The best way to get familiar with JEE Mains paper pattern is to solve sample papers for the exam as well as go through previous years’ question papers for the entrance exam.

Recently, an important discussion was underway about JEE Mains paper. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) was planning to conduct JEE Mains twice in 2018 – once in February and again in April. Engineering aspirants would be allowed to take both the exams and the best score of the two can be used for ranking students for the next step in admission procedure. The CBSE reasoned that this would give students a second chance to improve their scores in JEE Mains and make it to JEE Advanced. The proposal to that effect was put on the table at a meeting of the Joint Entrance Examination Apex body on September 17, 2017.

However, there were technical problems inherent in the proposal. February JEE Mains exam would clash with the board exams of students. Besides, students of boards other than CBSE, will have to separately prepare for portions of the CBSE syllabus for the first of the JEE Mains twin tests. The CBSE assured that it would make sure that the date of the JEE Mains exam does not clash with any board exam in India but the pressure of an extra exam can prove too much for many students.

Thus, the IIT apex body down the CBSE’s proposal and decided that the JEE Mains paper pattern will remain as it is for the next year. This came as a relief to IIT aspirants, who already have three types of exams to prepare for – board exams, JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. However, aspirants of other institutes such as NITs and IIITs lost out an opportunity to get second chance and improve their scores.
