    Yes, JEE Advanced is considered one of the toughest exams in the world. This is because the exam challenges the students with multi-conceptual questions. There are two papers, and each paper is of three hours duration, which makes the exam challenging.

    Moreover, the exam pattern keeps changing each year, which throws a surprise element. Additionally, the candidates have to face negative marking for even partially wrong answers. 

    All these factors make JEE Advanced one of the toughest exams in the world.

    Also, the competition is fierce; around 1.8 Lacs candidates take the exam every year to compete for around 18000 IIT seats.
