JEE Advanced 2025 Paper Analysis : The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur is conducting JEE Advanced 2025 examination on May 18, 2025, in two shifts. The first shift was conducted from 9 AM to 12 PM, and the second shift was held from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. After the conclusion of each shift, the feedback of the candidates on the examination will be shared here. Furthermore, the complete analysis of the Shift 1 and Shift 2 papers will be provided by our subject experts.

JEE Advanced 2025 Student Reviews

Based on the submissions received from the candidates, the student reviews on JEE Advanced 2025 exam have been provided here:

Shift 1

Based on initial reactions from the students, the overall paper was Moderate.
The exam asked a total of 48 questions, with 16 questions divided equally between each section, the same as last year's JEE Advanced 2024.
The mathematics section was Moderate, with a long problem to solve, and 7 to 8 questions were highly doable.
Physics was Moderate to Tough, also wave topic questions were a little bit challenging.
While chemistry was easy. Most of the questions came from NCRT textbooks in the chemistry section.
Numerical-type questions have no negative markings.

Shift 2

Based on initial student feedback, the overall difficulty level of the paper in Shift 2 was Moderate to Tough, and slightly more challenging compared to Shift 1 of JEE Advanced 2025.
The number of questions remained the same in both shifts.
According to student reviews, the Mathematics section was moderate but time-consuming, while Physics was also moderate and Chemistry was relatively easy.
A noticeable change in Shift 2 was the exam pattern, there were no paragraph-based or matrix match-type questions, which added to the difficulty. Instead, the paper included a higher number of integer-type questions.
Overall, JEE Advanced 2025 was somewhat more difficult compared to the previous year.
As a result, the JEE Advanced 2025 cutoff is expected to drop slightly, likely falling in the range of 90 to 95 marks.
