Last Minute Preparatory Tips for JEE

Winning Tips For JEE (Advanced)

The last time preparation turns differentiator and revision plays pivotal role. So, it is prudent to revise already learnt concepts through solved examples or previous years’ JEE papers. If you really want to score over others, you need to be a bit strategic, and streamline your efforts in positive direction with the winning approach.

·               Plan your preparation: Planning is the key to success. Unless you plan, it would be difficult to have a good command on all the subjects. Planning varies from subject to subject. So, you need to be specific while planning. Every subject needs to be planned so as to attempt maximum correct questions. The subjective analysis will make the task of your preparation rather easy.

·               Be well versed with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics: Keep a track of all the topics in the respective subjects, as there are certain topics that make for an entire subject. Application based chapters are very important to be looked upon. It is essential to pay equal weight-age to Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the exam constitutes questions based on the same.

·               Refer to NCERT Textbooks: Treat NCERT textbooks as a bible. Go through the concepts and key points of this textbook makes for a strong foundation for entrance exams. Several illustrated examples are very well explained to clear all doubts.

·               Revision of more Practice Set: Solving past 10 years’ question papers of IIT JEE will help you to assess your level of preparation. You must give more emphasis on written practice rather than mugging and cramming.

·               Don’t touch any New Topic: This is time to revise and go through already prepared topics. Taking up new topics will only lead to a panicky situation. It’s advisable to be thorough with whatever you know than skim through new concepts and chapters.

·               Mock test papers: Run through last five years’ mock text IIT-JEE test papers. This will help you understand the pattern and complexity of an entrance paper. Also, practicing them will enhance your skills to appear for the nearing exam. A student should have taken at least 15-20 full length tests before taking the actual exam.

·               Rest & Relax:  Taking too much stress and getting bogged down by panicky situations is not desirable. It is good to take some time off and do things that rejuvenate you and keep your mind cool. Watching a movie, meditation, jogging or playing football are some of the activities that you can carry out to peace out.

·               Keep updated with changed Pattern: Always remember that you must prepare keeping in mind the exam notification, syllabus, patterns and importance of chapters so you can pay special attention to topics of utmost importance.

If you want to be winner in this exam, don’t lose your patience, and be confident as this JEE (Advanced) is similar to other several exams you have appeared so far. You have done your bit whatever you were supposed to do. No need to agonize! Now, this is time to keep yourself focused, and appear at the exam with positive attitude speculating that you are going to hit the jackpot.

Wishing in advance for your sure success in JEE Advanced!

Best of luck!

All the best!!

How to Crack JEE (Advanced)

Think advance to crack JEE Advanced!

Faring well in XII board is not the end game of getting into premier engineering colleges, but this is the crucial juncture, where the real game of entry begins. This year onwards, the pattern for the entrance in the premier engineering colleges has undergone a bit change. With the two-phase arrangement of JEE, the first phase JEE (Main) is over, and the second phase JEE (Advanced) is on countdown.   Clearing it will open the gates for the entrance in premier engineering colleges. Let’s have an overview on the changed pattern of JEE (Advanced) as per the guidelines and analyze the probable trend of the exam.

New Format of JEE

New pattern of JEE exam has replaced IIT JEE, AIEEE, ISAT, Admission Test for 3 Indian Statistical Institutes (ISI) and State PETs.  The JEE exam will be held in two parts i.e. JEE (Main) & JEE (Advanced).  JEE (Main) Offline Exam was scheduled on 7^th April 2013 (Sunday) & Online Exam was held from 8th April to 25th April 2013. Selected candidates on the basis of JEE (Main) shall appear for JEE (Advanced) on 2^nd June 2013 (Sunday).

For JEE (Main); 40% weightage would be given to Class XII Board exams and top 1.5 lakh students based on Marks in JEE (Main) exam shall be eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) exam. Further merit list for admissions to IITs shall be prepared on the basis of marks in JEE (Advanced) subject to condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile categories of their board exams.  Admission to NITs will be based on 40% weightage for performance in Class XII board marks (normalized) and the remainder 60% weightage would be given to performance in JEE (Main) and a combined All India Rank (AIR) would be decided accordingly.

Substantial weightage to Class XII will mean students will have to give their best shot to this level in order to qualify for the JEE (Main) as well as to come under the category of top 20 percentile to finally be selected for IIT. Besides this, they will also need to do well in the accompanying aptitude test. With the improved mode of testing which includes analytical, logical and reasoning skills being tried, it will tighten the selection process without having a negative impact on the admission to the IITs, NITs or IITs. Giving importance to Class XII will become mandatory now which means students will have to attend college and pay attention to how they fare in the Board exam. The syllabus of XII and the new IIT JEE are similar but the exam pattern is different hence even coaching classes will have to revise their teaching methods to suit the new system.

