    • Top Answer By Saarthak Rai on 01-Feb-2021

    Ans. Many aspirants go through the same conflict. The preference depends on your career priorities and aim. Some points are discussed below which may be helpful in deciding.  If you are solely focused on JEE Advanced and have a decent score in JEE Main, then it is better to take the date after JEE Advanced. A good score in JEE Main will give you a backup and you can completely focus on JEE Advanced this way. If you didn’t do well in JEE Main and have lesser hope to score good marks, then you can take BITSAT before JEE Advanced. It is because delaying will increase the pressure. If your priority is BITSAT then it is better to be fully focused on this exam and go for the 3rd or 4th day of the exam. It will give you sufficient time to review the previous paper. If you are not sure about your preference then it will be better to attempt the exam prior to JEE Advance. For most exam aspirants, JEE Advanced is the dream from the beginning and it will be better to end the journey with your initial aim. Thus, you should choose the date as per your priority and comfort. Decide by judging your nervousness, preparation and then give priority to your choice. Read more

    Ans. Before choosing the best book I think it is very important to know your syllabus. Only then you can identify your weak and strong points from the syllabus and focus more on your weaknesses. The most important topics that are covered are Mole Concept Atomic Structure Periodicity Chemical and Molecular Bonding States of Matter Electrochemistry and Redox reactions Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium General Organic Chemistry Hydrogen Solutions and Colligative Properties Chemical Kinetics Coordination compounds P block, D&F block elements Metallurgy You can start preparing for these topics from class 11 itself. The books that are considered Bibles of Chemistry and are highly recommended for JEE Main and JEE Advanced aspirant include Modern Approach to Chemical Calculations: This book by RC Mukherjee is the best book out there for Physical Chemistry  Numerical Chemistry: This book by P Bahadur is recommended by many top tankers Organic Chemistry: This book by Robert Thornton Morrison is the best book for Organic Chemistry. Concise Organic Chemistry: This book by JD Lee is a great book for inorganic chemistry. It will make you fall in love with the subject rather than rote learning. Other than books you can resort to Video lectures, question papers, and a doubt solving forum. Most importantly Chemistry is a subject that requires tremendous concentration and consistency. You can go for frequent mock tests to test your knowledge. Read more

    Ans. To join a reputed college, Indian students are required to give JEE-Main and JEE-Advanced. Cracking these exams with a top rank gives you the opportunity to join top National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Admission into such reputed colleges, kickstart your Engineering career. Although both JEE-Main and JEE-Advanced are Engineering entrance exams, both have severe dissimilarities. The aspects of these dissimilarities have been discussed below. Level of difficulty: JEE-Advanced is far more difficult than JEE-Main. The primary focus of JEE-Main is to evaluate the candidates' knowledge of their class 11th and 12th syllabus while JEE-Advanced is taken to evaluate the analytical and problem-solving skills of the students. Syllabus: The JEE Main syllabus is similar to the one prescribed by CBSE whereas JEE-Advanced has a different syllabus. Various topics covered in JEE Main are not included in JEE Advanced. Eligibility: A good JEE Main rank will open doors for admission to NITs and IITs. But with a good JEE Advanced rank, one can get admitted into the most coveted IITs. Qualification: JEE Main required a student to have completed his Class 12th only. Whereas JEE Advanced has set certain minimum cutoff criteria in JEE Main and also meets minimum board exam criteria. Examination pattern: JEE Main exam comprises one paper only while JEE Main comprises 2 papers. The former consists of objective and single-answer questions while the latter consists of a variety of problems including multi-right, matrix match, comprehension types, and much more. The pattern of the former hardly changes while the pattern of the latter is modified every year. I hope such a detailed comparison has cleared your doubts and clarified the doubts regarding both the entrance exams. Read more

    Ans. My friend missed the cutoff by just 6 marks. She scored 120 marks and her JEE rank was a decent 4582. She knew that even if she managed to qualify which was difficult, she would not be given the opportunity to opt for a stream of her choice. However, she suffered a setback when she wasn’t even able to qualify for the cutoff. She lost all hope. After a few days, she was notified that the updated l JEE Advance rank list has been released. On checking the portal she was giddy to see that she had qualified!  She knew the rank would offer her almost nothing but the mere fact that she had qualified for one of the most difficult exams in India motivated her a lot.

    Ans. I would suggest you not take a drop as that should be taken only in the worst-case scenario. You seem to have got the Meta branch which is quite decent. Unless you have a specific area of interest, it is best to go for IIT Roorkee given its excellent brand name. Additionally, the branch change option is always there for your rescue. Work extremely hard in the first year, and then change your branch to the one you are interested in. This is better than appearing for JEE again after wasting a year. The risks attached to preparing for JEE Advanced again are high and it’s better to stay on the safer side. Trust me IIT Roorkee will not disappoint you and its rich coding culture will have you engrossed very quickly. The exposure and opportunities offered will shape your career extremely well. Read more

    Ans. Firstly, there are no minimum marks required in JEE Advanced to get into IIT Delhi, Bombay, or any other IIT. Instead, the JEE cutoff is decided based on the performance of the students. The total questions, as well as the pattern of the exam, change every year, and thus the cutoff fluctuates every year.  To be on the safe side, try scoring more than 50% to secure admission into IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, and IIT Roorkee CS branch (general category). JEE Advanced 2022 cutoff for CS Department at various IITs has been tabulated below Institute CS Cutoff IIT Delhi  51 Gender Neutral 136 Female IIT Kharagpur  112 Opening 303 Closing IIT Bombay  51 Gender Neutral, 136 Female IIT Roorkee 413 Male, 1463 Female Read more

    Ans. IIT Delhi has set papers twice in 2012 and 2013. However, there is no fixed level of difficulty for this exam as the final paper is not set by a single IIT. Rather, it is assembled after the inputs of eminent professors and experts of all IITs. First, a mixed team of professors from different IITs is formed by the concerned IIT The entire team is made to stay in one place in individual rooms.  Professors will be given time and material to formulate questions Whenever they have formulated one or more questions, they will go to a highly secure room and write down the question This process is repeated till multiple sets of Physics Chemistry and Maths are ready. These sets are then submitted to the team leader who vocoders the final set of paper This is how a JEE paper is set and thus predicting the level of difficulty is almost impossible since it’s the work of multiple experts.

    Ans. Well, getting into IIT with just 3 months of preparation does sound impossible but honestly, everything is possible if you have the right set of motivation and determination. Here are some basic tips that might help you achieve your goal. Stop thinking about what people will think of you and focus on yourself completely for once. Sometimes we fail to take risks just because of the fear of losing and facing society. Don’t let that stop you from achieving the impossible. Utilize the 3 months to the fullest. Be ready for challenges that ask you to do and sacrifice much more than you are capable of. Your limits will be tested relentlessly, and be ready to face such challenges. While preparing, don’t think of the aftermath and let that discourage you. Have tons of hope and trust me you will see yourself succeeding. These may sound like philosophical teachings but these will work like magic if you pay heed to them. Read more
