How do the exam patterns and formats of JEE Main and JEE Advanced compare?

<p>JEE Main and JEE Advanced are both national-level entrance exams conducted for admission to undergraduate engineering programs in India.

Hi there! I'm sure you must be aware that these are two of the most sought-after engineering entrance exams in India, and cracking them is no cakewalk. The National Testing Agency NTA conducts both these exams, but they differ in terms of their exam pattern and format. JEE Main is conducted twice a year, and it is a computer-based exam that includes MCQs and numerical value-based questions. The exam is divided into three sections Physics Chemistry and Mathematics - and each section consists of 30 MCQs and 5 numerical value-based questions. On the other hand, JEE Advanced is conducted once a year and consists of two papers. The exam includes MCQs, numerical answer type questions, and reasoning questions. While Paper 1 covers Physics Chemistry and Mathematics, Paper 2 includes questions from Mathematics, Aptitude, and Drawing.
