My Teaching Style

For best comprehension, I like to divide my session into two parts:

Learning Using Specially Created Content. I use my own training content which has been specially prepared keeping the needs of students in mind. I focus upon clearing the basics of the subject first before moving on. Detailed explanations provided in a easy to understand manner forms the key to understanding.

Solving problems based on topics covered. At the end of each session I go over the quizzes on the topic with the student which ensures correct assimilation by the student and any gaps in knowledge are clarified. I also provide Chemistry Quizzes for JEE (Advanced) Chemistry Exam which students can attempt in their own time and discuss with me during the sessions.


About JEE Advanced Exam

IIT JEE advanced exam is the next step after the IIT JEE mains exam. Students scoring a minimum of 75% marks and above in the Main exam are the only ones allowed to apply. This exam is the ultimate test for every aspiring engineer. Students who manage to get good scores in this exam are granted entry into IIT coourses and other prestigous institutions such as IISTs, ISMs and more.


JEE (Advanced) Chemistry Grades

The IIT JEE chemistry exam is divided into 2 separate tests. Chemistry is an integral part in both tests. Both tests have chemistry, physics and biology as their subjects. Out of the three, chemistry has the highest number of questions and marks allotted.

Subject paper 1 marks paper 2 marks
Chemistry 32 32
Physics 15 18
Mathematics 15 12

The Exam


The JEE (Advanced) exam has 2 tests

Each test of the IITJEE advanced exam is 3 hours long. the number of questions for each subject vary for each test. The student is reuired to perform well in both tests to gain meaningful merit.



Details Physics Chemistry Mathematics
No of questions 5 8 5
Marks per question 3 4 3
Negative Marking -1 -2 0

JEE Exam Calculator Policy

The use of calculators in strictly prohibited in the IIT JEE advanced exam. we highlly recommend learning and remember essential values and conversions to avoid roadblocks related to calculators.
