JEE Guide: To Help You Build a Strong Future!

For selection into an undergraduate engineering program/institute, the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is conducted and is considered as one of the toughest entrance exams in the stream of engineering.

In the year 2012, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) replaced the AIEEE and IIT-JEE with the JEE which is now divided in two parts- the JEE Mains and JEE Advanced.

JEE Main is for admission into the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IITs), National Institute of Technology (NITs), Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) and other government-funded technical institutes.

Students who are selected in the JEE Mains are eligible for appearing for JEE Advanced whose score is acceptible in the IIT's and the Indian School of Mines in Dhanbad.

• JEE Mains

• JEE Advanced

A subject wise break up of the syllabus is as follows:

• Mathematics

• Physics

• Chemistry

Concentration and Attentive Approach

Focus and undivided attention is very important while preparing for the examination. Know the formulas and how they are derived. Have a deeper understanding and clarity of the same. Practice more and more formulae.

Set Targets & Achieve Them

Set targets which are attainable and do not go over your capacity as you would keep floundering in order to meet them. It is better to go with the Exercise Approach where you can dedicate a part of the day to different topics. Set reasonable goals that are not too hard to meet.

Previous/Mock Test Papers

When you appear for an entrance exam, it is important to look into the previous year papers and the type of questions asked. It will provide you with an idea of how to dedicate time to each section of the paper. Solve as many as previous year papers as possible.

Thorough Revision

Revision is as important as practising the questions. Before you start your day with new topics, revise the ones you did the previous day. Set a time and do a quick revision.

Optimistic Approach

The idea is to keep your focus and not lose track along the way. Stay true to yourself. Do not try to overachieve in terms of targets as this will get you nowhere. It is equally important for you to pay attention to your diet and health.

Study Material

Your study material should be able to cover all relavent topics being asked in the exam and make sure you are thorough with the syllabus to not miss anything. Also study the previous year pattern to judge what topics are never questioned in the JEE Advanced. For example, in Mathematics, you need not cover the topics of Mathematical Induction, Statistics and Linear Inequality. Similarly in Physics, you do not need to cover topics like Electromagnetic Waves, Electronic Devices and Principles of Communication systems.

One section that surely scares most students is the Mathematics segment. Try out these tips to better prepare for it:

(i) Proper Seating: While it might sound silly, it is important to sit at a desk with a paper and pen to practice the Mathematics segment. It is important to focus on the problem solving aspect and understanding fomulae rather than just blindly trying to mug them up. Writing them down surely helps.

(ii) Time Management: It is key you use your time solving problems rather than simply flipping from book to book just reading the topics. The more you practice the better. When you learn of a new short cut or hack to solve a problem like quickly arriving at squares etc. practice questions using these shortcuts to get a good idea.

(iii) Coordinate Geometry: When it comes to coordinate geometry, it is always a good approach to focus on the conic sections. Additionally, it'll help if the more complicated sections are broken down and are solved using more basic principles than trying to use shortcuts in this segment.

(iv) Sort your Paper: Before you go ahead and solve the math paper in full gusto, divide the paper into three segments-Easy, Medium and Difficult.Work out the easier segment first which you are sure will secure you marks and then move on to the medium and finally to the difficult segment. This helps you better cover the paper and increases your chances of reducing negative marking by avoiding questions that seem dicey.

(v)3 Papers a Day: The only way of beating your fear for the Math section is by solving at least 3 papers every day to give yourself thorough preparation on every topic. This not only improves efficiency, but also helps improve time management and better streamlining of your overall approach.

Chemistry is one of the most misleading subjects in the IIT as it might appear easy but can allow you to lose out on valuable marks if not attempted with care. Check out these easy tips to crack the Chemistry section:

(i) Understanding the Break Up:The chemistry segment is divided into physical, organic and inorganic chemistry with emphasis being laid more on the first two sections as inorganic chemistry is not very concept based. Focus on physical and organic chemistry for numericals and build your score.

(ii) Organic Chemistry: A large part of the paper is usually based on reagents.Focus on reducing agents, oxidizing agents, nucleophiles and electrophiles and identify reagents and questions around them as this helps solve questions quickly and with fair accuracy.

(iii) Physical Chemistry: When it comes to physical chemistry, numericals take up a chunk of the paper which means you must be thorough with units and variations of reactions as this helps crack questions quickly.

(iv) Inorganic Chemistry: While this segment might not have a high percentage of questions, it usually tests the conceptual understanding of students such as oxidizing properties of hydrogen peroxide,xenon reactions etc.Focus on reactions of chlorine, flourine and iodine as well along with the principles of quantatitive analysis and atomic structure.

(v)Time and Caution: While time management is extremely important, it is equally important to attempt chemistry questions with caution at every step making sure you keep in mind the units especially for questions revolving around the Mole Concept.

Physics comes across as a mind block for majority of students. With theorems and formulas equally important, these tips help you crack the Physics segment:

(i) HC Verma- Bible of Physics: If you're preparing for Physics, one of the key books you must absolutely devour from page to page is H.C. Verma. The book covers all the topics and is perfect for covering mechanics and helping build concepts of various topics.

(ii) Completion of Syllabus: If you have enrolled yourself in a coaching class, be sure to complete the study material of class XII by December giving you ample time to revise and attend the board exam as well.

(iii) Prepare a Table: It is helpful if you prepare a table of physical quantities, their units and formulae in one place for quick refrencing and better understanding. Most of the times, students miss the units and only focus on the value given in the options. By having a table for units and quantities, you can avoid silly mistakes.

(iv) Develop Mathematical Techniques: It will be highly useful to students if they work on their mental math capabilities which will drastically reduce solve time per question. Memorize tables upto 30, know the squares and square roots of numbers up to 30 and cube roots of numbers up to 10. This will go a long way in helping you quickly arrive to answers.

(v)Solve 50 MCQ's Daily: It is important to spend time on MCQ's which you can solve on your own. Give yourself a practice of up to 50 mcq's for every topic daily which will enable you to become thorough with the question paper and type of questions asked.
