The JEE (Advanced) examination was conducted in two slots, including paper-1 and paper-2—each paper contained questions from physics, mathematics and chemistry of equal weightage.

“Physics part was relatively analytical in comparison to the other sections but overall, the entire paper stressed on basic concepts that needed simple analytical skills to score high marks,” said Keshav, a student.

He added there was no chance of clearing the JEE (Advanced) by hit-and-trial method. It is lear nt that mathematics part had tricky options, emphasising, on logical side of question.

“One could easily score 70% if he/she had all the fundamentals clear in his mind,” said a student.

The JEE (Advanced) this year was similar in terms of the level of the difficulty but most of the students opined the paper was neither too difficult nor easy. The results of the test will be declared on June 19.
