Starting IIT-JEE Preparation

When I started my preparation for IIT-JEE, I had many questions I wasted my time in finding answers to those questions. So I thought of writing this blog to help students preparing for IIT-JEE. I will try to answer frequently asked questions related to IIT-JEE preparation

What is IIT-JEE?

IIT-JEE is an entrance exam for all IIT’s, IT-BHU, ISMU Dhanbad. IIT's and IT-BHU are best engineering Institutes of India. Admission to these engineering institutes is through this entrance exam.

When to start? Time Required for IIT-JEE Preparation?

Students generally start their preparation for IIT-JEE from 11^th standard. They spend two years on preparation and then give exam in April after their 12^th Boards. Those who clear this exam are given All India rank. Certain seats are reserved. Based on rank students are called for counseling. Some students who are not able to clear exam in first attempt take a drop for a year after their 12^th and devote their time for preparation. Many Students get admission into other top engineering institutes of India through other engineering entrance exams.

How should I start my preparation?

Don’t try to solve IIT questions or some very difficult questions in the beginning. Starting with CBSE syllabus could be a good option. This exam is not about practicing difficult questions. IIT-JEE requires good understanding of basic concepts and continuous hard work for 2 years.

Which books should I use?

Use study material suggested by your teachers. Most coaching institutes prepare their own study material. They have good experience and they would give right guidance. I studied in CBSE school during my 11th and 12 th. and I found CBSE syllabus really helpful. Some books which were popular during my preparation days are
