Is class 12 too late to start preparing for JEE

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is one of the hardest and most demanding entrance tests, serving as a gateway to highly esteemed engineering institutions like the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and the National Institute of Technology (NIT’s).

The rigorous competition and comprehensive curriculum, many students start preparing as early as class 9 or 10, or even sooner. However, not every student begins start their preparation early until class 12, leading to rising question if it’s too late to start preparation for their JEE journey.

Pros of starting preparation of JEE in class 12:

1. Recency of Knowledge- Class 12 students find it easier to build on their knowledge from class 11, as the concepts remain fresh in the mind of students. Facilitating a stronger grasp and deeper understanding of new concepts.

2. Focused and rigorous preparation- A late start brings a sense of urgency, prompting students to be more concentrated and thorough in their learning.  

3. Sustaining motivation- Starting preparation in class 12 can help avoid prolonged study sessions that students who start earlier often experience, which leads to burnout. By focusing on shorter, more focused effort, students can lessen the exhaustion and conserve energy.

4. Clear objectives- By the time they reach class 12, they are clear on their goals and objectives. This clarity motivates students to study harder, enabling them to prepare more efficiently and effectively to pass the JEE with success.

Obstacles may arise at the beginning of JEE preparation, but it’s not impossible to overcome them. Adopting well-thought-out plan, effective time management and sustained focus is essential to overcome these challenges. Cracking the JEE demands unwavering dedication but with right mindset and determination. Ultimately the success of JEE relies on the efforts, well-structured plan, right mindset and effective execution.
