JEE PREPARATION TIPS

JEE Main 2018 is just around the corner. Let cracking JEE MAINS be your 2019’s first target to be achieved. You have a solid month before you face the MAINS part 1 paper which will be scheduled from the first week of January till the 20th 

 If you are an aspiring student who is looking forward to pursue engineering from one of the top IITs, NITs and other prestigious institutions in India, then cracking JEE Main 2019 becomes obligatory for you.

 HOW IS JEE MAINS CONDUCTED EVERY YEAR?

 NTA conducts JEE Main 2019 twice a year. Paper I will be fully computer-based, whereas Paper II will be computer-based and as well as part pen-and-paper based. You can choose to attempt the first component of JEE MAIN 2019 between January1 - 20 which is held in 8 different slots and the second component is usually held from April 6 - 20 again in 8 different slots. A clear and consistent strategy aided by good concentration will definitely help any aspiring candidate to crack JEE which is one of the most important exams held in India. Also, few smart tricks will help you in clearing the exam with ease and efficiency.

As quoted by India today, ”More than 12 lakh students will be competing to secure a seat in their dream engineering college. Top 2.2 Lakhs students will qualify for JEE Advanced which is conducted by the Joint Admission Board of the IIT's. Whereas, CBSE will publish a separate merit list comprising of All India Rank and Home State Rank based on JEE Main score basis which students can then opt for their desired engineering college viz NIT, IIIT, Central Funded Technical Institutes”.

This year there will be no weight-age on board marks on deciding the All India Rank in JEE Main. With just about a week left for the exam, all serious aspirants must stick to a regime so that the entire year's effort does not go waste.

• First take some time to brush up your fundamentals as this will help you in solving a problem by visualizing a concept which will reduce the difficulty of understanding a given problem.
• Solve related problems same day after you complete a certain topic as this will surely help you to retain the concept you learned.
• Make a list of formulas in the topic you learn and always have a glance at them whenever you have some free time.
• Keep a list of formulas in a separate book all the topics.
• Solve at least 5 to 10 problems with varying degrees of difficulty everyday.
• Make list of all the scientific values required for problem solving and make sure you go through them every day

CHEMISTRY:

• Learning chemistry means understanding a combination of concepts, theory, problems and chemical equations.
• Always start by brushing up your fundamentals and learning faster methods to solve your problems
• While you go through a certain topic, ensure that you always make list of all the important topic and equations
• Practicing equations regularly and as soon as you complete the respective topic will help your brain retain the concept which will eventually help you in solving a given problem
• Make a list of all the mass numbers and other scientific values required and take time everyday to go through them.
• Note down important naming reactions, reaction mechanisms and other important details like reducing-oxidizing agents and chemical structures

MATHEMATICS:

• The most important subject which will take considerable effort to master is mathematics.
• The only efficient and effective way to master this paper is through constant practice and thorough understanding of all the topics.
• As mentioned for other subjects, brushing up the fundamentals is very crucial for mathematics.
• Consistent problem solving will enhance your speed and also you will create your own shortcuts and relate other topics also as mathematics are interlinked.
• Speed and efficiency is very important to solve more number of questions.
• Improve your mental mathematical abilities by practicing faster primary mathematical areas of multiplication, division etc
• Make a separate list of formulas under each topic and practice all the shortcuts and sums for each and every formula.
• Practice visualizing a given question before solving and read the concept behind every question as you solve.
• Dedicate considerable amount of time from your preparation to mathematics as, mastering this subject will help you ace the other subjects too.
