Every year, thousands of aspirants start preparing for JEE with enthusiasm, motivation & a huge number of written notes. By mid-way through the JEE preparation journey, many students get overwhelmed. Not because of the impossibility of passing the JEE; rather they didn’t follow a structure for their study.
The JEE isn’t a simple examination, but rather is formed out of a systematic process developed by the National Testing Agency to measure clarity, discipline and long-term consistency in your preparation. If you’re preparing for Architecture or Planning through Paper 2A or Paper 2B, you have more specific strategies to develop so that you can perform well in the JEE.
Your study plan is developed by establishing a clear direction, not necessarily based on long hours of study.
Although many students will put forth their effort in preparing to study every day, only a small percentage of students actually prepare properly.
Preparing yourself for the JEE involves:
Understanding exactly what to study
Understanding specifically what needs to be ignored
Completing exam-type questions
Consistently working on your weaknesses
Testing yourself regularly
This is where Kubo Architecture’s guiding mentorship will prove useful. Our students are not left to flounder as they try to figure this out on their own, but they will have a defined path to follow through a structured academic program that is tailored for aspiring students who are studying for JEE Paper 2.
Students aspiring to Architecture and Planning fields should have a strong mathematical background, however, this alone is not enough to be successful. Drawing ability, spatial awareness, ability to visualize and understand concepts related to planners are equally important.
Many students make the mistake of delaying drawing practice until they are almost ready to take the exam; they then find themselves needing to practice but feeling rushed because time is limited for speed as well as quality on the JEE Paper 2A exam. That's why Kubo Architecture incorporates drawing practice into its programs on an ongoing basis from the first day of class. Students work on perspective, composition, proportion, and visualization throughout the course rather than just occasionally so that they can develop their creative side under pressure (time limits) during the exam.
For Planning students (i.e., Paper 2B), they need to be able to understand and have a clear understanding of urban concepts, infrastructure basics, and use logical reasoning when answering questions as these skills will be essential to their success in the exam. Additionally, having structure to their preparation will help ensure that all of their studying aligns with the exam structure and therefore, they will not be studying randomly or haphazardly but rather will be studying in a systematic and planned manner.
A study plan without testing is deficient.
After you identify areas for development, true progress occurs. For that reason, proper exam preparation incorporates:
Dedicated testing by section
Full-length mock exams
Reviewing results from mock exams
Speed assessment
Mock testing at Kubo Architecture is more than just an occurrence; it incorporates discussion between students and teachers. As students analyze their lost points, they improve from this experience. Small group sizes allow each student to receive individual attention, which typically diminishes when students are taught in larger facilities.
This ongoing process of evaluating performance develops a student’s exam-related disposition.
A prevalent fallacy is that JEE top-ranked applicants study for 15 hours each day; this is inaccurate; what really matters is the consistency of preparation over time (months).
An example of a balanced daily preparation schedule may include:
With focused mathematics
Aptitude problems
Drawing or planning sessions
Time for revision
Weekly mock exam analysis
The students at Kubo Architecture have the advantage of having a defined plan of study, which prevents wasting months of time determining when to start studying. Recorded instructional videos allow students to continue their study (without losing the validity of their instruction) if they are unable to attend a class on that day.
Having a methodical plan of study facilitates consistent preparation.
If you are looking forward to applying to elite institutes such as the renowned Indian Institute of Technology in Architecture via Advanced, or through Paper 2 to a leading NIT, you are facing an extremely competitive environment.
The distinction between selected candidates and other candidates does not solely rely on a student’s level of intelligence, but also includes the following factors: comfort with exam environment; speed of drawing; understanding of concepts; ability to manage time strategically; and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
Kubo Architecture gives equal importance to each of these aspects and provides more than just meeting the syllabus for an exam; they create experiences that help prepare the students for the actual exam environment.
The JEE exam preparation can be long and the student’s motivation can vary throughout the preparation. Due to this long period, students experience periods of uncertainty, doubt and lack of self-confidence in their ability to do well in the mock tests.
Having the right academic climate in place plays a major role in preventing student burnout. Kubo Architecture makes sure each classroom has a small number of students so that the teachers can develop an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each student in the class. Kubo Architecture provides individual mentoring, structured opportunities to create doubt, as well as a way to track their progress on a regular basis, thereby providing accountability for their progress towards their goal. Kubo has developed a reputation as being an exam-oriented institute due to its 99% success rate.
Not only do students receive coaching at Kubo Architecture, they also receive strategic guidance.
A JEE study plan is more than a single document, it is something you put into practice every day by following strict guidelines.
A successful JEE examination isn't achieved through chance or random efforts. Instead, it comes from:
planning your lessons
continually improving your knowledge
providing specific training
providing a long-term relationship
Students looking to become architects and planners will find choosing their mentors can have a significant impact on their success. However, with a method of structured preparation, personalized mentorship, recorded academic assistance and Paper 2 training, Kubo Architecture has developed a clear path for any serious applicant.
JEE is very competitive. However, once your plan is created and you are working with the appropriate mentor/s and resources, it is possible for you to achieve your goals.
If you are clear on what you want to achieve. You must also be very clear about how you will achieve it.
