Joint Entrance Exam, commonly
known as JEE is the common entrance exam conducted for admissions in various
engineering colleges. Previously it was only for getting admissions into IITs but
in 2012 Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE has changed it into a common
entrance test in place of AIEEE and IIT JEE. Now the exam is divided into two
parts. The first part i.e. JEE Main is conducted first and is to get admissions
into Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), National Institutes
of Technology (NITs) and other Central Funded technical institutes CFTIs etc.
For the second installment of this exam i.e. JEE Advanced, which is
specifically for IITs and ISM Dhanbad around 1.5 lakh students are selected on
merit basis from a total of more than 10 lakh of appearing students. The
candidates who clear JEE Mains but not JEE Advanced are given admissions into
IIITs, NITs etc.
Coming onto the pattern of the exams,
JEE Main has two papers, Paper-I
and Paper-II, the applicants may choose to give either one of them or both,
Paper-I is for admissions in
B.E/B.Tech (online/offline)
Paper-II is for admission in
B.Arch and B.Planning (online/offline)
JEE Advanced get students who
qualify IIT JEE Mains and are among the top 20 percentile students who appeared
for board exams. Around 1.5 lakh students appear for this exam. Concluding this
exams AIRs (All India Ranks) are given, students wishing to learn architecture
have to appear for an Architecture Aptitude test (AAT) and qualify.
The pattern for this exam has
changed quite a lot in past years, earlier only AIRs were given but since 2010
as the result of a legal dispute by Rajeev Kumar, a professor of IIT Kharagpur
a transparency was achieved by providing students copies of their answers and
cutoffs are announced.
Cracking this exam is not an easy
job and a lot of students adapt to different methods and strategies, while most
students now-a-days prefer joining a coaching center or an institute where they
are provided tailor made study material, notes and all kinds of counseling and
advice on how to score better in exams, some students take up online courses
and reap all the benefits offered by traditional coaching institutes along with
the added advantage of time saving and the rest choose to prepare themselves by
using various books and study material available in the market. The key to
crack this exam is to keep you motivated and focused. It takes a lot of hard
work but it's all worth it! Read more
