AIEEE lacks the persona of IIT JEE. But it doesn’t mean that it is any less tougher. Without sound knowledge of the fundamentals, one cannot think about clearing the exam. Unlike IIT, a larger percent of students would be prepared to clear it hence making it tougher. If you have to go ahead, one’s preparations has to be bigger. Time is your best friend and biggest enemy. So try to keep it as your friend.
