Exam patterns and dates are set by the conducting bodies and can change. Always confirm the latest details on the official website for each exam.
A rough guide for planning. Dates change every year — always check the official notice.
Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The gateway to NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded engineering institutes, and the qualifying step for JEE Advanced.
Strong command of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and the ability to solve accurately under time pressure.
Concept classes → previous-year questions → timed practice → computer-based mock tests → analysis of every mistake.
Conducted by the IITs for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology. Open to top JEE Main qualifiers.
Deep conceptual understanding and comfort with unfamiliar, multi-step problems — pattern memorisation does not work here.
Concept depth → multi-concept problems → alternative approaches → question-selection strategy → full simulations.
Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The single entrance exam for MBBS, BDS and other medical courses across India.
Thorough NCERT knowledge in Biology and Chemistry, Physics problem solving, and accuracy across a long objective paper.
NCERT-first teaching → recall cycles → topic tests → full-pattern practice papers → accuracy and time analysis.
Conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, for engineering (PCM) and pharmacy/agriculture (PCB) admissions in the state.
Command of the full syllabus, fast recall and high accuracy across many questions.
Board-linked syllabus coverage → speed drills → repeated timed sets → mock tests close to the exam.
The National Standard Examination in Junior Science (IAPT) — the first stage of India's junior science Olympiad programme.
Applying science concepts in unfamiliar situations and reasoning through mixed Physics, Chemistry and Biology problems.
Concept extension beyond school → Olympiad problem sets → mixed practice tests → discussion of approaches.
The Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics — the first stage of the Mathematical Olympiad programme.
Non-routine mathematical thinking in number theory, algebra, geometry and combinatorics.
Pattern spotting → forming and testing ideas → writing clear reasoning → timed problem sets.
A Maharashtra science-talent competition with a written test followed by practical and interview stages.
Scientific reasoning, observation and the ability to explain ideas — not only theory.
Concept clarity and application questions → practical thinking → guidance for later stages where relevant.
Most students prepare for Boards and one or two entrance exams together. We plan them as one programme, not separate workloads.
