There are two question papers
(Paper 1 and Paper 2) for JEE (Advanced), with three hours of
duration for each paper. The question papers for both the papers are in
Hindi as well as in English language. (The choice of language must be
mentioned during the time of registration). There are three sections of
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in both the question papers.
The
candidate's analytical ability, reasoning and comprehension are checked
through objective type questions. Incorrect answers result in negative
marking in some sections. The candidates are required to mark the on a
separate carbon paper of two sheets. It is to be noted that, the
candidates must not separate the alignment of both the sheets (upper and
lower) during the examination. They must use a black ball pen to mark
the answers on the upper sheet (ORS or Optical Response Sheet) and
should mark in such a manner that its impression is seen on the lower
sheet. Hence, after the exam the candidates can take away the lower
sheet with them.
