FAQs
Q 1. Is JEE Advanced syllabus different from JEE Mains?
Answer: The syllabus for JEE Main and JEE Advanced is basically the same but the exam pattern and the question paper constitution is different. For that, students must check the JEE Advanced Syllabus and JEE Advanced Exam Pattern thoroughly.
Q 2. Does the JEE Advanced syllabus remain the same every year?
Answer: The JEE advanced syllabus is usually the same every year (unless there are changes in the school curriculum) but the topic-wise or chapter-wise weightage may differ each year.
Q 3. Can out-of-syllabus questions be expected in JEE Advanced?
Answer: The questions asked in the JEE Advanced exams are mostly from the syllabus defined in the information brochure. Since the difficulty level of JEE Advanced questions is higher compared to board exams, students need to have a deeper understanding of concepts.
Q 4. Is JEE Advanced syllabus the same as NCERT?
Answer: JEE Advanced syllabus covers all the topics that students learn in classes 10, and 12 as part of the NCERT syllabus. JEE Advanced syllabus for all 3 subjects - Maths, Physics, and Chemistry - is provided above for the reference of candidates.
Q 5. Is the Class 12th pass certificate enough to apply for JEE Advanced?
Answer: No. Clearing the class 12 board examination is not enough to be eligible to apply for JEE Advanced. The candidate must qualify for the JEE Mains with the necessary cut-off marks to register for the JEE Advanced exam.
Q6. What is the syllabus of IIT JEE Advanced?
Answer: For the reference of students, we have provided the detailed, JEE Advanced 2023 Physics syllabus, JEE Advanced 2023 Maths syllabus and JEE Advanced 2023 Chemistry syllabus here on the page.
