The JEE Advanced 2025 Exam Paper 1 ended today, May 18, 2025, from 9 AM to 12 PM, and Indian students are super excited! IIT Kanpur organized this big exam for students who want to join India’s top engineering colleges, the IITs. Paper 1 is done, and Paper 2 is coming up from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. We’ve gathered the latest info from students and coaching experts to give you a simple review of Paper 1, how tough it was, and what’s next. This guide is written in an easy, friendly tone for Indian students at an 8th-9th grade reading level, with key details in tables.
JEE Advanced 2025 Exam Paper 1: Quick Look
JEE Advanced 2025 is a computer-based test with two papers, and you need both to get into IITs. Paper 1 had three parts: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Students said it was moderate to easy, with no big surprises. It followed last year’s style, so those who studied well found it okay.
Here’s the exam setup:
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Total Questions | 48 questions (16 each in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) |
| Total Marks | 180 marks (60 marks per subject) |
| Question Types | Multiple-choice (single and multiple correct), numerical, matching-type |
| Negative Marking | Yes, lose 1 mark for some wrong answers; check paper for details |
The exam covered Class 11 and 12 topics from NCERT books. Students got scribble pads for rough work, which they gave back after the exam.
How Hard Was Paper 1? Subject Breakdown
Students and coaching experts shared that Paper 1 was balanced. Here’s how each subject felt:
| Subject | Difficulty | Main Topics Asked |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | Moderate | Functions, Statistics, Probability, 3D Geometry, Matrices, Integrals |
| Physics | Moderate | Mechanics, Electrostatics, Optics, Modern Physics, Units & Dimensions |
| Chemistry | Easy | Chemical Bonding, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Coordination |
- Mathematics: Questions like 3D Geometry and Probability were a bit tricky but not too bad. The paper wasn’t too long, so students had enough time.
- Physics: It mixed Class 11 and 12 topics. Mechanics and Optics were big, while Modern Physics had fewer questions. Most students found it fair.
- Chemistry: The easiest part! Many questions came straight from NCERT, especially in Organic and Physical Chemistry. Students called it quick to solve.
Students felt good about Paper 1, saying it was “doable” with no shocks. Coaching experts will soon share detailed reviews and sample questions online.
What’s Next? JEE Advanced Paper 2 and More
Paper 2 starts at 2:30 PM today, and some students worry it might be harder, like last year when Paper 2 was trickier. To get ready, students should:
- Take a short break to relax and eat something light.
- Go over key formulas for Physics and Chemistry.
- Stay calm and read Paper 2 questions carefully.
After the exam, coaching centers will post sample questions and early answer keys online. The official answer key and response sheets will come later on the JEE Advanced website. Results should be out in early June, with IIT counseling starting around June 3, 2025.
