JEE Main

JEE Mains is an entry-level exam for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other government-funded technical institutes. It focuses on basic concepts and problems. JEE Advanced is more conceptual and challenging, testing deep understanding and problem-solving ability across subjects. It is required for admission to IITs.Preparing for both JEE Mains and Advanced simultaneously requires a structured approach, disciplined time management, and strategic focus. Here's a comprehensive plan to help you balance the preparation for both exams:Aim for strong foundational knowledge for both exams.Focus on JEE Advanced topics while ensuring you can handle the syllabus of JEE Mains as well.Keep in mind that Mains is more about speed and accuracy, while Advanced demands deeper conceptual understanding.Many topics are common between Mains and Advanced, especially in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. However, Advanced will delve deeper into these topics, so focus on:Physics: Mechanics, Electricity, Magnetism, Waves, Optics, Thermodynamics, Modern Physics.Chemistry: Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry (with more emphasis on conceptual clarity).Mathematics: Calculus, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, Vectors, and 3D geometrySolve previous years' JEE Mains papers and take online mock tests to improve speed and accuracy. Solve previous years' JEE Advanced papers (especially from 2015 onwards). These questions are often more conceptual and will help you identify areas where you need to focus.

Hey Azfar, I wrote JEE advance twice after 12th. Based on my experience, I share this, if the candidate does not attempt JEE Advanced in the same year that he or she qualifies his Class 12 examinations, then that candidate will have no two attempts left. In the eligibility criteria, candidates are allowed a maximum of two attempts at JEE Advanced, and that has to be used in two consecutive years after qualifying Class 12.For example, somebody qualifies Class 12 in the year 2025. The individual is thus entitled to give the JEE Advanced examination conducted both in 2025 and in 2026. If such a person, however, abstains from JEE Advanced of the year 2025 then she will end up losing an opportunity and has left with one only in 2026 as these two chances come consecutively and not can be pushed further to another year. Therefore, it is up to the aspiring candidates to strategize and seize the opportunity well within their window of eligibility.UPVOTE if u find it helpful.
