Along With Best Engineering Coaching Follow This JEE 2017 Checklist Too

Cracking Joint Entrance Examination or JEE is the ultimate goal of every aspiring engineer in India. JEE or the Joint Entrance Examination is conducted every year for admissions to premium engineering institutes like IITs, NITs, and IIITs. The screening process is now divided into two phases-

•    JEE Mains
•    JEE Advanced

JEE-Advanced is conducted for admissions to Indian Institutes of Technology(IITs), and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISERs), while the JEE-Mains is meant for admissions to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs).

Aspiring engineering students need to appear for JEE mains and only the students selected in JEE Mains are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.
Preparation for JEE starts a few years in advance. Most students enroll themselves in the best engineering coaching institute at least a year or two before the main exams.

For all those gearing up for JEE 2017, the date of the entrance exam is nearing and the ongoing months are crucial. All the aspiring engineers must be burning the midnight oil already for the D-Day of JEE 2017.

However, amidst last minute preparations, pressure, and stress we advise you not to miss the important JEE 2017 checklist. Hope you are taking notes!

Depending upon preference and comfort, aspiring candidates can appear for pencil and paper based examination or take it online. The dates for both examinations are separate.

•    Pencil & Paper based examination (Paper 1 &2) will be conducted on 2nd April, 2017
•    Computer based test will be conducted on 8th & 9th April 2017.

Another important change this year is the way All India Rank for JEE 2017 exam will be calculated. Up till 2016, class 12th marks were used to calculate the All India ranking in the ratio of 60:40. However, this year onwards CBSE has done away with this rule.

The upcoming 4-5 months are going to be very crucial for every aspiring engineering candidate. The key is to not panic and take one step at a time.  Students who will be appearing for class XII examination, must also concentrate on completing the exam successfully. You have the guidance of some of the best faculty, and best coaching institutes. So just be confident and believe in yourself. Your dreams would sure come true.
