What is the IIT-JEE?

IIT-JEE abbreviated Indian Institutes of Technology - Integrated Entry Test. These days, however, IIT-JEE has a new name; it is called JEE Advanced (Joint Entrance Exam Advanced) which is a full entry exam in India at India's leading engineering institutes called the Indian Institutes of Technology.

In India, there are major engineering and science institutes called Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and other state-sponsored technology institutions (GFTIs).

Currently, the admission process at these institutions follows, in fact, a two-step assessment process in Physics, Chemistry and Math. The first step involves the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA); approximately 1.1 - 1.5 million students from all over India (and abroad) took the test. They were ranked according to their order of eligibility for the test; therefore, they are awarded All India Ranks (AIRs) by the JEE executive authorities. JEE Main AIRs are used to provide access to NITs, IIITs and GFTI.

A total of 220,000 - 225,000 students at JEE Main have been selected for the next step, JEE Advanced. With a selection of 220k – 225k senior students, the cut points vary annually in the range of 30–35% depending on the difficulty levels of the test.

The second step consists of JEE Advanced by IITs. In this study, candidates more than a pre-determined percentage, based on a certain percentage eligible for each subject, are also awarded All Standards of India (AIRs) by JEE Advanced officials. JEE Advanced AIRs are used to grant approval to IITs.

JEE Main contains 1 test of 3 hours during which marks (marks) are given out of a total of 300 marks of 100 marks each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The questionnaire is in Multiple Choice Format (MCQ) format; here students are required to select one option from a given list of options in response to the 'query title'. There are 75 equally divided questions between the three subjects. Therefore, 4 marks are awarded for each correct answer, 1 mark is deducted for each incorrect answer and no marks are awarded / deducted without reply.

JEE Advanced consists of 2 tests, each of a 3-hour period, performed on the same day and a 2-hour interval between them. The JEE Advanced Test format contains a variety of MCQs as well as numerical type answers.

Let me give you an example of one of the MCQ types. At JEE Main, only one option is to be selected; however, for one of the MCQ types offered by JEE Advanced, one or more options must be selected by the candidate. The questionnaire does not say how many options should be chosen; simply states 'one or more options may be correct'. Therefore, any ONE OR TWO OR any of the three options and others need to be selected by the candidate. Additionally, there may be negative markings to prevent guessing and to assess whether the examinee has complete knowledge of the subject.

Unlike JEE Main, JEE Advanced does not announce anything in advance other than the times and duration of the test. Therefore, students receive the question format, environment and number of questions, marking pattern and full marks only when they begin their assessment.

As mentioned above, every year JEE Advanced rewards AIRs over a set percentage that varies anywhere from 25-35%. The number of students awarded AIRs is in the range of 30–50K. However, the combined number of seats in all IITs is estimated at 11,000 but the number of AIRs awarded is usually much higher than this number. Therefore, the AIR award does not entitle the student to the admission of one of the IITs.

As in JEE Main, the points obtained by candidates in JEE Advanced are very low. The 30–50k AIRs awarded by JEE Advanced to the total number of approximately 1.1–1.5 million students starting the two-step process translates to about 2-4% of the total number of students. This means that 2-4% of the country's top students can handle only 25–35% or more in JEE Advanced.

JEE Main and JEE Advanced assess the levels of competence, accuracy and speed of the person to be written. The lower scores are a clear indication of the skill levels required for these tests. Negative marking not only ensures that the candidate does not use speculation but also checks the level of accuracy and strength of the person. Since the required level of competence is higher than the school / Board exams, baptism candidates get tired quickly and tend to make counting mistakes, especially at the end of the exam.

JEE Advanced is notorious for this as it has 2 test papers, each with 3 hours, and a 2 hour interval between them. In addition, JEE Advanced is held in May when the summer heat of India drops energy levels in candidates. Therefore, the Advanced JEE candidate is less than 8 hours of strenuous summer heat in addition to the maximum skill levels required for the test; this results in a large number of calculation errors. Therefore, in both cases, the student's level of resilience and skills should be gradually increased over time as the candidate prepares for these tests.

Student speeds are also assessed by JEE Main and Advanced. Very few students can say that they have managed to solve all the questions, unlike the school / board exams.

At JEE Main, if a candidate can solve 63–67 of 75 questions with 90% accuracy, you have a very good chance of getting the best points! JEE Advanced is a completely different story from
