 JEE Advanced-2020: Quick Analysis by Ramesh Batlish FIITJEE Expert

 Analysis of JEE Advanced Paper-1:

 Total Marks of Paper 1: 198 & Duration: 3 hrs

The paper had (54) questions in total.

The Paper-1 had (03) three parts- Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics.

Max. Marks for each Part: 66.

In each part there are three sections- Sec-1(Max. marks-18), Sec-2 (Max. Marks-24) & Sec-3 (Max. marks-24)

Sec-1 had (06) four questions with four options in each in which ONLY ONE of the four options was correct.

Marking scheme in this section:

Full marks: +3 in case all options are correct,

Zero Marks:: 0 if none of the options are chosen

Negative Marks: -1 In all other cases

Sec-2 had (06) six questions with four options in which ONE OR MORE THAN ONE option(s) were correct.

Marking scheme in this section:

Full marks: +4  If only(all)  the correct options are chosen

Partial Marks: +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three correct options are chosen

Partial Marks: +2 If three or more options are correct but only two correct options are chosen

Partial Marks: +1 If two or more options are correct but only one correct option is chosen

Zero Marks:: 0  If none of the options are chosen

Negative Marks: -1 In all other cases

Sec-3 had (06) Six questions . The answer to each question was a NUMERICAL VALUE. If the numerical value had more than two decimal places, truncated/rounded-off value to two decimal places was asked.

Marking scheme in this section:

Full marks: +4 If only the correct numerical value was entered

Zero Marks:: 0 In all other cases.

 Immediate reaction of students & Comparison with respect to last year:

Students found the overall level of paper moderate to difficult level but not easy.

Some students have reported Chemistry was easy to moderate, physics was moderate but maths relatively difficult.

In physics almost questions from the chapter of Class XII and XII were asked. Some students reported physics was lengthy. Chapters like Rotation, Work Power Energy, magnetism & Thermodynamics had more questions.

In mathematics, there were 5 -6 questions from Calculus. There were questions from Continuity & Differentiability, Application of Derivative, Definite Integrals. One question each from Probability, Complex Numbers, Determinants and two questions from 3 D Geometry.

 In chemistry, fewer questions on Organic Chemistry were there as compared to Inorganic & Physical Chemistry.

No mistakes reported till now as the complete paper is yet to be analysed.

Total no. of questions (54 questions) remains same as last year however total marks of Paper-1 has changed from 186 in 2019 to 198 marks this year.

Precautions were taken in view of COVID-19 and students were screened before they entered the centre
