TREND ANALYSIS OF

JEE Advanced 2014-2017

PHYSICS
The complexity of the 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. Such analysis
forms the basic of our understanding of the JEE.
