JEE Advanced 2024 Paper Analysis:
IIT Madras conducted the JEE Advanced 2024 examination on Sunday to secure admission to India's premier engineering institutions. Paper 1 was held from 9 AM to 12 PM, while Paper 2 took place from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
Nitin Vijay, founder and CEO of Motion Education, mentioned that the difficulty level of JEE Advanced 2024 was similar to last year's, ranging from medium to tough overall, with all questions being solvable. Both Paper 1 and Paper 2 maintaied a consistent difficulty level - moderate to tough.
This year, the difficulty level of Mathematics for Paper I varied from tough to moderate. Questions were asked from topics like Statistics, Definite Integral Functions, including smaller questions on Permutation and Combination, 3-D Geometry, and Circles while others were lengthy. In Chemistry, there were numerous questions from Organic Chemistry. Additionally, direct queries from NCERT made up the Inorganic Chemistry portion. Physical Chemistry featured questions from Thermodynamics, Chemical Equilibrium, Chemical Kinetics, and Atomic Structure with candidates being tested on mixed concepts in Organic Chemistry. Questions on Amines, Polymers, and Biomolecules were predominantly asked. Physics focused on Electrostatics, Kinematics, Modern Physics, and Optics.
In comparison to Paper 1, Paper 2 was slightly more difficult
Nitin Vijay stated that Mathematics was somewhat easier, while Chemistry had a moderate difficulty level, and Physics ranged from moderate to tough. Organic Chemistry was intermittently challenging. Questions related to the Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, Mechanics, and Thermodynamics were asked in Physics. Mathematics wasn't overly calculative. In Chemistry, questions were raised from Biomolecules and Organic Substances.
Each shift had 17 questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, totaling to 51 questions. Each subject was allotted a maximum of 60 marks, which were divided into four parts of 12-12 marks. The first part consisted of single correct questions, offering three points for the right answer and minus one for an incorrect one. The second part had multiple correct questions, yielding four points for the correct answer and minus two for the wrong one. There were total questions from Numeric and Integer types. Match the Column had four questions, which was akin to single correct questions providing three points for the right answer while wrong responses attracted a penalty of -1 mark.
Responses to be released on May 31
Before the commencement of the examination in the first shift, students were allotted computers and examination desks at 8:30 AM. Around 25 minutes prior to the exam start, students were expected to log in using their JEE-Advanced roll number and date of birth on their computers, and read the instructions provided. JEE-Advanced examination pattern and marking scheme are not pre-determined, hence it is crucial to read the guidelines on the computer. Post-examination, responses will be released on May 31.
Results to arrive on June 9
The provisional answer key for JEE Advanced 2024 will be available online on June 2, followed by an opportunity to raise objections. The final answer key and the results will be announced on the official website jeeadv.ac.in on June 9. Successful candidates will receive category-wise All India Ranks, and notification via text message. Individual rank cards will not be issued.
Increased chance of seat allocation for women
17,385 seats are available across 23 IITs in the country, with more than 191,000 students applying. This makes for a competition of approximately 11 students per seat. 20 percent of the seats belong to the Female Supernumerary Quota, which is allocated over and above the Female Pool Quota. Typically, the gender ratio in JEE-Advanced is 65 and 35 percent for boys and girls, respectively. Hence, girls probability of securing a seat in the IITs increases in comparison to boys.
