Are you preparing for the JEE 2024? Then you must go through this article. It can help you in your JEE preparation.

Will JEE 2024 be Tough or Easy?

The exact answer to this question is not possible. But with the analysis of the last few year’s questions and the increasing number of applicants every year we can say that the JEE 2024 exam is going to be tough. The competition is increasing every year. In the year 2023 around 11 lakh students appeared for the JEE exam and only a few of them passed the exam.

As a JEE aspirant, it is not a matter of worry for you as the ranking in the JEE exam depends on the relative performance of the students. If the JEE exam is tough, the cut-off for the exam will fluctuate according to the number of passing students.  

Never be intimidated by a difficult JEE exam. It applies to all JEE aspirants equally. Your performance on the exam day is what counts. The exam goes better for those who maintain their composure. There is no such strategy that can help you prepare for a tough exam. Since everything is relative, don’t get upset if you are having trouble with a few questions. The difficulty of the paper affects everyone equally, and vice versa. Performance relative to others is all that counts.

Factors that Suggest JEE 2024 will be a Tougher Exam:

Several factors indicate that JEE Main 2024 may be a tougher examination compared to previous years. Let’s have a look at these factors:

1.  Evolving Exam Pattern

JEE Main was administered by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) until 2020. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been in charge ever since. The exam structure has changed as a result of shifting leadership. Future tests might examine students through changes in exam patterns. This might be because the last few years saw an addition of numerical value questions (NVQs) and a larger focus on application-based reasoning. 

2. Increasing Competition

The number of JEE applicants is increasing every year making the environment more competitive. Therefore selecting the best and most deserving candidates out of the increasing pool of applicants in the exam has become extremely challenging.

3. Curriculum Changes

The JEE curriculum has been updated to align with the change in the board course.  These modifications could potentially introduce more complex and in-depth topics. Thus making the exam tougher. 

4. Advanced Problem Solving

The intellectual level of the student is increasing with the advanced problem-solving techniques. Thereby, the JEE difficulty level is also advancing to necessitate a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts. This makes the question paper of JEE even tougher.

5. Exam Pattern

The JEE exam is composed of different types of questions including single correct answer, multiple correct answers, and match the following. This diversity in question is a challenge in front of students.

The most important stage for individuals getting ready for the JEE 2024 exam is starting their preparations far in advance. Starting early gives plenty of time to adequately prepare for the test. Enrolling in a reputed JEE coaching institute is the most effective way to prepare for the JEE exam. Such coaching offers well-structured programs that ensure your success in the JEE exam.
