Assertion-Reason (A-R) questions are a specific format used in subjects like Physics and Chemistry. These questions follow a simple format where you are presented with two statements - an assertion which is a claim about a concept and a reason which acts as the justification of the claim. Your task is to evaluate both the statements independently, after which a relationship is established between them. These types of questions were previously witnessed in competitive exams like JEE as they test more than just memorisation. As observed in the past patterns, both JEE Main and JEE Advanced used A–R questions, which led many students to feel that they were an integral part of their conceptual understanding. Even though JEE Main has not used this format for the last few years, JEE Advanced is still likely to bring them back anytime, depending on the exam pattern decided by the conducting IIT. With JEE 2026 approaching, many aspirants are wondering whether Assertion–Reason questions might reappear on the question paper. This article breaks down the trends, possibilities, and important things students should keep in mind.
