The Ultimate Guide to JEE Exam Preparation

Scope of the Exam

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is an all-India engineering entrance examination conducted for admission to various engineering colleges across the country. The exam is conducted in two phases – JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Candidates who qualify JEE Main are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced. The final selection of candidates will be based on their performance in both the exams.

JEE Main is a computer-based test (CBT) consisting of two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 is for candidates seeking admission to B.E./B.Tech courses, while Paper 2 is for candidates seeking admission to B.Arch/B.Planning courses. Candidates can attempt either or both the papers, as per their eligibility and choice of course.

JEE Advanced is a CBT consisting of two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2. Both the papers are compulsory for all candidates appearing for the exam. The total marks allotted for each paper are 360, making the total marks for both papers 720.
The scope of JEE covers all aspects of engineering including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology (for BITSAT only). It tests a candidate’s analytical and problem-solving skills which are essential for any engineer.
 

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible to appear in JEE (Main), a candidate must have: - Passed 10+2 examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with one of Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/Technical Vocational subject OR - Passed 10+3 Diploma Examination with Mathematics as compulsory subject along with one of Physics/Chemistry/Technical Vocational subject OR - Passed International Baccalaureate Diploma Examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with one of Chemistry/Computer Science/Biology OR - Achieved at least 50% marks in aggregate in Class 12th or equivalent qualifying examination AND Must have been born on or after October 1, 1993 if belonging to General category To be eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced), a candidate must have: - Qualified JEE (Main) OR - Secured at least 75% marks (65% marks for SC/ST/PwD) in Class 12th or equivalent qualifying examination Must have been born on or after October 1, 1992 if belonging to General category

Preparation Strategy for JEE Exam

Self-Study

One of the most important aspects of preparing for the JEE exam is self-study. While coaching classes and other external sources can certainly be helpful, it is ultimately up to the individual student to put in the hard work and prepare for the exam.
There are a number of resources that can be used for self-study, such as textbooks, online resources, and previous years' papers. It is important to make use of as many resources as possible in order to get a well-rounded understanding of the material.
When studying for the JEE exam, it is also important to focus on problem-solving skills. A large portion of the exam will be devoted to multiple choice questions, but there will also be a section on solving problems. Therefore, it is essential that students practice solving problems in addition to simply memorizing information.
 

Coaching Classes

Another preparation strategy for the JEE exam is coaching classes. These classes are typically led by experienced teachers who have extensive knowledge of the material covered on the exam.
Coaching classes can be extremely helpful in providing students with a structured study plan and helping them stay on track with their preparation. Additionally, these classes can provide an opportunity for students to ask questions and receive guidance from an expert.
However, coaching classes can also be expensive and may not be accessible to all students. Additionally, some students may prefer to prepare for the exam on their own without attending coaching classes. Therefore, this option should only be considered if it is feasible for the individual student.
 

Previous Years' Papers

Another useful preparation strategy for the JEE exam is to solve previous years' papers. This can help students get an idea of the types of questions that are likely to be asked on the exam and also familiarize them with the format of the test.
Additionally, solving previous years' papers can help students improve their problem-solving skills and speed. It is important to note, however, that the syllabus for the JEE exam changes frequently, so it is important to use only the most recent papers when preparing for the test.
