TREND ANALYSIS FOR

JEE ADVANCED
YEAR 2012-2016
The complexity of the IIT JEE arises from the fact that the questions are always unique in their context, and solving them often requires
a combination of concepts from across the different chapters. Nevertheless, some basic data analysis can be quite revealing and could
give some important insights into how one should go about preparing for each subject and chapter. Such analysis forms the baisc of
our understanding of the JEE.
