JEE or the Joint Entrance Examination is an yearly examination conducted in India. In a nationwide competition each student appearing is rewarded with a rank. This rank helps them to enroll in engineering colleges over the country. JEE is predominantly divided into 2 parts, JEE-main and JEE-advanced, both conducted by the CBSE. (Central Board of Secondary Education). While the JEE-Main is applicable for every other Institution The JEE-Advanced exam is only for Indian Institute of Technology or IIT colleges in India.

Paper 2 (Required only for B.Arch. and B.Planning)
Subjects: Mathematics – Part I Aptitude Test – Part II & Drawing Test – Part III
Questions: Objective based questions designed to test Drawing Aptitude of candidate.
Duration: 3 Hours
- Knowing the Coursework:
The coursework is segregated into a span of 3 subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Math. Though it encompasses a massive amount of information it is advisable to not leave anything out. In other words, selective study is highly discouraged. Because the questions that are likely to come in the exam are very extensive and due to their objective nature can arise from any topic. The Coaching Centre you are affiliated with will give you the necessary details on how to proceed.
