Why is the JEE Main conducted?

JEE Main is India's coveted engineering exam and stands at the top list of some of the most toughest exams in the world. The objective of the entrance exam is to shortlist candidates for JEE advanced, who are then eventually shortlisted for IITs across India. Also those candidates who cannot get into the India Institute of Technology (IITs) despite scoring big, become automatically eligible for other colleges of private institutions. Some top colleges also accept JEE Main Score and admit students based on this.

30 Chapters to Score 180+ Marks in JEE Mains: Recommended Study Materials

Although students might have their study materials sorted, however here just a heads up -

  • For Physics refer to H.C. Verma Concepts of Physics.
  • For Chemistry Line-by-line reading of NCERT Class 11 & 12 for Inorganic and Organic sections is a must
  • For Mathematics there is nothing better than R.D. Sharma.
