JEE (Advanced) 2018

A Detailed Analysis by Resonance

After introducing major changes in IIT Admission Process in 2013, on 20-May-2018 (Sunday) JEE Advanced 2018, stage-2 for IIT Admission Process was conducted by IIT Kanpur. Top 2.24 Lakh students were eligible through marks in JEE Main 2018, out of which 1.6 Lakh students have filled the JEE Advanced Exam form.

As earlier IIT-JEE Examinations, JEE (Advanced) 2018 was conducted in two parts (Paper 1 & Paper 2) by IIT Kanpur. Paper 1 was conducted from 9 AM to 12 PM and Paper 2 was conducted from 2 PM to 5 PM.

Only candidates who appear in both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for ranking. Results will be declared on Sunday, June 10, 2018 10:00 IST. Category-wise All India Ranks (AIR) of successful candidates will be available on the online portal after the results are declared. The text messages will be sent to the candidates to their registered mobile numbers.

The seats across IITs, NITs, IIITs and other Govt. Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) will be allocated by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). All the candidates who are eligible for admission will have to participate in the joint seat allocation process by filling in their choices of the courses. The detailed instructions for filling-in the choices and the seat allotment procedure will be made available by JoSAA through Seat Allotment Brochure.

Physics 13 44 13 43 10 33
Grand Total 31 100 37 123 40 137


Physics and Mathematics were easy compared to Chemistry. Mathematics and Physics paper was moderately easy, Chemistry was considered difficult.

Overall, Resonance experts feel that the paper was relatively tough than the last year. While Chemistry was overall most difficult, Mathematics was considered moderate overall while Physics was relatively easier than the other two subjects.

In total, easy questions comprised of 100 marks, moderate questions comprised of 123 marks and difficult questions comprised of 137 marks.

As the paper was relatively tough than last year, students are expected to score comparatively less this year.
