Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a national-level engineering entrance exam in India conducted for admission to some of the country’s most prestigious technical institutions, including the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other government-funded engineering colleges. It is designed to identify students with strong aptitude in science and mathematics who are capable of handling rigorous engineering programs.

JEE is conducted in two stages: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. JEE Main is organized by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and acts as both an entrance exam for NITs, IIITs, and other institutions, as well as a qualifying test for JEE Advanced. Candidates who rank among the top performers in JEE Main become eligible to appear for JEE Advanced, which is conducted annually by one of the IITs for admission exclusively into the IITs.

The examination tests students in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, based primarily on the Class 11 and 12 syllabus. JEE emphasizes not only theoretical knowledge but also conceptual understanding, logical reasoning, and problem-solving ability. Due to its high level of competition and difficulty, JEE requires consistent preparation, strong fundamentals, and effective time management, making it one of the most challenging and respected entrance examinations in India.

JEE Main application process involves online registration through the official NTA website.

Here’s the JEE Application Process explained step-by-step in a simple way 👇

🧠 Key Points You Should Know

🔹 Overlap: Both JEE Main and Advanced cover class 11 and 12 syllabus topics — but Advanced goes deeper into problem-solving and application.
🔹 Official PDFs Available: JEE Main and JEE Advanced syllabi PDFs are available from respective authorities (NTA for Main; IIT Roorkee for Advanced).
🔹 Preparation Tip: Base your study plan on the official list and focus on understanding concepts thoroughly across all topics.

Here are effective JEE preparation tips that work for both JEE Main and JEE Advanced 👇

📌 1. Understand the Syllabus & Exam Pattern

Start by knowing the complete JEE syllabus and exam pattern. Focus more on high-weightage chapters but don’t skip any topic. Knowing what to study saves a lot of time.

📌 2. Build Strong Concepts (NCERT is Key)

For Chemistry (especially Inorganic & Organic), NCERT is a must. In Physics and Maths, focus on understanding formulas, derivations, and concepts rather than rote learning.

📌 3. Make a Realistic Study Plan

Create a daily and weekly timetable with:
