Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a Common Engineering Entrance Examination consisting
of Choice based pattern which is conducted for admission in various engineering
colleges & Universities and courses all over India. It is viewed
universally as the most challenging engineering admission tests.
JEE consists of 2 parts, JEE Main and
JEE Advanced. JEE-Advanced is for admission to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), whereas JEE-Main exam is for admission to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information
Technology (IIITs), Centrally Government of India Funded
Technical Institutes (CFTIs). Students selected in JEE Mains are eligible for
appearing in JEE Advanced. Over 200,000 students are selected each year.
JEE MAIN
JEE Main exam has two papers i.e Paper-1 and Paper-2.
Candidates may opt for either or both of them. Both papers contain multiple
choice based questions. Paper 1 is for admission to Bachelorsof Engineering/ Bachelors of Technology courses. It is conducted both online
and offline. Paper-2 is for admission in Bachelors of Architecture and Bachelors
of Planning courses. It is conducted offline only.
JEE Main has a fixed exam pattern. JEE Main Paper-1 is
of 3 hrs and consists of 30 multiple choice questions in each of the 3 subjects
i.e physics, chemistry and maths. There is negative marking for an incorrect
answer. 4 marks are given for correct answers and 1 mark is subtracted for
incorrect answers.
An important change related to 12th board Exam percentage
is made in JEE Main 2017. The weightage of 12th board Exam percentage is no
more considered for calculating JEE (Main) examination ranks from 2017
onwards.
Candidates to qualify for the admission in the
IITs/NITs/IIITs & other CFTIs whose admissions are based on the JEE
(Advanced) examination / JEE (Main) examination ranks, they
should have scored at least 75 percentage marks in the 12th class
examination, or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th Board class
examination conducted by respective Boards. For SC/ST students the qualifying
marks would be 65 percentage in the 12th class examination.
All the Indian candidates should possess AADHAAR ID card
issued by UIDAI. At the time of filling application form of JEE (Main)
Examination –2017, the candidates have to enter their AADHAAR number, name,
date of birth & gender which will be validated with the UIDAI’s data.
In case, these particulars do not match, candidates will not be able to fill
the application form for JEE (Main) Examination –2017. Therefore, the
candidates are advised to ensure that their AADHAAR ID card has all correct
details related to their name, date of birth & gender as per school
records. If there is some mismatch in details, the candidates should
immediately get it corrected in AADHAAR data or school records.
Your in
3 months (90 days) strategy to prepare for JEE MAIN 2017 are as follows:
- After
completing Class 12th curriculum, you must immediately start revision for Class
11th syllabus. As 40-45% of the questions asked in JEE Main are from Class 11th
syllabus. Time is a crucial factor here, as students would not get enough time
later due to Class 12th board exam.
- From November to
February, student must simultaneously solve Class 12th board exam test paper &
also refer to previous years’ papers. Concept-wise preparation brings fundamental
clarity for JEE Main
- Allocate some time in
daily schedule to practice model answers for CBSE board
- Students enrolled in coaching
center must attend review classes so that they go through systematic pattern
for revision. If not planned properly, revision could be haphazard.
- Make a note of all
doubts that may arise over the next couple of months & try to solve them on
your own. But if you are not able to, then consult your subject teacher.
- Help & seek help
from peer groups. Best way to revise is to explain a topic to friends. Complete
clarity with respect to a topic comes only when it is expressed in own words.
If possible teach topic-wise. Try to make it a regular practice.
- Make summary points to
remember all concepts topic wise & flag questions with twist, intermingling
of concepts requiring analytical skills. This will help in fast revision couple
of days before or even on the eve of examination.
- Student should aim at
100 % strike rate i.e. all attempted questions are correct. This will give you competitive
edge over others who will be left behind in the race due to negative score on
incorrect attempts.
- To gain benefits,
students should remain focused through-out the preparation period with a
positive attitude to study with utmost concentration
- A short-break of 5 - 10
minutes after every one & half hours of serious study is advisable.
- Hard work and dedication
are the keys to success.
- Find a mentor in your
close circle. It can be your brother, sister, mother, father, cousin, class
teacher – anyone.
- Know your strengths and
weaknesses
- Plan your time table
- Practice previous year
papers
- use self taken notes
- Focus on NCERT books.
Important points under each concept need to be remembered.
Topics
to be considered for preparation to crack JEE MAINS 2017
Important
Topics of Physics: In
Physics, the laws of motion, various conservation laws like the conservation of
linear momentum, angular momentum, mechanical energy, concept of potential
energy and uniformly accelerated motion, field theory (electric, magnetic and
gravitational field) are must to understand. You should have a fair
understanding of Kinematics and Dynamics and it is essential to be able to
build a strong problem solving ability. Also, the Theory of Fields
(Electromagnetism) is very important. Pay special attention to Optics and
Modern Physics, which is usually neglected by the students.
Important
Topics of Chemistry: Physical
Chemistry is quite scoring. Students tend to neglect Inorganic Chemistry, but
just a proper understanding of it can prove beneficial. Basic concepts of
Organic and Inorganic Chemistry must be thoroughly prepared. Going through
complete Inorganic Chemistry 4-5 times is very important.
Important
Topics of Mathematics: Calculus forms base for almost every part of Mathematics. Other
important and scoring topics are Determinants, Sequences, Permutation and
Combination. In addition to this, students must also have an in-depth
understanding of topics like Co-ordinate Geometry, Vectors and trigonometry.
Three-dimensional geometry should be practiced to get additional or
compensating score.
