NTA conducts JEE Main, the initial phase examination, for admission into NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded technical institutions. Also, it is a qualifying exam for appearing in the JEE Advanced. On the other hand, JEE Advanced is the entry exam for IIT and is more difficult than JEE Main.
Candidates have six attempts to apply to the exam under JEE Main over three consecutive years (twice a year). On the other hand, JEE Advanced allows two attempts per candidate across consecutive years.
The candidate must have passed Class 12 with physics, chemistry, and mathematics. - The candidate should be able to register on merit among the top 2.5 lac students filtered after JEE Main, based on specific age and educational qualifications.
- Doing a study schedule in such a way that includes regular study of the syllabus of the school and is befitting JEE preparation, because even school studies are important. - Read through NCERT books thoroughly to understand concepts, particularly in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. - Solve the previous year's question bank, conduct regular mock tests, and then collaborate with others on some rough drafts. - In case you need help, you can visit coaching centers or online platforms.
Time management has a pivotal role in the competitive exam, as the JEE exam is time-bound with difficult questions. A good practice is to solve problems within a predetermined time bracket, in which a student must prepare themselves with time constraints. During the examination, allocate some time to every section, and do not spend much more time on one question.
No, it is not necessary to join coaching for JEE. Many students successfully clear the JEE exams through self-study or a combination of online resources and dedication. However, coaching does offer a structured approach, study materials, and frequent assessments, which can be beneficial for certain students.
- For advanced problems, use "Concepts of Physics" by H.C. Verma and I.E. Irodov in Physics. - Chemistry: O.P. Tandon (Physical & Organic), N. Awasthi (Physical Chemistry Problems). - Mathematics: R.D. Sharma, Problems in Calculus of One Variable-In-A Variable by I.A. Maron and publications by Arihant.
