JEE Advanced study guide
JEE Advanced · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
JEE (Advanced) 2026 is the entrance examination for undergraduate admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology; for the 2026-27 session the portal also confirms it as the route to BTech admission at IISc Bengaluru through JoSAA 2026. IIT Roorkee is the organising institute, and the examination was held on Sunday, 17 May 2026 as a computer-based test in two papers, with the question papers published in English and Hindi. It is aimed at candidates who qualify JEE (Main) 2026 and then register on the JEE (Advanced) portal. That registration opened on 23 April 2026 and was extended to 11:59 pm on 5 May 2026, while Foreign National and OCI/PIO(F) candidates used a separate direct registration route that opened on 6 April 2026. The JEE Advanced study guide has 3 sections and about 1,060 words.
01Physics: Mechanics, Fields and Modern Physics
Physics in JEE Advanced spans mechanics, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, and modern physics, but the paper rarely asks single-formula recall. Problems combine two or three chapters - for example, a charged particle moving in crossed fields inside a capacitor, or a thermodynamic cycle coupled to a spring - and numerical-answer questions require a final value to the requested precision.
384 words, about 2 min02Chemistry: Physical, Inorganic and Organic Reasoning
Chemistry in JEE Advanced is divided into physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry, but questions often cross boundaries: an equilibrium problem may require thermodynamics, and an organic reaction may hinge on acid–base strength. The exam tests quantitative reasoning, structure–reactivity relationships, and mechanism-level explanations rather than isolated facts.
351 words, about 2 min03Mathematics: Calculus, Algebra and Coordinate Geometry
Mathematics in JEE Advanced tests algebra, calculus, coordinate geometry, vectors and 3D geometry, probability, and trigonometry. The paper favours multi-step problems, rigorous domain checks, and questions where a clean substitution or symmetry argument saves time.
