JEE Main Question Paper: Medical and engineering have become the two most common professions in India. Every year, lakhs of children participate in the race to become doctors and engineers. Due to the influx of children pursuing these professions, various coaching institutions have emerged over the years.
The primary objective of these coaching centers is to enroll a plethora of kids in the pursuit of scoring maximum marks. However, a significant issue with these coaching institutions is that they create a hole in children’s pockets in the name of fees.
Typically, students end up paying substantial amounts to these institutes in the hope of obtaining the previous year’s question papers, sample papers, test series, and study notes. However, very few students are aware that various government portals also help students practice for major engineering exams such as JEE Mains and JEE Advanced, and the medical entrance exam NEET. Take a look at some of the top government portals that assist students with JEE and NEET preparation.
