The paper was easy to moderate; almost all the topics were covered. The chapters of classes XI and XII were given almost equal weightage and, by and large, based on NCERT content. Organic Chemistry was sufficiently asked, followed by Physical and Inorganic branches.

Mathematics:- As in the other subjects, this part also contained two sections, Sections 1 contained 20 MCQ with single option correct type. It contained questions on Algebra, Calculus, coordinate Geometry, Vector and Three Dimensional Geometry. Section 2 was comprised of 10 numerical based questions with only 5 of them to be answered. As usual, a few questions involved lengthy calculations. Some students reported that a few questions were somewhat tricky.

JEE Main 2021 Analysis – Must read topics for upcoming exams

We feel that covering the NCERT syllabus and its examples will keep students in good position, particularly in Physics and Chemistry. Chapters like System of Particles and Rotational Motion, Current Electricity, Electrical Potential and Capacitance, Ray Optics are significant in Physics.

Similarly, in Chemistry, Chapter like Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure, Bio-molecules, Polymers, Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids, Equilibrium and Coordination compounds carry weightage.

In Mathematics, Chapters like the application of Derivatives, Definite Integrals, Matrices and Determinants, Sequences and Series, Probability and Complex Numbers are must-read chapters besides developing understanding and building exam temperament.

No, I don't think you can get into B.Tech EEE at Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad with JEE Main rank of 5,30,000 as General, non-UP domicile candidate. Typically, closing rank for EEE close much earlier around 3,00,00.

No, JEE Main has not been mentioned as an accepted entrance exam for BTech at GLA University.

Candidates who want to apply for BTech at this institute must appear in their own entrance exam called GLAET. 

Admissions are based solely on scores obtained in this exam along with performance in PI rounds.
