JEE Advanced Paper 2 Analysis

As per Ramesh Batlish, managing partner of FIITJEE Noida, the analysis of JEE Advanced 2023 Paper 2 is as follows:

Physics

• Physics questions were moderate.

• More questions were from wave and sound, wave optics, fluids, em waves, thermodynamics, modern physics, current electricity, kinematics, gravitation, electrostatics.

• Physics questions were not balanced. Some questions required lengthy calculations.

• Overall feedback: Moderate

Chemistry

• Chemistry was tricky.

• The chemistry paper had more questions from organic and physical chemistry as compared to inorganic chemistry.

• The organic chemistry questions were based on aryl and alkyl halides, amines, polymers, biomolecules, oxygen-containing compounds.

• Questions from inorganic unit were directly from NCERT.

• The questions from physical chemistry were from topics – chemical kinetics, ionic and chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, thermodynamics.

• Mixed questions were also asked.

• Overall feedback: Moderate

Mathematics

• Maths questions were unbalanced and tricky.

• Questions covered topics – functions, differential equations, inverse trigonometric functions, differentiability, vectors, 3d geometry, application of derivatives, complex numbers, matrices, circle permutation and combination and probability.

• Overall feedback - Difficult
