JEE Advanced 2025 Syllabus

Hey! If you're choosing between Aakash and Vedantu for JEE Advanced, Aakash is often considered the better option overall—especially for its strong track record, experienced faculty, and structured approach. Their regular test series, doubt-clearing sessions, and detailed study material give a solid foundation for both JEE Main and Advanced. If you’re okay with a more rigid schedule and possibly higher fees, Aakash gives excellent results year after year. That said, Vedantu is still great for flexible learning at home. But for serious JEE Advanced prep, Aakash usually stands out as the stronger choice.

HELLO,

If you are a General category student with PwD (Persons with Disabilities) status and you want to get into Computer Science (CSE) at IIT Madras you will usually need a rank around 4 in the PwD category.

To get that kind of rank, you should aim for at least 95 marks or more in JEE Advanced. The exact marks needed can change each year depending on how difficult the paper is and how other students perform.

Since CSE at IIT Madras is one of the top choices even in the PwD category the competition is still tough though not as high as in the general category.

To appear for JEE Advanced , candidates must meet certain eligibility criteria regarding their 12th board exam . Specifically, the criteria for the number of attempts in JEE Advanced are based on the year of passing the 12th exam .

Here’s the relevant information:

Number of Attempts for JEE Advanced:

1. First Attempt :

   • A candidate must have passed their 12th exam (or equivalent) in the year of appearing for JEE Advanced or the previous year.

   • For example, if you are appearing for JEE Advanced 2025 , you must have cleared your 12th exam in 2024 or 2025 .

2. Maximum Attempts :

   • A candidate can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of 2 times in consecutive years.

   • This means if you have already appeared for JEE Advanced in the previous year , you can attempt it once more the following year.

Example:

• If you clear your 12th exam in 2025 , you will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2025 and JEE Advanced 2026 (if you meet other eligibility criteria).

• If you miss JEE Advanced 2025 , you can still appear in 2026 as long as it’s within your 2-year window after passing the 12th exam.

Important Points:

• Your 12th board exam marks (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) will be considered for determining eligibility and ranking in JEE Main .

• JEE Advanced eligibility depends on your JEE Main rank and meeting the cutoffs as well as other criteria like age, nationality, and more.

The registration for JEE Advanced 2025 has already concluded, with the last date being May 2, 2025. Since you haven't registered yet, you won't be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced this year. However, if you're interested in pursuing a B.Arch program, you can consider the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT), which is conducted after JEE Advanced. The AAT 2025 registration will be from June 2 to June 3, 2025, and the exam will be held on June 5, 2025. AAT is only for candidates who qualify JEE Advanced.

For JEE Advanced 2025 preparation, focus on some relatively easier chapters to build your confidence. In Physics, you can start with Optics, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics, as they are more manageable compared to other topics. In Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, especially reactions and functional groups, is easier to grasp. You can also focus on Basic Inorganic Chemistry and Surface Chemistry. In Mathematics, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, and Integral Calculus are usually less complex and will help strengthen your basics. Once you’re comfortable, gradually move to tougher chapters while practicing and revising regularly.

No, you cannot opt for OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes – Non-Creamy Layer) reservation in JEE Advanced 2025 if you didn't choose it during your JEE Main registration. According to the official guidelines, the category selected during JEE Main registration cannot be changed for JEE Advanced. So, you will be considered under the General (GEN) category for JEE Advanced 2025, even if you qualify for the OBC-NCL category.

To secure a seat in an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) through JEE Advanced, you need to fulfill a set of conditions that cover your performance in JEE Main, your academic background, and other criteria. Here's a breakdown of the key conditions:

First and foremost, you must qualify in JEE Main and be among the top 250,000 candidates (including all categories) who clear Paper 1 of JEE Main. This is the primary filter to be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

Secondly, there are criteria related to your Class 12 (or equivalent) examination . You must have passed this examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Additionally, you need to either secure at least 75% aggregate marks in the qualifying examination (65% for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) or be within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in your respective Class 12 board examination.

Regarding the number of attempts , a candidate can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years. For JEE Advanced 2025, candidates must have appeared for their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2024 or 2025. Those who appeared for the first time in 2023 or earlier are generally not eligible.

There is also an age limit . Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 2000. However, there is a five-year age relaxation for SC, ST, and PwD candidates, meaning they should have been born on or after October 1, 1995.

Finally, candidates who have already been admitted to an IIT under any academic program in previous years (through JoSAA) are generally not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced again. However, there are some exceptions for those who were admitted to a preparatory course or whose admission was cancelled before the final round of seat allotment.

In simple terms, to get into an IIT through JEE Advanced, you need to perform well enough in JEE Main to be eligible, pass your Class 12 with good marks (or be a top performer in your board), be within the allowed number of attempts and age limit, and not have already taken admission in an IIT previously. Make sure to check the official JEE Advanced website for the most up-to-date and detailed eligibility criteria.

You cannot change your category from OBC (State) to General EWS during JoSAA counseling if your category is not listed in the central OBC list. Your category will be considered based on the documents provided during the JEE Advanced application process.

Since you’ve qualified JEE Mains Paper 2 but not Paper 1, you cannot apply for JEE Advanced directly, as the eligibility for JEE Advanced requires candidates to have qualified JEE Mains Paper 1 .

Important Points:

1. Eligibility for JEE Advanced : You must qualify Paper 1 of JEE Mains, which is the entrance exam for JEE Advanced . Paper 2 is for B.Arch aspirants and does not affect eligibility for JEE Advanced.

2. Which Score is Counted : For JEE Advanced , only the Paper 1 score is considered, and it’s used to determine your eligibility for the exam.

What to Do Next:

• You may be able to apply for other B.Arch colleges based on your Paper 2 result, but for JEE Advanced, you would need to clear Paper 1 in a future attempt.

Cleared only Paper 2 in JEE mains

Hi Adhya! Congratulations on clearing JEE Advanced !
