IIT-JEE examination is not a difficult examination but it is a different one. It is a common belief that preparation for IIT-JEE is all about solving problems and those who succeed are geniuses.

Infact at JEE (IIT), the student's ability to apply the concepts learnt to new situations is put to test. A number of concepts from different area of mathematics are mixed, thus creating a new situation.

So the students who are not enthusiastic about using their I.Q. or concepts developed may falter. Barring a few top ranking students, others get success by consistent hard work, focused approach, efficient time management and a high motivational level.
