  3. Questions With Single Digit Integer Answers: These questions do not provide any options. The answer is a single-digit integer number i.e. positive or negative whole number of single-digit, which candidates have to enter with the virtual keyboard.
  4. Questions With Decimal Answers Upto Two Decimal Places: As the name suggests, the answer to this type of questions will have a decimal part.

Matrix Match Questions

These type of questions come in the form of a matrix as shown below:

JEE Advanced Exam Pattern

As you can see, there are two columns in this type of questions. Contents of Column I are to be matched with that of Column II. These questions are quite difficult as making some error in one of them can mean losing out marks for all the others.

Linked Comprehension Type Questions

In this type, three or more questions can be based on a single problem. This means if you get the basic calculations wrong, you are likely to get all the questions wrong for a particular problem.
