This year, in order to improve the gender balance in the undergraduate programs at the IITs from the current (approximately) 8 per cent to 14 per cent in 2018-19, a decision was taken to create supernumerary seats specifically for female candidates, without any reduction in the number of seats offered to male candidates. These seats will be offered (a) to only those female candidates who qualify JEE (Advanced) – 2018.
Around 2.2 lakh students had appeared he JEE Advanced examination today, May 20, this year to secure admission in the top IITs. The JEE Advanced examination was conducted by IIT Kanpur this year. Those who qualify the exam will be eligible to get enrolled into the bachelor’s, integrated master’s and dual degree programmes (entry at the 10+2 level) in all the IITs.
The exam authority has also posted a note clarifying answers of Numerical-Answer-Type questions — "For Numerical-Answer-Type questions, the numerical value entered by the candidate will be evaluated. Wherever applicable, depending on the question, answers will be evaluated by checking whether the answer entered by the candidate falls within a range of two values, with or without including the upper and lower values of the range depending on the question."

Prof UdayNath Mishra, Chief Academic Officer, BasicFirst said, "In Paper 1, Physics was tough and Maths and Chemistry were easy. Overall paper 1 was of moderate difficulty level with more weightage from Class 12th syllabus. In Paper 2, Mathematics was found tough, while physics and chemistry were easy. The total marks of each Paper were reduced from 183 to 180. Integral questions were more compared to last year and questions interlinking two or more topics were also more than last year. Common Rank list - 125+-5%"

"Both the papers were moderate. However, paper 2 had lots of analytical questions, so it was a bit difficult to answer, especially the Mathematics section as it was lengthy. All the sections in paper 1 were moderate, meanwhile, the decimal section was a bit difficult to answer," said AIR 9 Simarpreet Singh Saluja

This year, the controversy hit the JEE Main 2018 (offline exam), with many examinees complained about a few questions of physics section being identical to the questions of the mock test of a coaching institute. As many as eight questions of physics section in JEE Main were identical to the 2016 mock test of Narayana Coaching Academy.
