JEE Advanced 2022 Paper 1 Detailed Analysis

28th August, 2022 (Sunday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)

JEE (Advanced) 2022 was conducted in two parts (Paper 1 & Paper 2) by IIT Bombay. The
exam is conducted in a computer-based (online) mode. Paper 1 was conducted from 9 AM
to 12 PM and Paper 2 was conducted from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Only candidates who appear in
both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for ranking. Results will be declared on Sunday,
September 11, 2022 at (jeeadv.ac.in). Category‐wise All India Ranks (AIR) of successful
candidates will be available on the online portal after the results are declared.

OVERALL MARKS DISTRIBUTION

The paper pattern was different in comparison to last Year. Paper 1 had a total of 54 questions,
distributed evenly across three subjects i.e, Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics.

Each of the subjects were divided into 3 sections, which consisted of different types of questions.
Below is the table for the question paper pattern which was similar to all the subjects :

Experts feel that Mathematics Paper 1 had the maximum moderately difficult questions as
compared to Physics and Chemistry. Out of 180 marks, 31 marks constituted of easy level
questions, 111 marks constituted of moderate level questions and 38 marks constituted of
difficult level questions.

Physics
Physics was of easy to moderate level. Physics had 5 easy, 11 medium and 2 difficult questions.

Note : Q8 in Chemistry was a mixture of syllabus from both Class XIth & XIIth.
OVERALL DIFFICULTY LEVEL ANALYSIS
In this analysis, we have rated every question on a scale of 1 to 3. The individual ratings are then
averaged to calculate the overall difficulty level.
● 1: Easy ● 2: Moderate ● 3: Difficult

Subject Difficulty Level

Physics 1.83
Chemistry 2.22
Mathematics 2.11
Overall 2.06

The overall difficulty of JEE Advanced (Paper 1) 2022 was of moderate difficulty and was
comparatively a bit easier than Paper 2.
The difficulty level of the exam was a bit easier compared to previous years as per our expert
faculties.

● Physics was at the same level as the previous year

● Chemistry was more difficult than the previous year.

● Mathematics was a bit easier than the previous year.
