Why JEE-ADVANCED Toppers Usually Do Not Perform Well in JEE-MAIN?

Why JEE-ADVANCED Toppers Cannot Perform Well in JEE-MAIN?

Before giving admission to any student, most educational institutions across the world make it a point to evaluate skills of students through a variety of competitive exams. These competitive exams help an educational institution acknowledge students’ understanding of concepts, sharpness of mind, logical ability, and their intelligence.
One such competitive exam that has garnered huge prominence after JEE-ADVANCED in the country is JEE-MAIN or All India Engineering Entrance Examination. JEE-MAIN is the test given by engineering aspirants for a seat in any of the government engineering institutes in India.
Let’s go through a couple of key features of success in JEE-MAIN:
Clear Understanding of Concepts
JEE-MAIN hold great significance for engineering aspirants. But they should not forget that there is almost no difference between JEE-MAIN and CBSE exams. Just like CBSE exams, the key to success in JEE-MAIN depends on your understanding of concepts. Speed and accuracy are two other important features for the success in JEE-MAIN.
NCERT Books
NCERT Books are the bible of success in any competitive exams and CBSE boards.  All questions in JEE-MAIN are based on problems in your NCERT books. So just don’t miss any question that you may find trivial. Learn ‘exceptions’ by heart, make notes, and revise them thoroughly.
Practice previous years Papers
For success in any competitive exam, it is important to practice previous years’ paper and, also, examine the pattern of papers thoroughly. Observe the time taken by you to complete the paper. Do not forget to check your accuracy rate after the paper.
Don’t focus on just one aspect while solving previous years’ sample papers. You should also check on both theory and the numerical part.
JEE-MAIN and JEE-ADVANCED
It has been found that many JEE-ADVANCED toppers struggle to perform well in JEE-MAIN. The key reason behind this is the fact that JEE-ADVANCED is all about building concepts and proper application of the concepts while JEE-MAIN is all about speed and accuracy. Your success in JEE depends a lot on your command on basics and efficiency to solve complicated questions. On the other hand, your success in JEE-MAIN depends a lot on your understanding of entire syllabus, tricks to answer questions quickly, and your memorizing ability.
JEE-MAIN and CBSE
There are a lot of things in common between JEE-MAIN and CBSE board exams. In fact, students can prepare for both at one time. The only difference between them is that CBSE focuses more on theory while JEE-MAIN has numerical based-approach. Obviously, solving a numerical part is rather easy after you have honed your skills in theory.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
