  • 😀 Even top students in school, who score 90% or more in 10th grade, may not be able to make it into IITs.
  • 😀 Thousands of students give the JEE exam every year, but only a few thousand secure seats in top institutions like IITs, NITs, and IIITs.
  • 😀 The preparation for JEE requires immense dedication, smart work, and obsession with studying the subjects at hand.
  • 😀 JEE is not an exam that can be cleared passively; it requires consistent, focused effort, often for 10–12 hours a day over multiple years.
  • 😀 Top ranks in JEE require extremely high levels of mental capacity, quick problem-solving, and a deep understanding of the syllabus.
  • 😀 Success in JEE is not guaranteed just by enrolling in coaching or pretending to be serious about the preparation.

  • 😀 If you’re not fully committed to JEE preparation, it's better to consider other options rather than deluding yourself into thinking you will make it.

Q & A

  • Why do some students not need to prepare for the JEE exam?

    -Not every student is suited for JEE preparation. The script highlights that many students who perform well in school (with good marks like 90% in 10th grade) may not have the right dedication or mindset to succeed in JEE, which requires extreme hard work, dedication, and focus.

  • What are the chances of getting into IIT or top engineering colleges?

    -The script emphasizes that while many students aim for IIT, the reality is that only a few top performers make it. In small towns, only a few students might get into IIT, and in larger cities, the competition is even more intense. Even among the top 10 lakh students who appear for JEE, only around 1000 students will secure seats in prestigious institutions.

  • What does it take to succeed in the JEE exam?

    -Success in JEE requires a combination of dedication, hard work, and intelligence. It involves deep obsession with the subjects, consistent study, and mastering complex concepts. The exam is very challenging and requires years of intense preparation, typically 10 to 12 hours of study every day for two years.

  • How hard is the JEE exam compared to school exams?

    -The JEE exam is significantly more difficult than typical school exams. Even top students who excel in school may struggle with JEE because it requires a different level of focus, understanding, and effort. The syllabus is vast, and the competition is fierce, with only a few thousand students securing top ranks.

  • What role does obsession and discipline play in JEE preparation?

    -Obsession and discipline are crucial. The script explains that the students who succeed in JEE are those who have a relentless focus on their studies, spending long hours daily mastering every concept. It’s not just about studying but being completely immersed in the preparation with consistent discipline.

  • Is it easy to underestimate the difficulty of JEE?

    -Yes, the script points out that it’s easy for students who have never attempted the exam or those from non-science backgrounds (like arts or commerce) to underestimate its difficulty. Once they experience the exam firsthand, they realize how challenging and competitive it truly is.

  • Why do many people, even those from smaller towns, think they can easily crack JEE?

    -This is often due to overconfidence or ignorance. Many students, especially from small towns, may think that just because they scored well in school, they can easily crack JEE. However, the exam requires far more than school-level knowledge—it demands strategic thinking, problem-solving, and consistent effort over a long period.

  • How does the script advise students who may not have the dedication for JEE?

    -For students who are not fully dedicated or committed to JEE preparation, the script advises them to reconsider their approach. Instead of wasting time, they should focus on other career options like pursuing a degree in local or state-level colleges or preparing well for board exams. JEE is not for everyone, and it’s better to pursue an alternative path than waste time on a goal that’s unlikely to be achieved.

  • What is the importance of mental preparation for JEE?

    -Mental preparation is just as important as physical preparation. Students need to mentally prepare themselves for the level of intensity required to succeed in JEE. They must be ready for setbacks, long hours of study, and the kind of deep focus that will allow them to master all three subjects required for the exam.

  • What is the role of social media in the context of JEE preparation?

    -The script warns against being distracted by social media and the toxic advice people may give on these platforms. While many people may claim that IITs or JEE don’t matter, the reality is that JEE requires immense focus, and the success stories of top performers are far from easy. Social media can create delusions, and students should avoid falling for such distractions.
