Q1- What would you advise to students appearing for the April and May edition of JEE Main 2021 who have already appeared in Feb and March editions?

Firstly, it is advised that they should attend these attempts because they will help the students in normalisation of scores. Now the students who are currently in class 12th should strongly focus on April attempt as in May the board examinations will be going on & the students who have already passed class 12th should focus on both April & May attempts. Now the students should assimilate what they have learnt from Feb & March attempts and work on their weakness for next attempts.

Q3- Students will also be having their board exams in May. How should students plan to give their best in both boards and JEE Main.

The students by this time should be ready for both board & JEE Mains as exams are already delayed by two months and JEE has four attempts so students should give JEE full heartedly in April and boards with full preparation in May. For JEE May edition they should just give the exam as they have already given three times before.

Q4- As an expert, what is your advice to students to prepare for JEE Main preparation?

You should revise all formulas and give mock tests analyse them and work upon your weakness revise inorganic chemistry from NCERT and JEE main specific topics in physics & maths. Prepare yourself for time bound paper solving and try to attempt paper as follows

Chemistry 45 mins

Physics 60 Mins

Maths 75 Mins

Q5- What are the best books for JEE Main preparation.

Previous years papers

Objective question books in PCM which should not carry more than 100 to 200 questions per chapter.

Q6- Students now have four attempts in JEE Main exam. How do you see it in terms of students' benefits?

Obviously more attempts bring more chances multiple attempts have students to give attempts with full preparation without too much interference with their board exams. It is overall beneficial for all students whether they in class 12th or passed class 12th.

Q7- What is your advice to students who would also be appearing for other exams like BITSAT, SRMJEE, VITEEE beside JEE Main.

Syllabus for all these exams are almost same so preparation is also same so I would advise students to prepare religiously for JEE Main and all other exams are subsets of this so rest all will automatically happen.

Q8- Coaching institutes and schools have been closed for most times in recent years and students' preparation have been hugely impacted. Give some advice to students to prepare for the exam on their own.

Schools are coaching’s are functional in online mode so students should contact their teachers for doubts which is the most Important aspect for preparation also they should review and deeply analyse previous year papers and find out important topics and examiner favourites and focus on them. Also, they should give multiple mock tests and find their weakness and work upon them.
