IIT-JEE Exam Preparation Experience

Competitive exams often come in various formats, ranging from multiple-choice questions to essay-based assessments. Understanding the format is crucial, as it influences your preparation strategy. Some exams may have sections dedicated to specific subjects, while others test a broad range of knowledge. Additionally, time constraints are common, so time management skills are essential.

I started early, preparing at least 6 months before the exam date to ensure that I covered the topics in time. I made a Study Schedule like planning out my study schedule to ensure consistent progress and avoid last-minute grills because you will miss out on things. Focused on Weak Areas: Identified my weak areas and gave more time to those subjects or topics. Practice with sample questions to familiarize yourself with the exam format by practicing the previous year’s questions and identifying areas where you need improvement. Stay updated with current events and developments in various fields to enhance your general knowledge.

There are 2 methods for giving JEE Exam: JEE Mains and JEE Advance. First, we have to go through the JEE mains and then for JEE Advance. The exam is totally based on MCQ Questions which we have to submit on a OMR sheet. The JEE Main exam has a total of 90 questions from all three subjects. The exam has 30 questions each from Physics Chemistry and Mathematics. Out of 30 questions, 20 are multiple choice questions and 10 are questions with numerical value answers. And JEE Advanced consists of two papers, each of three hours duration. Both papers are mandatory and carry equal weightage. The exam comprises a mix of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), numerical answer type (NAT) questions, and matching type questions. The subjects covered are Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
