JEE Question Papers with Analysis — Main & Advanced (2023–2025)
Official JEE Main and JEE Advanced past question papers from NTA and IIT, with topic-wise distribution, difficulty analysis, marking schemes, and category-wise cutoff data. Free, no signup, direct links to government sources.
Why use past papers for JEE preparation?
Solving previous-year JEE Main and JEE Advanced papers is the single most efficient revision activity in the last 3 months before the exam. Past papers reveal three things no study material can: the actual weightage of each chapter, the tricks examiners reuse from year to year, and the time pressure you’ll face on D-Day. Our analysis pages break each paper down by topic, mark each question’s difficulty (Easy / Medium / Hard), and tell you which chapters showed up in the high-mark Numerical sections.
JEE Advanced Past Papers
JEE Advanced is conducted by the IITs (rotating host institute each year — IIT Kanpur conducted 2025). It has two compulsory papers (Paper 1 + Paper 2) on the same day, each three hours long. Question patterns include single-correct MCQs, multi-correct MCQs, numerical answer type, and paragraph-based comprehensions. Marking is variable per section.
| Year | Conducting IIT | Total Marks | Analysis Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | IIT Kanpur | 360 | JEE Advanced 2025 → |
| 2024 | IIT Madras | 360 | JEE Advanced 2024 → |
| 2023 | IIT Guwahati | 360 | JEE Advanced 2023 → |
JEE Main Past Papers
JEE Main is conducted by NTA in two sessions per year (January and April), each with multiple shifts across multiple days. Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) is 75 questions across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics — 300 marks, 3 hours. The best-of-two-sessions score (NTA percentile) determines your rank.
| Year | Sessions | Shifts | Analysis Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2 (Jan + April) | ~22 shifts | JEE Main 2025 → |
| 2024 | 2 (Jan + April) | ~24 shifts | JEE Main 2024 → |
| 2023 | 2 (Jan + April) | ~24 shifts | JEE Main 2023 → |
How to use past papers in the final 90 days
- Day 90–60: Topic-wise. Pick one chapter (say Rotational Motion). Solve every JEE Main and Advanced question on that chapter from the last 3 years. You’ll spot patterns coaching books don’t show.
- Day 60–30: Subject-wise. Take a full Physics paper from JEE Main 2024 Session 2. Time yourself for 1 hour exactly. Analyse mistakes the same evening.
- Day 30–15: Full-length. One full 3-hour paper (Main or Advanced) every alternate day. Same conditions as exam day — same start time, no breaks, no looking up.
- Day 15–0: Selective review. Only re-do questions you got wrong. Don’t take new full papers in the last 7 days — it shakes confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the official JEE question papers?
Yes. JEE Advanced PDFs are linked directly from jeeadv.ac.in, the official website maintained by the rotating host IIT. JEE Main resources are linked from jeemain.nta.ac.in, NTA’s official portal. We do not host third-party copies; all PDFs you download come from government servers.
Are JEE Main shift papers really different?
Yes. NTA conducts each session across 4–6 days, two shifts per day (morning and afternoon). Every shift has a unique 75-question paper. NTA normalises percentiles across shifts so candidates aren’t penalised for getting a tougher paper, but for practice, treating each shift as a unique mock test is the most efficient approach.
How many years of past papers should I solve before JEE 2026?
Solve at least the last 5 years thoroughly — that’s roughly 50+ full-length papers if you include all JEE Main shifts. Going further back than 2018 is low-yield because the syllabus and pattern have changed (numerical questions were added in 2020; weightage of chapters has shifted).
Is the JEE Advanced 2025 paper harder than 2024?
By most coaching-institute analyses, JEE Advanced 2025 (IIT Kanpur) was considered moderately difficult — Paper 1 Physics was tougher than 2024, Chemistry was easier, Mathematics was on par. Detailed difficulty matrices are on each year’s analysis page.
Where can I check my answer key after solving?
JEE Main provisional answer keys are released by NTA 2–3 days after each shift on jeemain.nta.ac.in. JEE Advanced answer keys are released within 7 days at jeeadv.ac.in. Both are linked from each year’s analysis page on our site.
Can I crack JEE just by solving past papers?
No. Past papers are a revision and timing tool, not a learning tool. You still need conceptual study through standard books (HC Verma, Cengage, MS Chouhan for organic, etc.) and a structured study plan. Treat past papers as the final 90-day layer on top of strong fundamentals.
