IITJEE is one the dream exam that every engineering aspirant wishes to accomplish with flying colors. The reason- the perfect shape for future.
An exam like no other entrance exams in India, IITJEE explores over a gigantic topic. 3 subjects and 4 years of concentrate material, the structure of the exam is set forth to be cracked by the best of best. The question paper prepared in a format, wherein the most intricate questions that one can expect from a particular subject become the priority one expected question. Also one of the reasons which can easily prove that indeed IITJEE is one among the toughest exams is the burgeoning number of applications for the exam. Lakhs of students appear for the examination, and only about 1% reaches their destination.
According to data, about 11.5 lakhs appeared for the IITJEE in 2018, for total seat strength of only 11279 seats in all the IITs put together. Also, over the competition hovers another arena of competition for procuring a seat in a preferred IIT in one’s preferred subject of choice. However the competition factor of last few couple of years is always on the hike due to a major factor- the increasing number of applications for the exam. One might pretty simply guess the reason of the trend- the brand name, IIT. Each year IIT graduates are acquired by big multibillion companies like Google, Oracle, IBM, Intel, Microsoft etc. A seat in IITs guarantee great job opportunities, high pay package and of course a superb professional future.
The IITJEE, in terms of difficulty defeats the exam like SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) based on its academic toughness. Also several global universities’ entrance exams based on its acceptance rate.
However, analyzing an exam rationally, compared to other engineering exams, IITJEE is not much harder if not for its negative marking system. IITJEE has got negative marking, MCQ; both single and multi correct. Matching the correct answer, integer type, or long-para questions ‘erase’ half of eligible applicants. Those who could pass through this storm are indeed the ‘heroes’ of the IITJEE exam.
IITJEE, even though extremely difficult to crack, however can definitely be cracked as proven by many heroes till now with proper, smart structuring and scheduling of one’s curriculum. If you see yourself getting admission to your dream college, then its time you start your prep right from the start. Also it is always advisable to commence your journey with a companion who can assist you at every level. Preparation for IITJEE requires a great amount of effort, perseverance, a mentor, passion for achievement and of paramount importance a smart preparation strategy. It is a vital point to be familiar with the structure, format, of questions and of the winners to prepare an efficient strategy of one’s own. However, talking about an exam if this vastness, one must definitely be aware of its outlines. The syllabus is indeed tough to cover as it entails all the basic as well as the advanced concepts. The questions asked could or couldn’t be directly from NCERT or any other reference text. The questions are twisted in such a way, uncommon to test your question solving approach and readiness. Logical in the extreme, requires you to be deft with your brain and hands along with your analytical skills at its core. The exam clearly analyze your clarity of concept especially in JEE Advanced. Although unlike CSAT which can explore anything under the blue sky, IITJEE definitely exercise its independence to analyze the candidate in his knowledge of the 3 subjects from any point of the 4 years.
Now as mentioned afore, even though lakhs of students appeared for the exam but only a very few are selected, doesn’t increase the toughness of the exam, instead the competition. However if we do the right research, we can see that lot of students don’t have the aim or passion to clear the exam. Majority of the applicants are not serious about the IITJEE, and might be giving just for the experience of attempting the IITJEE. Which in turn make the competition fierce resulting in lesser number of available seats? Thus we can consider that cracking IITJEE is not an end of world battle for students, also not the syllabus to be blamed for this trend of margin hikes of acceptance, instead the number of candidates should also be considered.
But to say you all student aspirants, any exam is prepared and upgraded by human brains, which means it can be conquered too. There is no exam in the world which cannot be conquered by a human brain. The only factor which differentiates such brains from rest are just the level of perseverance, practice and one’s passion to achieve the dream come true.
All the Best!!
