With NTA’s decision to conduct the JEE Main exam twice a year students now have one more chance to  enhance their performance and thus, more students are now expecting to be eligible for JEE Advanced test.  As many as 2,24,000 students will be declared eligible to appear in JEE Advanced examination this time. 

To be organised by IIT Roorkee, this year JEE Advanced will have both the papers in computer-based mode. There being no changes in the pattern of the exam, the time duration allotted to each paper remains three hours with objective type questions from physics, chemistry and mathematics with equal weightage. However, students need to go through instructions very carefully for negative marks in some of the questions. It is, thus, advised to practise as many online mock tests/past papers as possible. The following tips will help students prepare well for the JEE Advanced 2019:  

Subject wise tips

Mathematics

  • As per the previous trends, vectors and 3-D require more attention than probability and indefinite integration. Every year 2-3 questions from complex numbers are asked. So complex numbers, 3 D, Definite integral should be revised thoroughly compared to other topics.
  • Algebra can be made easier if you have a great practice of functions and have perfected applying vertical and horizontal origin shifts.
  • Differential Calculus again deals with roots of equations, especially if you use the Rolle's and Lagrange's theorems.
  • Complex numbers can be used to solve questions from coordinate geometry. Trigonometric questions require applications of De Moivre's theorem.
  • Permutation - combination/ Probability are linked topics of Algebra. You need to be thorough with Bayes theorem, taking care of the objects which are identical, and which are different.
  • Matrices can be related to equations. 3*3 matrices matrix can be actually seen as being planned in 3D Geometry. Determinants have nice properties, for instance, the ability to break them in columns and rows, which could be exploited in tough questions.

Chemistry

  • While preparing for the chemistry section, the students must keep in mind two things, concept clarity, and application skills.
  • Practice the numerical questions on a daily basis. The special attention should be given to concepts like the mole concept, Chemical Equilibrium, Electrochemistry.
  • Organic chemistry requires careful approach and special attention should be given to Stereochemistry, Functional Group Analysis, GOC (General organic Chemistry)
  • In inorganic chemistry, the questions asked are mostly conceptual, concerned with structures, processes, and applications.  Chemical bonding and coordination chemistry require extra attention.

Physics

  • Mechanics is one topic which is relatively less scoring but as per the experts this topic contributes majorly in terms of marks so, this topic cannot be neglected.
  • One must try to concentrate on scoring topics like optics, electricity, and magnetism.
  • Kinematics & Particle dynamics are important topics that are frequently asked in the JEE Advanced exam.
  • Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism are some topics having made a regular appearance in JEE Advanced exam in terms of the number of questions.
  • Thermodynamics is important in both terms of physics and chemistry so concentrate well on this.

Speed and accuracy: One of the most important aspects is rigorous practice. Aspirants are advised to practice as many problems, and questions from the previous years/ attempt online test series for improving speed and accuracy. Both speed and accuracy matter to enhance your score with competitive edge.

Cover the complete syllabus: As most of the topics would have been covered by aspirants, it is advised to thoroughly go through the complete syllabus of JEE Advanced. It is advisable to avoid selective study and to cover entire syllabus but from past experience, students are advised to lay emphasis on following chapters/topics in the three subjects.


Quick Tips for the D-Day

  • Remember to read all the instructions on question paper carefully.
  • Start with subject in order of your comfort level to maximize attempted questions with not more than 45 minutes on each subject.
  • Use last 45 minutes to solve balance questions in second attempt and for revision.
  • Do not spend more than a minute on any question if you find that you are not nearing solution. Go to next question.
  • Do not guess if you are not sure in a question with negative marks assigned to it.
  • Must attempt and even guess all questions which do not carry negative marks.
  • Just go and give your best.
  • It is the relative performance that counts, give your best shot and you will ace JEE  Advanced.
