]]>Joint Entrance Examination or JEE is a nation level (All- India) Engineering Entrance Examination. It qualifies candidates for IIT, NIT, IIIT and Government aided engineering colleges across the country. Two different examinations make up the test: JEE Main and JEE Advanced.
The test was perceived and conducted in the year 1960 for the first time. It was named Common Entrance Exam (CEE), later it was re-named as JEE (Joint Entrance Exam). It is also one of the most popular engineering entrance examinations of the nation.

The mode of the exam is online/computer-based so a candidate has to understand the computer. JEE is one of the toughest exams globally. JEE Main is the equivalent as that of AIEEE and JEEAdvanced is the same as that of IIT JEE.
A lot of hard work and commitment is required to crack this exam. The purpose behind such craze is because of the secure future, better job opportunities, and a better package. So getting into IIT is a hard job but life will be good after getting an engineering degree from such a prestigious institute.
JEE is very important if you need a career in engineering and not at all important if you choose the other professional line. JEE is extremely significant because it will open up a lot of career options for you. You will have a brand tag of IIT associated with you always throughout your life. It is the most important exam in India for those students who want to pursue engineering degrees after class 12. Admission in most engineering colleges in India is made based on the JEE mains score. A standard of engineering college is judged by seeing the JEE mains score.
Those who qualify the JEE Main exam will be eligible to seek admission in some of the top colleges as these institutions accept the scores of the exam. Those who qualify JEE Main will further be eligible to appear for the second round of the exam which is JEE Advanced. Those who finally get success in JEE Advanced will get admission in the IITs.
The difficulty level of the exam is increasing every year and the number of candidates attempting for the exam is also increasing every year. More than 12 lakh aspirants appear every year for a total of 11000 seats in 23 different IITs.

]]>Most researchers find that frequents tests can boost learning. So, let us learn about the importance of mock tests.
]]>As per research, students who continuously take tests, are better at retrieving their study material than others. Rather than repeatedly studying the same thing, it better use it in a practical scenario, which forces students to make connections with facts.
Researchers believe that constant mugging up gives students an illusion of their know-how, whereas constant tests help them with better analysis and learning. As per them, when the student has practiced retrieval; over and over again, they tend to remember everything better, because #PracticeMakesPerfect.
Several cognitive scientists are of the opinion, that giving regular mock tests, helps students with their cognitive abilities. It reconstructs their knowledge, and organizes the flow of the learning, in a way that makes sense to them.
