Well, as per the experts, JEE Main candidates who practice previous year’s papers have high chances of cracking the exam.

Benefits of solving PYQs

  • Understanding of the types of questions asked

Previous year’s question papers allow candidates to understand the types of questions that can be asked in the JEE Main 2021. According to Mr. Brajesh Maheshwari (Director, Allen Career Institute), almost 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the questions are repeated in the entrance examination. If a candidate has solved the last 10 to 15 years’s question paper then he or she can easily crack the entrance exam.

Candidates who are aware of their strengths and weaknesses have high chances of securing good marks in the exam. This helps them to know how to attempt the question paper.
