Types of Objective Questions in JEE Advanced 2025
JEE Advanced isn’t just about marking one correct answer. The format is varied, tricky, and mentally demanding. Here’s what candidates should expect:
1. Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)
- Options provided, sometimes more than one correct
- All correct answers must be marked for full score
2. Numerical Answer Type (NAT)
- No options given
- Candidates must calculate and enter exact values
3. Matching-Type Questions
- Match elements from two columns
- Often used in Chemistry and Mathematics
Why No Subjective Questions?
Though JEE Advanced was once known for descriptive problems, the switch to objective-only questions was made for several reasons:
- Automated & unbiased evaluation
- Faster result declaration
- Coverage of wide syllabus in limited time
- More focus on accuracy and speed
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Joint Admission Board (JAB) adopted this change years ago to ensure fairness and transparency in India’s premier engineering admission test.
What This Means for Aspirants
- No need to practice long derivations or write step-by-step solutions.
- Focus must be on:
- Conceptual clarity
- Speed calculations
- Tricky applications of formulas
- Use mock tests, previous year papers, and timed problem-solving to prepare.
Expert Tip
“Don’t waste time practicing subjective problems. Master numerical solving and get comfortable with tricky MCQs — that’s where the real game is.”

Important Note for 2025 Aspirants
While the pattern is objective, don’t mistake it for being easier. Many questions in JEE Advanced are multi-step, trap-based, or require multi-concept application — making them even tougher than descriptive questions.
Final Verdict
JEE Advanced 2025 is entirely objective. No essays, no derivations — just sharp problem-solving using MCQs, NATs, and matching-type questions. If you’re aiming for IIT, sharpen your concepts and focus on accuracy under pressure.