Eligibility Criteria for JEE (Advanced)

Only 1.5 lakh of the top rankers in the JEE (Main) will be eligible to appear in the JEE (Advanced) 2013. This number is set to increase next year keeping in mind the fact that engineering continues to be in high demand as a profession in India over the years. Close to three of every 10 high school graduates aspire to be an engineer and wish to speed up their chances of employment after graduation with the engineering degree in hand. It will be interesting to see if the existing 24 engineering exams complement and become the part of JEE.

Preparation for JEE (Advanced)

Here are few tips to prepare subject-wise for JEE (Advanced):

Subject-wise Preparation for JEE (Advanced)

Physics: 
Of various portions in Physics, Mechanics and Electromagnetism are the two important segments, which should be prepared thoroughly with analytical eye view. However, other portions like Heat, Thermodynamics, Optics and Modern Physics should also be prepared with due deliberation. These topics cover maximum questions contributing to high percentage of marks, and are relatively easier. Preparing these topics with proper planning can equip you to score high. 

Chemistry:
In 2012 JEE paper, Physical chemistry contributed nearly 40% of the entire paper. However, having point-wise analysis of last 7-8 years of question paper, we can easily draw the conclusion about the importance of all the three segments – Physical, Organic and Inorganic. All these three segments are equally important. So, while revision you should be judicious in paying equal attention to all the segments. Physical Chemistry as stated is the most important portion because the numerical questions from this portion are usually not as much difficult as others but more scoring. Likewise, Inorganic Chemistry also plays a vital role in scoring high, but it is observed that many a time it is neglected. So, if you want to score high, you should give proper time to remember the portions from inorganic in chronology. This will actually help in boosting your score. The easy way to learn and remember this portion is regular revision.

Mathematics: 
Calculus and Algebra are the two most important sections in Mathematics and contribute more than 60% in the paper. But the topics like 2D, Vector and 3D are very scoring and easy to understand. The inter-relationship among various topics is very important to understand in Mathematics because we see that the concepts of coordinate geometry are interrelated with complex numbers and the vice versa. Vectors are also very helpful in 3D. Calculus is equally important because it has a variety of applications. Proper understanding of Functions and Probability is essential to solve the questions from this portion as the concepts of these two portions are interrelated. 

Strategy for Preparation of JEE (Advanced)

Holistic Strategy for Preparation of JEE (Advanced)

Since JEE is conceptual and application based examination, hence deep understanding of every topic is very much required. And, you also need to prepare strategically. Those, who really want to crack, should work smartly with positive state of mind. Hard work in coordination with proper strategy can have the potential to bring desired result you have been yearning for years.

Success doesn’t come with the sheer hard work you put in round the clock but it largely depends upon the way you work. So, what you need to identify is the time available to you in contrast to the vast syllabi, and sort out the feasible strategy accordingly to sail through this toughest career-outshining engineering competition. Now, this is the time to revise more in less time. Practice as much numerical problems as you can because there portions are high scoring. Make a habit of regular revision with intelligent time management so as to reckon the formula on finger tips.

Points to be Deliberated

As per the notification, JEE (Advanced) is expected to be on the same lines with that of the IIT-JEE. We are aware of the pattern of JEE examination, which is known for its changing patterns almost every year. In order to get the hang of ideas, we can enlist different sections that have been already asked in last few years. It would help you to the greater extent in sketching a broad outline for this year’s paper.

A.     Single Correct Answer Type/ Straight objective type MCQs

B.     Multiple Correct Answer(s) Type/ Multiple Answer correction type MCQs

C.     Assertion–Reason Type questions

D.     Paragraph Type/ Linked Comprehension MCQs (2 to 3 questions based on one passage)

E.     Integer Answer Type/ Numerical answer type questions with one digit numeric answer

F.      Matrix match type / Matrix match type questions with two columns listing different entries 

JEE (Advanced) - A Bird’s Eye View

Distribution of the no. of Questions in JEE (Advanced) 

As far as the strategy of preparation is concerned, the most important aspect to understand is the distribution of the number of questions from class XI & XII. The trend of last few years questions show that the ratio of questions from XI & XII is almost 60:40 respectively. More than anything else, the important aspect of the overall preparation is to be strategic. You need to pay more attention on class XI syllabus compared to class XII syllabus because 60% of questions are from XI syllabus. As your board exam has just finished, the syllabus of XII would almost be in mind but XI syllabus needs thorough revision.

Analyzing Physics, we find that the questions in Modern Physics are usually easier and scoring, which can be covered in short time. A similarity can be drawn between Concepts of Electrostatics and Gravitation which will actually prove time saver while revising.

In Chemistry, as mentioned earlier Physical Chemistry is scoring and easier if practiced well. Questions from Solutions, Chemical Kinetics and Atomic Structure are usually direct and scoring.

In Mathematics, Coordinate Geometry from XI needs proper attention at this time as it could actually come out as score differentiator. Make a table of results of Circle and Conic Section as the same concepts are applied repeatedly in all parts, but with different results.
