** Attributed to Mr. Nitin Arora, Assistant Director Academics ENGG., Aakash BYJU'S Live

The Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2022 [JEE (Advanced) 2022] was conducted by the seven Zonal Coordinating IITs under the guidance of the Joint Admission Board 2022 (JAB 2022) on August 28, 2022. The performance of a candidate in JEE (Advanced) 2022 will form the basis for admission to the Bachelors, Integrated Masters, and Dual Degree programs (entry at the 10+2 level), mentioned in clause 2). Approximately 61% students who registered for the JEE Advanced, took this test in order to secure a prestigious seat in the desired IITs. This exam was conducted in online mode across 7 IIT Zones & 216 Cities in India. The exam had two papers (both compulsory for each candidate) i.e.

Paper 1 - 9 am to 12 pm (3hrs)               Paper 2 - 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm (3hrs)

The students had to attempt 108 questions in 2 papers. Each paper consisted of 3 subjects. Each subject again was divided in three different sections constituting different types of questions.Below is the table for the question paper pattern which was similar to all the subjects :

Question Type	No. of Questions	Marks for Each Question	Total Marks	Marking Scheme
Numerical Value	8	3	24	·  Correct numerical answer = +2 marks ·  In all other cases = 0 marks
MCQs more than one correct answer	6	4	24	·  If only (all) the correct option(s) is(are) chosen = +4 marks ·  If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen = +3 ·  If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen, both of which are correct = +2 marks ·  If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen and it is a correct option = +1 marks ·  No option selected = 0 marks ·  In all other cases = -2 marks
Matching List Sets (Single Correct Answer)	4	3	12	·  Correct answer = +3marks ·  No option selected = 0 marks ·  In all other cases = -1 marks

 

Section	Type Of Question
1	Numerical Value
2	MCQs more than one correct answer
3	Matching List Sets (Single Correct Answer)

JEE Advanced (2022) Overall Review -

·  Subject Wise & Overall Difficulty Level

Overall Difficulty Level (on a scale of 3) (Average of Paper 1 & 2) Easy - 1; Medium - 2; Difficult - 3
Physics	Chemistry	Mathematics	Overall
1.97	2.20	2.11	2.09

As per our expert faculties this year the overall difficulty level was moderate to difficult. As per the averages of Paper 1 & 2, Physics was the easiest section to attempt. The Physics section mostly consisted of moderate-level questions. Physics was the section with the highest number of easy questions.

Chemistry was the toughest section to attempt. The questions were lengthy & tricky to attempt. The Chemistry section consisted of mostly moderate-type questions. Chemistry was also the section with the most number of difficult questions.

Mathematics was moderately challenging. It was a bit more difficult than Physics but easier than Chemistry. The Mathematics section mostly consisted of moderate-level questions. Mathematics section of Paper 2 was more difficult to answer than that of Paper 1.

·  Class-Wise Questions Distribution:

Overall, questions from Class 12th syllabus were comparatively more (i.e, 34% more) than those from the Class 11th Syllabus .

·  Overall Review Compared to Previous Year

The difficulty level of the exam was a bit tougher compared to previous years as per our expert faculties.

Physics was at the same level as the previous year

Chemistry was more difficult than the previous year.

Mathematics was a bit easier than the previous year.

·  Cut-Off Expectations

This year we may see some increase in the final cut-off marks as compared to last year as the overall number of students appeared this year is more than last year.

Category	Expected Cutoff in each Subject	Expected Cutoff in Aggregate
Unreserved Category (UR)	5%	18%
Economically Weaker Section (EWS)	4.5%	16%
Other Backward Class (OBC-NCL)	4.5%	16%
Scheduled Caste (SC)	3%	10%
Scheduled Tribe (ST)	3%	10%
