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

    4. Tessellations

    Generally called as unfolded views, Tessellation is all about unwrapping a solid on a flat surface and drawing the unfolded view on a paper. I also gave easy way of solving tetrahedron tessellation problem in one of my pages. check below links
