WBJEE 2024 Preparation tips

Here are some tips and tricks that can make your WBJEE preparation easier.

Making of the study plan

  • When preparing for WBJEE, the first thing to do is to develop a learning schedule.
  • By making a study plan, you will be able to allocate time for each topic accordingly. This will make your learning more planned and consistent.
  • One of the most important things to remember when preparing a study plan is to mix up the topics in between to break the monotony.
  • Give yourself enough time for revision and simulation testing.
  • When doing all your studies, remember to allocate some time to relax and engage in extracurricular activities.

Practice constantly

When preparing for WBJEE, an essential step is to practice consistently. Once you develop the habit of persistently practicing, you will get used to all types of questions raised in the exam, which will in turn enhance your self-confidence.

Familiarize yourself with your Syllabus

  • Another task that must be completed in the early stages of preparation is to check and understand the entire official syllabus.
  • Through the syllabus you will be able to know the topics that will be asked in the exam, which will help you plan your studies.
  • By focusing on these topics, you will be able to spend more time on the topics with greater importance. By familiarizing yourself with the syllabus, you can gain huge advantages.

Coaching vs Self Study

Each student reaches their full potential under different circumstances. Go though the pros and cons of coaching vs self study to figure out the best plan for you.

Coaching

  • Pros
    • Structure provided to the preparation process by experts in the field
    • Easy medium to solve doubts
    • Most coaching centres conduct their own mock tests
  • Cons
    • You may become dependent on coaches instead of trying to find solutions on your own
    • The pace of coaching institutes might not be suited to everybody

Self Study

  • Pros
    • You can study at your own pace
    • You can allocate time to your preparations which is tailored to your needs
    • You learn to tackle problems on your own, thus getting a clearer understanding of the concepts
  • Cons
    • If you are stuck with something, you can’t avail the help of a professional coach
    • You have to make your own structured timetable and stick to it without any external motivation

Time Management

  • Time management is an important skill that must be acquired in any exam. Most students usually complain about insufficient time for finishing exams.
  • Since each paper only provides 2 hours, you need to be agile and smart while managing your answering time.
  • Practicing time management will be very helpful because if you manage to complete the entire paper before the end of the time, you will automatically be better off than most of the other candidates.
  • This will give you time to quickly revise what you answered.
  • To understand the required pace, try mock tests and follow the official time limit of the test. This will allow you to know and practice attempting a paper within a timeframe.

First attempt what you already know

  • A good rule of thumb while attempting papers, if to first tackle the questions which are easy for you.
  • This will not only boost your confidence, but also help you save a lot of time.
  • Do this even while practicing at home. It will give you a better idea of your strengths and weaknesses, which you can then work on balancing.

Maintain physical and mental balance

Many students neglect their physical fitness when preparing for entrance exams, which may lead to a decline in academic performance. Therefore, exercising every day and maintaining a good sleep schedule and eating well are the keys to keeping your mind and body ready for the exam.

 

Cut off

The exam conducting authority will release the cutoff of WBJEE along with the seat allotment result. The WBJEE cutoff 2024 is the minimum mark or rank required to get admission to various engineering, and architecture, courses in colleges and universities in West Bengal. The cutoff marks depend on various factors like several candidates, seat availability, the difficulty level of the exam, and the previous year cutoff trends. The WBJEE cutoff list will include the opening and closing ranks of WBJEE participating institutes. Candidates have to qualify for the cutoff of WBJEE to participate in the counselling and admission process. The candidates who have appeared for Paper 2 only and scored above the cutoff only then they will be allotted a Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR). Moreover, if the aspirant has appeared for Paper 1 and Paper 2 and scored above the cutoff mark will get General Merit Rank (GMR) and PMR both.
