Topper Study Strategy, Schedule and TimeTable for JEE Exam

Brief Overview of JEE Mains and JEE Advanced

If you are either pursuing your 12th schooling or have completed your schooling already, with Mathematics as the main subject of your intermediate exam, then you would be looking forward to giving the JEE Main and JEE Advanced examinations for the year 2021.

The first thing you need to know about the JEE entrance examinations is the difference between the Main and Advanced entrance tests.

JEE Main entrance tests are given by the intermediate students whose aspiration is to join the Undergraduate Engineering Programs conducted by the IIT’s, NIT’s, Institutions funded by the Central or the State governments.

There are mainly two modes of paper taken for the JEE Mains: The first one is the pen and paper mode, and the second one is the online mode. The pen and paper mode examination & online examination will be held from Feb to May 2022.

Meanwhile, if you score the marks of more than the cut-off marks declared in the JEE Mains result, then you can further appear for the JEE Advanced paper that will generally be taken exactly 1 and half months after the Mains when the results of Mains are declared.

JEE Mains is generally conducted by the CBSE, while JEE Advanced is conducted by the reputed IIT’s. JEE Advanced tests are held for taking admission in the main reputed IITs and ISM’s (Indian School of Mines).

Papers and Tests Taken in JEE Mains and Advanced

There are mainly 2 papers taken in the JEE Mains tests, where the first paper is for the students who want admission in B. E. and B. Tech courses. On the other hand, the students whose aspirations are to take admission in the B. Arch. And B. Planning. courses can give the second paper also.

The first paper is available in both online and offline mode, while the second paper is only available in the offline mode. On the other hand, JEE Advanced has the restriction of giving both the first and second papers to all the participants.

Moreover, the participants have to give the pen and paper exams and the online exam facility is not provided in the Advanced entrance exams. There are certain Myths about JEE Exams that need to be cleared before everything.

Strategies of Previous Year Toppers for JEE Mains

JEE Mains is one of the most awaited papers for the students who aspire to do B. E. or A. Arch. at some of the reputed IIT, NIT, and government-affiliated Engineering Institutions in India. There are around 90 objective type questions asked for the main subjects of Physics (30 questions), Mathematics (30 questions), and finally Chemistry (30 questions).

The participants of the exam have approximately 3 hours to complete all the objective type questions. The examiners set the questions such that around 10 questions are easy, 5 questions are difficult, and the remaining 15 are medium in nature. So, if you want to pass the exams with good marks, then you must at least answer 20 questions without any error.

Some students think that JEE Mains need a very hard preparation to get eligible marks. However, some topper like Laksh Gupta (AIR 9 in JEE Mains 2020), Navneet Jindal (AIR 1 in JEE Mains 2019),  Suraj Krishna (AIR 1 in JEE Mains 2018), Kalpit Veerwal (AIR 1 in JEE Mains 2017), and Vasu Jain (AIR Rank 3rd in JEE Mains 2017), Nikhil Chaturvedi (AIR 4 in JEE Mains 2014), think that this exam is easy as compared to the expectations, and all it requires is to solve the questions as soon as possible, with the help of some trick solving.

When asked about the secret of Nikhil Chaturvedi’s success in JEE Mains, he replied with a smile that he didn’t overemphasize on the exams, but he simply allotted daily 45 minutes to his strong subject Chemistry, 1 hour to Physics, and 2-3 hours to Mathematics for the preparation on daily basis.

He also said that the last final week before the exam is crucial for the preparation and all students must work hard to solve the questions as soon as possible, before appearing for the exams.

When Kalpit Veerwal was asked about the secret of his success, then he replied that if you want to pass the JEE Mains test, then you must start practicing with the earlier year papers and JEE Main Mock Tests. The students can give online Mock Tests that are best to know your potential as a participant.

Finally, when Vasu Jain was asked about whether coaching institutions are mandatory for the preparation of JEE Mains, then he replied that it depends upon the ease and understanding of the main PCM subjects. Some students need to join coaching, while others can easily prepare for the exams without any coaching.

The JEE Mains exam doesn’t need any high-level understanding, and it is more about solving speed and knowing a wide variety of concepts.
