Commonly asked questions
Q:   Can someone provide AEEE entrance question papers?
A: 

AEEE previous year question papers are not released by the Universiry on the website. However, candidates can check some sample papers/model papers and a few previous year question papers collected here. Solving previous years’ papers helps students to get accustomed to the marking scheme,  AEEE exam pattern, types of questions, weightage of chapters, etc. Students also get an idea of recurring topics over the years. This way aspirants can have an idea about the questions most likely to appear in the AEEE.

Q:   Can you provide some tips to crack AEEE?
A: 

The AEEE is a fairly easy exam as compared to JEE main / Advanced or any other all India entrance test. Good knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics from NCERT text books should sail you to a good score in the same. For additional help, you can search for sample question papers of the previous years online and solve the same, to be able to face a simulation before you actually perform in the hall.

Q:   How to score well in AEEE?
A: 
  • Refer to Previous Years Question Papers and Attempt Mock Tests: The full proof method to score well in AEEE is to practice a lot of questions. Previpous year question papers, mock tests and sample papers are the best way to get access to questions. Solving questions will lead to improved speed and accuracy.
  • Solve As Many Numerical Problems as Possible: AEEE exam focuses on testing the candidates comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability. The questions asked in the three subjects of Physics Chemistry and Mathematics are of advanced level and focus on the application of the concepts rather than the concepts themselves.
  • Keep Track of Strengths and Weaknesses: For scoring perfect marks, candidates must be prepared perfectly as well. This means keeping an eye on their strengths and weaknesses and trying to avoid making the same mistake twice. Errors occur when one is unsure of himself/herself, and uncertainty is the last thing any candidate would want while attempting questions in the exam.
  • Set Daily Targets: Setting daily targets serves two purposes. One, the entire syllabus is divided into short-term goals that need to be achieved daily, and two, the focus of the students remains unwavering until the long-term goal is achieved.
  • Develop a Subject-wise Study Plan: Different students have varied levels of command over different subjects. Someone may be good at Physics and Mathematics and need more effort in Chemistry or the other way round.

With  this rank around 10177 in AEEE, getting core CSE in slab 1 may be difficult because CSE seats usually close at better ranks. However, you may still have chances for CSE specializations or ECE depending on seat availability and counselling rounds.
