Previous official JEE Advanced papers have included formats such as:
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
Multiple Select Questions (MSQ)
Numerical Answer Type questions
Matching List / paragraph-based questions
The official 2026 brochure does not prescribe one fixed question count or marking structure in advance; the marking details are displayed in the instructions available during the examination.
Computer-Based Examination
JEE Advanced is conducted only in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. Candidates answer questions using the computer system provided at the examination centre. They can navigate between sections and modify answers during the allotted examination time.
Candidates can also switch between English and Hindi during the examination.
Important Points for JEE Advanced 2027
Candidates should keep the following points in mind while preparing:
Both papers are mandatory. Missing either Paper 1 or Paper 2 means the result will not be prepared.
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are included in both papers.
Negative marking may apply to selected questions, so candidates should understand the instructions before attempting each section.
The final 2027 marking scheme should be checked in the official JEE Advanced 2027 brochure once it is published.
