IIT

No, regular candidates should possess a valid score in the Common Admissions Test (CAT) conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management. IIT graduates, who obtain a CGPA of 8 and above on 10 are exempted from CAT score. Their shortlisting will be based on a composite score with due weights to applicant CAT score, past academic performance, industry experience and gender.

Yes, many people cover syllabus through self-study. You can take some help from Rao IIT Academy.
Best of luck.

Hello Vikas,
There are plenty of coaching institutes in the market, claiming to be number 1, who specialize in coaching for JEE Mains. I would advise you to join any coaching class nearer to your home. This is so because all of them have almost same technique. Fundamentally your intellect is polished, some tricks of answering are taught & past papers are solved & analysed.
Best wishes.

Hello Aryan,
There are enough students who have cleared JEE Mains without joining any coaching class. You have to have perseverance, capacity to do hard work and most importantly have set a goal! Take CBSE books, study all subjects everyday, give mock test everyday and you will be through.
Best wishes.

Hi Vyom,
IIT is very well placed globally. No university in India has the reputation IIT has globally. However, if you get admitted to an university like MIT or GeorgiaTech, then go for these.
Good Luck.

Hello Rishabh,
There are many students who do not join any coaching institute but do complete preparation by themselves. It's tough but surely not impossible. Chalking out timetable and sticking to it are two most important issues.
Best wishes.

Hello Ashish,
Number coaching institutes are not a must. There are many students who join IITs with self-preparation. It's tough but not impossible. With studies of 12th, it further complicates the issue. It is for this reason that many students take break of one year to exclusively prepare for IIT entrance exam.
Best wishes.

Hello Pravin,
Firstly, do not panic. Syllabus for JEE Mains is same as 12th of CBSE. But let me assure you that contents of state board & CBSE do differ widely.
If you are appearing for JEE Mains this year then I suggest that you should join crash course of some coaching institute. They will teach you many tricks for shortcut answers and some more.
Best wishes.

In order to get in IITs, you need to qualify in JEE (Mains) & then JEE (Advance). Start preparing now. It's tough but not impossible.
All the best.
