The JEE Advisory Board made changes in the IIT JEE pattern in 2006. These changes were made due to the following problems with the old pattern:
The 2nd stage examination (Mains) was of much higher difficulty level than Class XI/XII
This required students to prepare for school and ‘IIT JEE coaching’, separately.
Students could not cope up with the dual pressure of school’ and ‘IIT JEE preparation’
Some students neglected their Class XI/XII studies in trying to keep up their preparation for IITJEE. This caused irreparable damage to their careers.
Most students started dropping an year or more after Class XII to prepare for IIT JEE. Over 70% in 2005, who cracked IITJEE had dropped an year or more.
This led to emergence of destinations like Kota. Here students did rote learning, continuously for log hours to crack IIT JEE.
IITs were not happy with the profile of the students who were joining them since the kota phenomenon started. The students from Kota were not very keen on learning. They were burnt out and exhausted under the Kota system. They were not faring very well in IITs.
Kota system also undermines the importance and utility of the school system. In Kota, students who join in Class XI/XII don’t go to schools. They get proxy attendance.
In IITJEE 2006, JAB made the changes in the pattern to deal with these problems. These changes have made a tremendous impact on the admission patterns. Now, almost 70% of the students who get through, are 1st timers. In the new pattern, it is advisable to prepare along with Class XI & XII.
Students cant afford to neglect school studies or drop an year.
Only genuinely good students, who have a flair for PCM get through IIT JEE

These efforts were extremely successful.
1. The number of people going to Kota has reduced dramatically.
2. Coaching institutes had to change the entire course and methodology to suit the new pattern.
3. They started offering tuition for school along with IIT JEE coaching.
4. Most students now prepare along with Class XI – XII

After the planning has been done, we should keep a track of the work done.
Measuring our work in this manner will give us a sense of achievement on a regular basis. This will also give us a continuous view of the work that is remaining.
We have pasted, for the benefit of the students, a saI didmple checklist or activity trakcer.
Students realize, after filling this table that, the topics where they are weak belong to the category where the required activities have not been done.
Activity tracker: Please put a tick mark (?) in front of all the activities you have completed.

— Questions with negative marking
When there are questions with ‘negative marking’, the first thought that comes to mind is, SHOULD I TAKE A CHANCE? If you are not 100 per cent sure of the answer, then you will not consider answering it at all, lest you get negative marks. But that is exactly what you need to avoid.
Though random guessing is thoroughly discouraged, it may still be prudent to eliminate options and get to probably two likely answers so that your probability of getting it correct goes up. This is possible in all questions, which have Multiple Choices. However, if there are no such choices given (as it was the case in two sections last year), then it is better to leave such questions alone.

— Questions with no negative marking
There are two types of questions, which have no negative marking.
1. Integer type: Students have to “calculate” down to the finest value and then indicate that value in the OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet. This is where the test really lives up to its definition — “objective”. But not multiple choice.
For example, if the answer to a particular problem is 112, then the students have to arrive at the correct answer. In the answer grid that contains four columns of numbers running from 0 to 9, they have to darken 0, 1, 1 and 2. The OMR reader would read the answer as 112 and only to that answer, marks would be awarded.
2. Match the following: The students are asked to match the items in the left column with those in the right column.
A seemingly simple proposition, if you were to exercise ‘fix a couple’ and ‘eliminate one possibility’ kind of techniques. However, it would not work here.
Let the left column have (A, B, C, D) and four options in the right column be (w, x, y, z).
The final marking would look something like this: A- x,y; B- x; C- w,z; D- w,y,z.
You would have to mark exactly like this in the specially designed grid in the OMR sheet to get any credit for this question. If you were to mark all others correct and then D-w,z, no marks would be awarded for this question.
If you were able to get out of the compartment mode of thinking and look for applicability of concepts across subject areas, you would do well. For example, when you look at an area in Mechanics, you should also realize that the same concept may be present in five other topics, viz., Motion in one dimension, Motion in two dimensions, Work Energy Power, Rotational Dynamics and Laws of Motion. Which means you should be able to use one concept in different areas to get these type of ‘Match the following’ questions.
Well, that is what the JEE intends to seek in young aspirants – can you ‘size up the situation’?
