CAN SOMEONE STUDY IN A COLLEGE AND STILL TAKE THE JEE ADVANCED EXAM AS A DROPPER?

First of all, according to your question, you mean that can someone study in a college and still appear for JEE Advanced as a dropper student and get a seat in any IIT based on his/her rank? So the answer to your question is Yes.

According to the eligibility criteria of JEE Advanced, which is the only way to get into the IITs, one can appear for JEE Advanced and can get a seat in any IIT based on his/her rank only if he had not taken a seat in any of the 23 IITs previously subject to fulfilling the other eligibility criteria apart from this. In simple words, if you are eligible for JEE Advanced and also not enrolled in any IIT, then you can definitely take the JEE Advanced exam as a dropper.

One of my junior’s coaching teacher at Resonance landed in NIT Kurukshetra after two years of JEE preparation but he always wanted to be an IITian and so during his first year at NIT Kurukshetra (NITKKR), he prepared again for JEE, cleared the exam and got admission in IIT Roorkee.

So if you are a college student, not from any IIT but eligible for JEE Advanced and want to give it a try, then you should definitely go for it. But in this case, you must prepare with full dedication and determination during your first year so that you don’t end up wasting your one year at your present college.

Hope this helps you. Thank you for reading!

Thank you!

WHICH IIT IS KNOWN TO SET THE TOUGHEST JEE ADVANCED PAPER TILL NOW?

WHAT IS THE FIRST YEAR SYLLABUS AT IIT BOMBAY?

In IIT Bombay, the first-year syllabus is almost the same for all the students irrespective of their department. The first-year course of IIT Bombay is as follows: 1st Semester: MA 105 - Calculus (This course comprises of both Differential as well as Integral Calculus. This is that one course which makes students suffer a lot in the first semester. In 1st year, everywhere there is a buzz about MA 105. It is like a nightmare for quite a lot of students. But if you study properly, you'll easily score well. Till midsem, I had 24/60 but then before endsem, the head professor said that the grading will be done on best-of (Insem + Endsem) or (2 x Endsem). Since till midsem (“till midsem” means insem which comprises of quizzes and midsem exam), I had already screwed up in this course because of fear created by the buzz everywhere and so for the endsems, I decided to knock it because I had a golden chance to do it due to the new grading policy announced by the head prof and yes, I did it. ...

WHAT ARE THOSE SPECIFIC TOPICS THAT ARE THERE IN JEE MAIN SYLLABUS BUT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN JEE ADVANCED SYLLABUS?

Image
There is a list of chapters, questions from that are only asked in JEE Main and hence they are called JEE Main Topics. These topics are Statistics, Mathematical Reasoning, Height and Distance, Mathematical Induction, Sets and Relations. While analyzing the previous year's papers, what I’ve seen is that one question from each of the aforementioned topics does come in JEE Main. So don’t forget to revise and practice the JEE Main Topics. Below is a tentative prediction on what type of questions can come from JEE Main Topics in JEE Main: Statistics - Questions Based Either On Variance or SD or Mean or Median or Mode (Most Frequently Asked For Simple Data) Mathematical Reasoning - Questions Based On Connectives And Truth Table Like Identifying Contradiction, Tautology, Equivalence And Negation/Contrapositive/Inverse/Converse of A Connective Height And Distance - The Regular Questions Asking Heights And Distances (Mostly of 10th Level) Mathematical Induction - I Personally Have Never Se...
