Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello,

You should select Jharkhand for the JEE Mains application form because you will be reappearing in the exam as a private candidate in Jharkhand. The state you will be appearing in and your passing year are what you should fill in your JEE Mains application form, but not your 12th class state.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello Aspirant

If you want to get into IIT for AI Engineering, then you should definitely choose Pure Mathematics in Class 11–12. Applied Maths won’t help in JEE because IIT entrance exams use advanced math concepts. Pure Maths will build your problem-solving skills and cover everything needed for JEE Main and Advanced. It also prepares you better for AI, Data Science, and Coding in college. So for your dream of AI engineering at IIT, Pure Maths is the right and safest choice.

That's an excellent resource for targeted, efficient practice!

The JEE Main Chapter-Wise Previous Year Questions (PYQs) is one of the most effective study tools because it allows you to:

  1. Identify High-Weightage Areas: Pinpoint chapters frequently tested in previous exams.

  2. Understand Pattern: Master the specific style and depth of questions asked by NTA.

  3. Improve Speed & Accuracy: Practice time management by solving questions sequentially.

You can download the PDF containing these essential chapter-wise questions (organized by Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) right here: https://engineering.careers360.com/download/ebooks/jee-main-chapter-wise-pyqs . Start integrating these into your daily study plan

Hi there,

You should take pure mathematics if you want to pursue AI engineering at IIT after JEE, because the syllabus of JEE Advanced is based on pure mathematics, so it will help you to have a strong base foundation in the concepts. You can perform well in your exam.

Hope it helps!!!
