don’t necessarily need to be able to complete the entire test within the time limit the first time you try to do so, but you should work to increase your speed so that you’re able to finish the whole test in 180 minutes (with as few questions skipped as possible) by the date of the test.

This advice isn’t unique to the JEE. Neglecting your physical needs (especially sleep) before any test has been demonstrated to lower your score on average. [2] X Research source
