Frequently Asked Questions:-

1. What is the weightage of Mole Concept in JEE Advanced?

Mole Concept has a weightage of approximately 2-3% in the JEE Advanced 2025 exam as per the new syllabus and previous trends. Hence, 1 or 2 questions can be come in Paper 1 or Paper 2. Concepts like Molarity, Molality, Stoichiometry, and Limiting Reagent are typically questioned, hence it's a small but scoring segment. Practice these concepts well to get those marks without any effort.

2. Which IIT sets the toughest paper for JEE Advanced?

It is difficult to say which IIT will give the toughest paper since the task alternates every year. According to trends, IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi usually set difficult papers, particularly in Mathematics and Physical Chemistry. For example, the IIT Guwahati 2023 paper was found to be difficult because of complex questions on Organic Chemistry and Coordinate Geometry. So it's better to do preparation by solving previous year papers (PYQs) and taking mock tests on a regular basis. This would facilitate adaptation to any level of toughness irrespective of which IIT is conducting the paper.

3. Can I qualify for JEE Advanced with 93 percentile?

A 93 percentile is an okay score for JEE Mains, but JEE Advanced qualification is based on the cut-off, and that varies year to year. To explain, as of 2024, the cut-off for the General category was around 89-91 percentile, so 93 percentile would be qualifying but for safety, especially for the General category, it's better to aim for as high a percentile as 95 and above. Visit the NTA official website for the exact cut-off again and again and focus on revision and mock tests for improving the score if necessary.

4. Is the Mole Concept hard?

The Mole Concept isn't that tough unless the concepts are not very clear. It's generally a middle-level topic in JEE Advanced. Questions are generally from topics like Mole Fraction, Molarity, Molality, and Limiting Reader, which are hard initially but simple after practice. Start with NCERT to form a solid base, and then solve previous year questions (PYQs) and mock tests to gain confidence. For better understanding, online lectures on platforms like YouTube can be helpful. As it's a scoring subject, ensure to practice it properly.
