JEE Advanced 2026: Strategy to attempt JEE Advanced :

As the JEE Advanced question paper involves different types of questions, so is the strategy for answering them

Single Choice Correct: The best way to attempt these questions is to run through the Question–option–question way. Scanning the question again after the options in mind helps strategize the approach to solve the question. Sometimes the options themselves guide the correct strategy or even the correct answer.
Multiple Choice Correct: Each question has to be solved and mapped with all options. It may also happen that the options are the same values written in different forms. Statistically, these are the questions with the least percentage of correct responses.
Comprehension Based: Even if you know the concept mentioned in Comprehension, you should still read it thoroughly, there are chances of redefining a concept or providing hypothetical assumptions. In that case, your correct approach might lead to an incorrect answer.
Matrix Match Type (One-to-One Matching): If the question is of one matching, then your approach should be finding the odd one out(if any). This will help you quickly reach the correct mapping.
Matrix Match Type (One to Many Matching): This type of Matrix Match would be the most challenging and time-consuming. The suggested way would be to attempt this problem if you are confident in the concepts of all 4 rows, or else keep this question at bay for last.
Integer Answer Type: Generally, these questions are subjective questions converted to objective, ones and hence would be time-consuming. The correct way would be to treat them as subjective and solve them only if you have a command of the topic or if you have attempted all other questions of the paper. These questions also have a low-scoring statistical record.
Reason Assertion Type: These days these types of questions are not at all asked, but in case there are few questions of this category, be very careful if both the statements are correct. Because, then it’s very tricky to decide between the options A and B or else you can mark the correct response easily.

Success Mantra for JEE Advanced:

Remain focused and Don’t discuss anything with friends outside the JEE Advanced exam centre.
Read all the instructions in the question paper carefully before starting to answer.
Solve the paper in two rounds. In the first round, start with the subject as per your comfort level attempting all easier and moderate-level questions with not more than 45 minutes on each subject.
Use the last 45 minutes to solve the remaining questions in the second attempt and those marked for review.
Do not spend more than a minute on any question if you find that you are not nearing a solution. Now, let's go to the next question.
Avoid guessing if you are not sure about the answer to a question with negative marks assigned to it.
Attempt all questions which do not carry negative marks.
Remember it is the relative performance that counts, so believe in yourself and give your best shot and you will ace JEE Advanced 2026.
