JEE Advanced Physics Paper Analysis 2025

The JEE Advanced 2025 Physics papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2) were conceptually demanding and mathematically intensive, with strong emphasis on mechanics, waves, electromagnetism, modern physics and error/units, and a good mix of single-correct, multi-correct, numerical and matching-type questions.

Overall pattern (Physics)

Both papers: 16 Physics questions each, divided as 4 single-correct MCQ, 3 multiple-correct, 6 numerical value, 3 matching-type sets.
Question types used:MCQ (single correct), MR (multiple response), Numerical Value, MCMT (matching list / matrix type).
Style: Strong focus on small-concept twists, mixed topics in one problem (e.g. SHM+rotation, wave+boundary, EM+motion), and data-based reasoning (measurement, error, units). Questions are more concept-heavy than computation-heavy in many places, but accurate algebra and calculus are essential.

PAPER – 1 (Physics)

Structure & Types

Total Number of Questions (Physics): 16 (Q1–Q4 MCQ, Q5–Q7 MR, Q8–Q13 Numerical, Q14–Q16 MCMT).
Question Types:

MCQ (single correct): 4
MR (multiple correct): 3
Numerical Value: 6
MCMT (Matching List type): 3

Overall Level:Moderate to Difficult, with most questions requiring 2–3 concepts in combination.

Approximate difficulty split (Physics section)

Numbers of Easy Questions: ~4 (e.g. basic Vernier reading, straightforward significant-figures volume, simple wave or SHM interpretation once set up).
Numbers of Moderate Questions: ~9–10 (rolling disk SHM, scattering kinematics, induced emf waveform, moving loop in B-field, wave at string junction, elevator weight variation, radiation balance, diffraction error, de Broglie/Bohr based).
Numbers of Difficult Questions: ~3–4 (combined EM + dynamics for moving loop, detailed wave reflection/transmission, multistep radiation/thermo or nuclear scaling, some matching-list conceptual sets).

Most covered and important topics (Physics, Paper 1)

Mechanics(rigid body, SHM, scattering, work-energy, waves on string, elevator motion).
Electromagnetism & EM Induction(loops in non-uniform B, induced emf vs time, moving loop braking, electric dipoles, AC circuits, radiation).
Optics & Modern Physics(diffraction single slit, photon energy density, Bohr/de Broglie, nuclear/atomic scaling).
Units, Errors & Measurements(Vernier calipers, significant figures, propagation of error in diffraction).

PAPER – 2 (Physics)

Structure & Types

Total Number of Questions (Physics): 16 (Q1–Q4 MCQ, Q5–Q8 MR, Q9–Q16 Numerical).
Question Types:

MCQ (single correct): 4
MR (multiple correct): 4
Numerical Value: 8
(No separate matching-list in Physics section of Paper 2; matching appears mainly in Maths/Chem here.)

Overall Level:Easy to Moderate, but with several numericals requiring strong formula memory and algebra.

Approximate difficulty split (Physics section)

Numbers of Easy Questions: ~3–4 (dimensional analysis, simple Carnot efficiency relation, basic image formation distance conditions, straightforward ratio questions).
Numbers of Moderate Questions: ~9–10 (electrostatics with grounding, concave mirror + slab, electric field of multiple sheets, gas cycles, satellites in relative frame, thermodynamic springs, simple drag, Doppler).
Numbers of Difficult Questions: ~3–4 (star mass-transfer orbital relation, advanced multi-step photon/positronium, projectile with quadratic drag numerically, Young’s wedges with refractive index difference).

Most covered and important topics (Physics, Paper 2)

Electrostatics(conducting sphere + external charge + grounding, infinite charged sheets).
Thermodynamics & Heat Engines(Carnot engine + heat pump cycle, ideal gas PV graph, spring–gas equilibrium).
Geometrical Optics & Wave Optics(concave mirrors + slab, Young’s double slit with glass wedges).
Modern Physics & EM(rotating charged sphere, hydrogen + positronium energy bookkeeping, satellite dynamics, Doppler in SHM).
Mechanics(rotational oscillations with springs, gravitational two-body mass transfer, projectile in viscous medium).
