  • Physics section was moderately tough.
  • The overall difficulty of the paper was as expected.

Section-wise analysis of JEE Advanced 2019

Subject Paper 1 Analysis Paper 2 Analysis
Mathematics Difficult; Number of questions was from Algebra and Coordinate Geometry. Moderately Difficult
Physis Moderately Tough; Questions were asked from chapters of class 11 & 12 Difficult
Chemistry Moderate; Few questions were asked from organic chemistry. Moderate

The major change found in the paper pattern this year was the absence of paragraph-based questions. The overall difficulty level of Paper 1 was more as compared to Paper 2. According to the expert's analysis, the overall difficulty of both the papers was moderate. Both the papers required good time management skills. It is expected that JEE Advanced Cutoff for the general category may vary from 127-142 from a total of 372 marks for admission in IITs.

As per students’ reactions, Paper 2 was found to be tough as compared to Paper 1. Mathematics in Paper 2 was the most challenging section to solve, while in Paper 1, Physics was the difficult one. At some centers in Bangalore, Paper 2 was postponed till 4 pm. Unlike last year, students will neither get the copy of question paper nor the copy of the response sheet. JEE Advanced Exam Pattern is not fixed, this year too, some changes were observed in the paper pattern. This exam is considered as one of, if not the toughest to crack in India. Subject weightage, marking schemes, question formats and even total marks are unknown variables in this exam.

Ques. Can I get an IIT with 4000 JEE Advanced Rank?

I recently completed my Graduation from IIT BHU. Securing a rank of 4000 in JEE Advanced is a commendable achievement, and it opens up several opportunities for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology. However, whether you can get admission into a specific IIT with this rank depends on various factors including: Some branches are more competitive than others, so the cutoff ranks may vary accordingly. Each IIT has a different number of seats available for each branch, and the cutoff ranks can fluctuate based on this. Reservation quotas may affect the cutoff ranks for different categories (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, etc.). The difficulty level of the exam can influence the cutoff ranks. Here are the cutoff trends for B.Tech Admissions at various IITs (for CSE and Civil Engineering branches, Open Category seats)- B.Tech cutoff trend at the IITs through JEE Advanced (Open Category) College Name B.Tech CSE B.Tech Civil Engineering IIT Madras 148 6132 IIT Delhi 118 4472 IIT Bombay 67 4371 IIT Kanpur 238 6116 IIT Roorkee 412 7100 IIT Kharagpur 279 7177 IIT Guwahati 654 8453 IIT Hyderabad 674 9303 IIT Indore 1385 10994 IIT BHU 1079 10232 I hope this gives you a basic idea of the JEE Advanced cutoff at various IITs across India.

Ques. Is 12,000 JEE Advanced Rank decent enough for admission into an IIT?

Yes, there are a total of 17,385 seats in the IITs, you can get admission into IITs with a rank of 12k in JEE Advanced. However, you will probably not get admission in top 7 IITs and in the branches which are the favourites of the most people. But indeed you can get admission into IITs with 12,000 rank in JEE Advanced.
