Q. Since when have you started preparing for JEE Main?
Guramrit Singh: I have started preparing for the JEE Main exam from Class 10. I have tried to be regular in my studies. I have tried not to deviate from my goal that leads to a good final result.
Q. What was your preparation strategy for getting good marks in JEE Main?
Guramrit Singh: As far as JEE Main is concerned, I have followed NCERT to have a better understanding of concepts.

Q. Who has been the driving force behind your success in JEE Main?
Guramrit Singh: Teachers in the coaching motivated me a lot to perform better in the exam.

They also suggested us take breaks of at least one day if I have studied for quite a long time such as two weeks or more.
Q. Describe your daily routine while preparing for JEE Main.
Guramrit Singh: My daily routine looked something like this:
- Classes in the morning
- 7 hours study time after that. In this time, I used to complete my homework, assignments and revise the chapters taught earlier in the day
- 2 hours outdoor activity like football, cricket
Q. What is your preparation strategy for JEE Advanced?
Guramrit Singh: For JEE Advanced, I am practising application-based or conceptual questions as the exam comprises such types of questions. I am also practising a good number of previous year question papers and taking the mock tests to have an idea of the JEE Advanced.
Q. What are your future goals? Which college and course do you wish to pursue in future?
Guramrit Singh: I am very fond of computer programming. My first choice for the college is IIT Bombay and the course is Computer Science Engineering. I will make a final decision after JEE Advanced 2021 results.
Q. What would you like to say to students who are currently preparing for JEE Main?
Guramrit Singh: JEE Main aspirants must be regular in their studies and complete all the assignments or homework that day only. All students must follow their teachers’ suggestions religiously.

No, JEE Main is not required to get admission in BTech at Rajalakshmi Engineering College. Admissions under the government quota rely primarily on Class 12 marks through TNEA counseling. However, JEE Main scores may be considered for admission.

Yes, most Coimbatore colleges, including PSG Tech, Karunya, and Kumaraguru, primarily admit students through TNEA counselling, which is based on Class 12 merit rather than JEE Main. JEE Main is mainly relevant if you're targeting government institutes like NITs. So a strong Class 12 score alone can

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.

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