Resources for JEE Mains paper-2 (B.Arch/B.Planning)



After I staretd writing for NID and UCEEED, I got several requests from students to cover JEE and NATA too. So, this post is an attempt to cover as much info as possible that can possibly help you with your JEE preparation. I might have covere less or more topics, hopefully you will identify the best and prepare accordingly. As usual, I will update this page as and when time permits or when I get new materials, so keep watching this page for any updates!

Mathematical Geometry


 Like I stated in my earlier post for JEE syllabus, mathematics part (not the aptitude but general math part) is huge and covers wide topics. You must note that the syllabus is actually your intermediate maths and the questions asked are mostly basics. So, if you're a student with math background then its easy for you since a quick recap might hep you, but if you have arts and other background, then you need to do some work on this!

Fortunately Intermediate (11th and 12th text books) covers most of the listed topics, so I'm including available books as of now, but will check for topic specific materials soon -

Textbook on Maths for Mathematics part of JEE
Now we will look into the aptitude part of Maths in JEE. Math aptitude part heavily depends on your imagination and observation skills, which you will get if you understand the basics of solid transformations and different views.  The following set of resources and pdf files will help you to the most for self study.


Introductory basics on Engineering drawing useful for JEE/NATA


For further exercise and Practice
What to start, how to learn the basics of design aptitude? 
How to solve design aptitude, non-verbal, and Ability questions with examples



PART 16

        orthographic view (3D view) of any object is what I consider as impressive, since it can give you clear information about the details and the form of the object. Actually that is the requirement -- the way/view you draw should give as much detail as possible and the outer form of the object/product should be visible and specific so that anybody looking at it can visualize the object and if possible can understand its functionality too (later is questionable but the former is important). Above things sounds like it involves lot of math in it, but it is quite simple. I will try to give some examples with my answers, if possible soon.

        don't worry about the exam u have already given, just focus on upcoming exam, u said u r writing uceed also, so spend time preparing. Regardless of whether u get good score or not, it's better to have backups and give two or three alternate exams for safer side

        I don't think only maths text books would work well. Practicing from book banks, I mean solved papers and sample JEE tests would come handy to help you improve speed as well as give alternative fast approach of solving. If your college has got library or book bank, try some books for practice. If you are left with time (after ur 11th hand 12th study), try revising them and solving MCQ ques. Good luck

        hi,
        Google have recently made some changes to the URLs and that might probably be causing issues. OR, some of the websites might have removed those pages. I will chk and see if the links can be updated. If not, you have to adjust with the rest materials.
