IIT-JEE

What is the IIT-JEE?

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through an Act of Parliament. These Institutes play a leading role in technological manpower development and have research programmes comparable to the best in the world.

The admissions to the Undergraduate Programmes for all Indian and Foreign nationals at these institutions are made through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) popularly known as IIT-JEE.

Besides the IITs admission to the undergraduate courses of Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU), Varanasi ; Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad ; Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram and Indian Institute for Science Education & Research (USER) is through JEE.




All these institutions are known for providing quality education in science and technology and for research in frontier areas. The environment at these institutions is highly conducive for
  • Building a solid foundation of knowledge
  • Development of personality, confidence building, self-discipline and pursuit of excellence
  • Enhancement of creativity, motivation and drive
All of the above help to prepare the students admitted to these institutions for successful professional and social lives. Today, alumni of these institutions occupy key positions in industry and academia in India and abroad.


Eligibility Criteria

 

  • A candidate can attempt IIT-JEE only twice, in consecutive years.
  • Candidates appearing for IIT-JEE should have either passed in the previous year or should be appearing in the XII board exam in that year.
  • Candidates who have accepted admission at any of the IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISM, Dhanbad through JEE are not eligible to appear in IIT-JEE.

 

When and where is the IIT-JEE conducted?


IIT-JEE is usually conducted on the second Sunday of April at test centres across India & Dubai.


What is the current pattern of IIT-JEE?


There will be two question papers of three hours duration, each consisting of separate sections in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Questions in these papers will be of objective type, designed to test comprehension and analytical ability, which are to be answered on a specially designed machine-gradable sheet using HB pencils only. Incorrect answers will be generally awarded negative marks unless otherwise specified.



How do I prepare for IIT-JEE?

 

  • Competitive exams preparation calls for not only a different approach but also higher level of analytical skills & even greater effort. We at ECT understand this phenomenon and prepare our students for core fundamentals
  • We do not dilute preparation of any topic in our course structure because of any factors viz. school work etc. Unlike school/board exams you cannot score in competitive exams without reaching a certain level of proficiency. Thus all ECT programs aims at the same approach.
  • Mere understanding of a concept is not adequate. You have to learn to apply these concepts in solving tricky problem. Problems in competitive exams are not always direct application of a concept. Many problems involve more than ca basic concept. Our courseware aims at achieving the same.
  • You have to optimally use the time available upto IIT-JEE. This would also mean realignment of your extra-curricular & sports activities etc. Remember, the time available in a day is limited. We provide expert time management skills to students to achieve optimum success.
  • There is no dearth of books and problems available. One has to draw boundaries and concentrate on quality rather than quantity. It is possible that you can prepare a topic by doing 30-40 problems only, if you try to solve them complete by yourself. This may even involve devoting half an hour or one hour or may be even more on an occasional problem
  • We at ECT have scientifically designed our courseware to meet the required standards of competitive exams

When should I start preparing for IIT-JEE?


IITs have restricted the no. of attempts for IIT-JEE. Students now just have two chances - one just after the XII board exams and the second immediately in the next year. They should try to succeed in IIT-JEE in the first attempt itself and not take unnecessary pressure as uncertainty of ill-health or any accidents while appearing for the second & last attempt could be too risky.

Till the eighties, it was alright if you started your preparation just after XI and at the beginning of XII, but even then to get TOP Ranks you had to begin your preparation at the commencement of XI itself.In late nineties it became a norm to start preparation at the beginning of class XI and devote at least two years to train rigorously for IIT-JEE.

Now, with further increase in competition and keeping in mind that only two chances are available, only the very talent students can succeed by starting their IIT-JEE training in XI. But, if you do not have an inborn spark that can put you in Top 6000 students in JEE you have no other choice but to start as early as class 8 to achieve the desired success in IIT-JEE.

In case success in IIT-JEE is your goal and getting a good rank is your dream, ECT has programs to enable you to start right from the beginning of class 8 and this is the best time to start preparing.
