Preface

Since the time the IIT-JEE (Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination) started, the

examination scheme and the methodology have witnessed many a change. From the lengthy subjective problems of 1950s to the matching column type questions of the present day, the paper-setting pattern and the approach have changed. A variety of questions have been framed to test an aspirant's calibre, aptitude, and attitude for engineering field and profession. Across all these years, however, there is one thing that has not changed about the lIT-JEE, i.e., its objective of testing an aspirant's grasp and understanding of the concepts of the subjects of study and their applicability at the grass-root level. No subject can be mastered overnight; nor can a subject be mastered just by formulae-based practice.

Mastering a subject is an expedition that starts with the basics, goes through the illustrations that go on the lines of a concept, leads finally to thc application domain (which aims at using the learnt concept(s) in problcmsolving with accuracy) in a highly structurcd manncr.

This series of books is an attempt at coming face-to-face with the latest IIT-JEE pattern in its own format, which is going to be highly advantageous to an aspirant for securing a good rank. A thorough knowledge of' the contemporary pattern of the liT-lEE is a must. This series of books features all types of prohlems asked in the examinat.ion-he it MCQs (one or more than one correct), assertion reason t.ypt;, matrix match type, or paragraph-based, thought-type questions. Not discounting to need for skilled and guided practice, the material in the book has been enriched with a large number of fully solved cnncept-application exercises so that every step in learning is ensured for the understanding and application of the subject.
