Introduction to IIT JEE
IIT [Indian Institute of Technology] is the most well-known institute in India and worldwide. It offers an internationally recognized standard of engineering education. As of now, there are twenty-four IITs across India. IIT JEE is an engineering entrance exam conducted nationally. It’s having two stages that are JEE Main and JEE Advanced. JEE Main is a screening exam to select the candidates for JEE Advanced Exam. JEE Advanced Exam is a final exam for select candidates for admission to IITs.
Key Points Of IIT JEE
Given below are the key points of IIT JEE:
#1. Syllabus and Textbooks
The syllabus of JEE is the most important document that candidates should get through in detail to understand more about the entrance exam. JEE syllabus contains a lot of information, including marks weightage, study materials, and objectives of the entire JEE course, and more. JEE Syllabus can be divided into two categories: JEE Main and JEE Advanced syllabus. The JEE Main 2021 syllabus is the same as the previous years. In JEE Main 2020, there are 75 questions out of 90 questions had to be answered by the aspirants5l. First, cover the NCERT books because most of the JEE Main questions are based on these.

#3. Plan your Study
The study plan is one of the vital roles in cracking the exam.
- Take out the syllabus and keep it with you till the exam.
- Refer to the best books and make a timetable to study accordingly.
- Revise chapter-wise and make important notes in a separate notebook.
- Once you revise the chapters, take the mock test, identify your mistakes, and study accordingly and consistently.
#4. Revision Techniques
An IIT JEE preparation is successful with proper planning and preparation and dedicated time for revisions. Making revisions will help you be in touch with the concepts. But you must remember that you should not learn new topics once you start the revision. After the revision chapters, please go through last year’s question paper and mock test, which helps to improve your confidence to crack the exam.
Conclusion
IIT JEE is the most prestigious and also critical Engineering entrance exam in India. A proper plan, schedule, and implementation is the key to success in IIT JEE Exam.
