    • Top Answer By Sagardeep on 02-Mar-2023

    Ans. You are considering pursuing either mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. We highly recommend you consider GNE Ludhiana. The Amritsar Campus of GNDU only offers three B.Tech streams: Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, and Urban Planning. However, the mechanical and civil engineering streams are available at the regional campus of Sathiala and were established in the 2014 batch. The faculty for Computer Science and Electronics at GNDU is exceptional. However, it is important for you to research placement statistics and other relevant information before making a final decision. If your rank is 77k, there may be a slight chance for you to get into mechanical engineering at GNE. However, there is an option for you to change streams after one year if there are any vacant seats in your preferred department. Read more

    Ans. Comparing competitive exams or choosing one over the other is a very illogical thing to do. The entire agenda behind a competitive exam is to build your knowledge and test you on the basis of the same. So unless you defer from gaining the right set of knowledge, any competitive exam will bear the same result. I have a very effective technique to tackle this issue. Prepare in such a way that you are appearing for JEE Advanced. This is because the course and structure of Advanced are such that once you are ready to clear that, you can clear every other exam too. This means your focus will not be divided and all you can do is focus on one exam. Keep focusing on the preparation for JEE Advanced and when your BITSAT is around the corner start solving mock tests to improve your speed. Prepare additionally for English and Logical Reasoning questions. BITSAT focuses more on your speed than the clarity of your concepts. So a mere preparation of 3 months before BITSAT is more than enough provided that your concepts are clear from JEE Advanced preparation. The short video below will explain the core differences between JEE and BITSAT So instead of choosing one single exam, prepare for JEE Advanced and target both as the future is unpredictable.  Read more

    Ans. A score of 250 out of 360 in Mains is difficult but not impossible. Your performance depends on your capacity to grasp concepts and your former knowledge. For some, it might be a cakewalk while for some it might be an unattainable number despite the relentless effort. The syllabus is elaborate so one should have a lot of time to prepare. If you are serious about scoring 250 follow the simple tips I have mentioned below Aim for a score that is higher than 250 and then only after tremendous efforts will you be able to touch the 250 mark. Choose a wise mentor who will guide you throughout your exam preparation. Continuous revision will do wonders for your preparation. Even if you are confident in a certain topic, keep revising so that the flow is not broken. Work on your weaknesses rather than ignoring them. My friend had joined the Filo-app. One-to-one sessions with tutors helped her a lot in making her understand and practice Math concepts. Take mock tests regularly, about once or twice a week. This helps you identify the areas you need to work on and prepares you well. Lastly, you need to stay optimistic as this journey you have embarked on is tough and requires a lot of determination and motivation. Take care of your health, both physical and mental. Read more

    Ans. NCERT books can help a lot to prepare for JEE Mains Chemistry. But it is not sufficient.  Inorganic Chemistry is the most scoring part. And for this section, NCERT books are a must. In past years there were questions directly from NCERT. But read your class notes and textbooks as well.  For Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, NCERT isn’t enough. You need to practice a lot, in order to have a good command of these sections. For these sections, go through the NCERT, make notes for important sections and solve practice series.  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. Many seem to believe NTA has ruined JEE Main. There had been controversies regarding the percentile system. Students with higher scores got lower percentile and vice versa. Also, as the examination is done on different shifts and with different sets of questions, students seem to believe there is a huge luck factor at play. The normalization process isn’t full proof. The difficulty level of question papers is subjective and can’t be normalized.  Read more

    Ans. NCERT books are a good place to start the preparation for Organic Chemistry. But you shouldn’t rely on NCERT solely. Once you are through NCERT books, study standard reference books such as O.P. Tandon & A.K. Virmani, and Himanshu Pandey.   Organic Chemistry is extensive and NCERT books usually cover only the basic formulas. It’s good for clearing concepts but you will fall behind in competition if you are only following NCERT.  Read more
