Students opting for Science in plus two with PCM combination(physics, chemistry, mathematics) want to get admission into the most prestigious institution for engineering in the country – the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). They believe that this will guarantee a prosperous future. Undoubtedly, they are successful and are occupants of the best jobs in India and abroad and are revered for their knowledge and technical know how.

The IIT Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) is conducted by the IIT for admission to the seven IITs (Kanpur, Kharagpur, Delhi, Mumbai, Guwahati, Roorkee, Chennai), IT Varanasi and ISM Dhanbad. It is difficult to crack this exam and all desirous candidates should have the basics on fingertips. The IIT JEE examination consists of two three-hour papers. The papers are divided into three sections each with questions in physics, chemistry and maths. The basis of the questions is the syllabus followed by the CBSE and ISC Boards. The test format is objective type.
Being a master of calculus in mathematics, and mechanics and electromagnetism in physics is a big aid to students. Some of the essential topics that you should concentrate on are Modern Physics and electronics, Wave options, Inorganic chemistry and General chemistry. Also study in depth Solid State, Probability and Differential Equations. Other important and scoring topics are analytical geometry, electricity, mechanics and physical chemistry. A good knowledge of these topics will enable you in answering most of the paper correctly.
It is essential to have clarity in the subjects. All the subjects- physics, chemistry and maths, should be given equal importance. Constant and unrelenting practice and revision is a must. It is best to make a timetable for yourself. This will help devote time for each subject. You require ample time and hard work to crack the IIT JEE.
Hard work should be combined with tact to get through IIT. You must keep in mind that there is negative marking. So avoid answering those that you are unsure of. It is better to get less positive points than earn negative marks. You should answer what you know best first. Then concentrate on the difficult segments. Approach the exam with a positive outlook, cool mind and confident attitude. This will give you an edge over other aspirants.
You may be a master of the subjects, but cracking IIT JEE needs effective guidance as well. It is a good option to enroll into a reputed training institute. They teach you the fundamentals that you may not already know. They do not force you upon studying, but they do motivate you. The trainers educate you on tips to answer the papers in the best possible way. Though this may not be the best way to succeed but it does enhance your chances.
IIT JEE may seem simple to you, but you should realize that most students answer the exam well and only a handful get a call. The competition is treacherous and the number of applicants is sky high. You may miss it by a fraction. So any student who wants to achieve a seat in IIT, start preparing today, exert yourself, forget distractions and with only one goal in mind, appear for the IIT JEE.
