The Joint Entrance Test in Rajasthan is conducted for admission to agriculture, forestry, and horticulture degree courses. The exam tests subjects like Agriculture, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics at the class twelve level. Candidates can choose any three subjects depending on their stream. The competition is tough as seats in government universities are limited. Preparing for JET requires a deep understanding of agricultural practices, crop production, and botany. Most candidates spend six months of dedicated study. Use our checklist below to track your selected subjects and verify your topic-wise progress daily.
