JEE Advanced Physics Books -The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur will release the JEE Advanced 2025 application form on April 23. Meanwhile, IIT has published 90 FAQs related to the exam on its official website. The registration process will be open until May 2, and candidates can pay the application fee by May 5.

JEE Advanced is a highly competitive exam that tests candidates in three core subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Physics, in particular, is known for its conceptual depth and problem-solving challenges. Topics like mechanics, electromagnetism, and modern physics require strong analytical skills and a thorough understanding of principles. To score well, students must focus on clarity of concepts, regular practice, and solving previous years' papers. Check out the below article for JEE 2025 advanced books and important topics.
