IIT JEE Main Exam

The first step of IIT JEE is the Main examination. The exam is conducted in the online mode by NTA in the month of January and April. The NTA uses LAN instead of the Internet to conduct a safe and secure examination.

The further journey of the aspirants will only begin after the qualification in the Main examination. The scores in the Mains are the eligibility to move to the next phase i.e. Advanced.

IIT JEE Advanced Exam

JEE, Advanced is the second phase of the IIT JEE examination. The advanced exam is difficult than that of the main exam. This exam will be conducted in online mode.

JEE B Arch (AAT)

The exam is for the aspiring Architects. The exam will help you to pursue the Architecture courses from IITs. The candidates can give AAT exam once they will qualify the JEE Main and Advanced exam. However, there are only two IITs, which offer you the Architecture Courses through JEE B Arch. They are IIT Kharagpur and Roorkee.

IIT JEE Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria is an important factor to take care before appearing in the examination. The Nation Testing Agency has some guidelines for the eligibility criteria of the candidate. The candidate must go through these guidelines before applying for both the examination.

How to Score 90+ Marks in Maths JEE Mains 2024 ?

Some steps should be followed for Preparation of examinations:

1. Dont go through the Solutions without solving questions :-Students should first attempt questions instead to watching solutions first. Many Students have the tendency to read the questions and if they find difficult, they left that questions and watch the answer. This should not be done. If they are doing then they will become dependent on the Solutions. Candidate should have fighting spirit of solving the difficult questions also. Candidates should attempt questions atleast 15 minutes on each questions then refer the solutions.
2. Select the Chapters of Maths having more weightage in JEE Mains :Candidates should focus on the Chapters of Maths which have more weightage on JEE Mains. Some Chapters are very important for the examination point of view. Candidates should know about the exam pattern , Chapterwise weightage of Maths in JEE Mains . This will help them to get an idea that which type of questions usually comes in an exam? and What are the pattern of questions etc… which will help them in preparation of exams. Some topics will be given more weightage in accordance with the importance while learning. Students will get to know which topics are more important for exams and which one is less important can focus on the topics by analyzing the difficulty level and weightage.
3. Most Important Chapters of JEE Mains :Some chapters are very important from JEE Mains examination point of view. These chapters include — Integrals, 3-D Geometry, Probability, Conic section, Vector Algebra, Functions, Limits, Continuity & Derivability, Matrices & determinants, Probability, Permutation and Combination. Class `12 and Class 11 both have equal weightage of marks in examinations.
4. For scoring more marks Candidates must have :
  - Coaching or Good books : Arihant publication and Cengage which is the best book for JEE Mains Preparation
  - Question Solving >>>> Logical Thinking
    If Students are targeting 90+ marks in exams. Then along with the questions solving they should have the ability to think logically. As exam is of 3 hours . So equal time should be givem to each of the sections in exams. Maths is of 60 minutes. So logical thinking should be of advanced level then Candidates will be able to get more marks in examinations.
  - Its not easy to get 90+ marks in exam.

Last few Tips to Score Good Marks

Build your Concepts
- Read Books / Attend Class regularly
- Make notes / short notes properly.
