    JEE Advanced 2025: Last 10 Year’s Analysis

    In 2025, JEE Advanced AIR 1 scored 332 out of 360 which is a significant decline of 23 marks than the previous year’s AIR 1. The toppers’ marks show a decline in all subjects compared to the last three years.

    In 2024 the highest topper score was 355 out of 360, just 5 marks away from full score. This performance was particularly notable for Chemistry, where the topper scored a rare full 120 marks.

    However, 2025 saw a dip, with the topper scoring 332, a 23-mark drop. Why? Experts point to a tougher Chemistry section and a slightly more challenging Mathematics paper. While Physics remained strong across the board (with 116 in 2025 and 118 in 2024), Chemistry took a noticeable hit in 2025 — dropping from 120 to 105. Despite this, 29.1% of students qualified this year. Below is a table consisting of the JEE Advanced topper marks of the last five years:\
