JEE Advanced 2016 Introduction
JEE Advanced 2016 is the second stage of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for
admission to prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Two lakh shortlisted
candidates on the basis of JEE Main 2016 Scores will be eligible to appear in JEE
Advanced. But remember, you can only apply for the coveted entrance exam for a
maximum of 2 times, consecutively. So, if you dont want to miss it, devise a strategy
and work hard.
As you are one of the candidates among the 2 lakh selects for JEE Advanced 2016,
you must remember that 1 out of 20 candidates will be selected for admissions to the
18 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian School of Mines (ISM) Dhanbad.
Therefore, what is most crucial for getting you an entry ticket into one of the IITs, is
your preparation strategy.
Careers360 brings you tips from experts and toppers of JEE Advanced on How to
prepare for JEE Advanced 2016. The E-Book also provides you tips regarding prep-
aration strategy, important books and subject-wise study plan for JEE Advanced.

What exam experts suggest for cracking
JEE Advanced 2016?
When you have one month remaining for the exam, experts suggest you to focus more
on revising the concepts and solving as many questions as possible. Ramesh Batlish,
FIIT JEE Noida, Centre Head says, The most crucial thing about cracking the engi-
neering exam is clarity of concepts and solving problems as many as possible.

Why more practice is needed?
Well that explains it all. Mock tests will play an important role in the last
stages of preparation.
It is imperative for you to take as many mock tests or practice tests to accustom
yourself to the JEE Advanced Paper Pattern as well as revise the topics.
Every mock test will reflect your preparation level and aware you about the
weak points, which further need to be improved.
Schedule your day such that there is place for more than two mock tests.
As you go on doing these practice papers, you will realize there is a method to
all of them and will only improve your preparation levels.

What more need to be taken care of?
You may not be able to complete the whole portion in this month. It doesnt matter.
What matters is to complete a major portion and leave those topics that are new or
relatively unknown to you. Keep a note of all your doubts and get them clarified
regularly. You can take the help of your teachers, friends or seniors for this.
Ramesh Batlish, FIIT JEE Noida, Centre Head shares some of the important topics
for JEE Advanced 2016. He says, While an aspirant should not miss any topic, no
matter how small, there are some most important topics in each subject for the
advanced stage of the coveted engineering exam, which may give you an edge over
others.
The exam expert shares the most important topics, as mentioned below

Mathematics
1. JEE papers of previous years suggest that more attention should be paid to topics
like Vectors and 3-D than Probability or Indefinite integration. Vectors and 3-D
offer very less scope to examiner as far as variety in problem is concerned. Every
year, 2-3 problems are asked directly from Complex Numbers. Hence, mastering
Complex Numbers, Vectors, 3-D and Definite Integral must be top priority.
2. Algebra can be easier for you if you have the ability to picture functions as graphs,
and are good at applying vertical & horizontal origin shifts carefully. Zeroes of
functions and other specific values can be done in lesser time using these
techniques.
3. Differential Calculus again relates well to roots of equations, especially if you use
the Rolles and Lagranges theorems.
4. Complex numbers can be used to solve questions in co-ordinate geometry too.
Trigonometric questions require application of De Moivres theorem.
5.
Permutation Combination and Probability is another very important topic in
Algebra. You need to be thorough with the basics of Bayes theorem, derangements
and various ways of distribution, taking care of cases where objects are identical
and when they are not.
6. Matrices can be related to equations; hence a 3x3 matrix can actually be visualized
as being three-planed in 3D geometry.
7. Integral Calculus can be simplified using tricks and keeping in mind some basic
varieties of integrable functions. Remembering the properties and applying them

wisely saves a lot of time.
8. Coordinate Geometry requires a good working knowledge of parametric forms of
various conic sections and an ability to convert the tougher ones to basic forms,
and then interpret the solutions accordingly.
Chemistry
1. Conceptual clarity, application skills and completion of prescribed syllabus should
be main focus.
2. Practice the important numerical daily to develop speed. Pay special attention to
topics like Mole concept, Chemical Equilibrium and Electrochemistry.
3. Extra attention should be given to Stereochemistry, GOC (General Organic
Chemistry) and Functional Group Analysis.
4. In Inorganic Chemistry, most of the questions are conceptual that are concerned
with structures, processes and applications. Special attention should be given to
Chemical Bonding and Coordination Chemistry.
Physics
1. Mechanics is one topic of Physics that is considered less scoring by most of the
experts. However, this topic also forms the major portion of JEE Advanced in terms
of weightage. So, this topic cannot be neglected.
2. One must also try to concentrate on other scoring topics to ensure a better perfor-
mance, for example, Optics, Electricity & Magnetism, etc.
9 | Engineering
3. Kinematics and Particle Dynamics are very important topics of Mechanics. These
should be practiced properly.
4. According to general trends, Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism are the most
important topics in terms of the number of questions asked in JEE of previous
years.
5. In the decreasing order of weightage, listed below are different topics of Physics
according to their appearance in previous years papers.
Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism (equally important)
Modern Physics
Optics
Heat & Thermodynamics and Waves & Sound
Measurement & Errors
6. Thermodynamics is an important topic of Physics as well as Chemistry. It is wise
to cover Wave Optics first under Optics topic. This is a smaller topic as compared
to Ray Optics, thus quick to cover.
