Entry into NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) requires thorough preparation as both are premier institutes and require high standards of education. However, the approach towards their admission process and entrance exams is quite different in so many ways, affecting a student’s preparation strategy.
Understanding the exam pattern
In NITs: There is admission based purely on JEE Main that measures the candidate’s knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics. The emphasis is on precision, time management and core concepts.
In IITs: Admission is through clearing the gateway of JEE Advanced after attaining qualification in JEE Main. JEE Advanced has a higher level of toughness along with more emphasis on having conceptual clarity, the usage of knowledge, and problem-solving capabilities.
The core syllabus is the same for both of these tests, which is mostly based on Classes 11 and 12. However, JEE Advanced includes many confusing questions or multi-concept questions which require intensive thought and imagination.
Do you need specialised preparation?
Not really; however, the student is required to make changes for JEE Advanced:
– Conceptual Extent: JEE Advanced requires a deeper understanding of concepts as compared to JEE Main. For instance, topics like mechanics in physics or organic chemistry require an advanced level of understanding.
– Problem Solving Skills: Unlike JEE Main, wherein problem-solving requires straightforward, JEE Advanced requires solving complicatedly connected problems.
– Question Pattern: JEE Advanced includes types like matrix match, integer-type answers, and passage-based questions, which are not there in JEE Main. Familiarize yourself with these formats.
– Mock Tests and Time Management: JEE Advanced tests endurance and time allocation due to its extensive question paper. Taking mock tests specifically designed for JEE Advanced is important.
For those who are targeting NITs, preparation till JEE Main level is enough. Those aiming at IITs must look after the advanced-level content besides JEE Main.
Things to remember
Curriculum Covered: Stick strictly to the NCERT syllabus for both exams. For JEE Advanced, supplement your reading with other books for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
Practice is Key: Practice with previous years’ question papers for both JEE Main and Advanced to get an idea of the patterns and level of difficulty.
Time Management: Acquire the art of time management in preparation and during exams. Manage your time sensibly across the subjects and topics.
Strategic Revision: The strategies of revision vary slightly. For JEE Main, it is more of breadth-based revision. In the case of JEE Advanced, it is depth-based in core areas.
Mock Tests: Keep on attempting online and offline mock tests for both the exams to acquire accuracy and confidence.
Health and Consistency: Healthy and consistent routine with proper sleep and diet and breaks for working long hours.
It doesn’t need completely different strategies but rather strategies suited to each. A base for both is essential but the aspiring IITians would need to be much more advanced, so far as the concepts and questions go. If disciplined preparations and appropriate time management along with resources can help a candidate attain success in JEE Main, the same could easily help to gain success in JEE Advanced. Be smart and consistent towards success in these great institutions.
