From the day when you finish your class 10th board exams, try to start getting knowledge about the exam. Research says that it only takes 21 days to start a new habit. So, try to sit constantly for at least six hours during the summer leisure time.
There are around 23 IITs, 31 NITs and GFTIs with around 30,000 seats altogether. Don’t think like you need to compete with other students at the national level but think like you need to secure only one seat in a top IIT or NIT.

Positivity is the only thing that can take you to the next step. Have faith and absorb whatever positivity you can find around yourself.
I agree that the competition level today is much tougher than it was about two years ago. However, the knowledge of the students is also expanding.
First of all, try to cover the subject way before the main exam. You cannot rely only on books and classes, you need to prepare by yourself. Do not skip any chapter.

Then follow at least three books from each subject to get proper knowledge. There are a lot of digital platforms wherein you can watch videos or do some exercises. Some of them are free and some of them are paid. Scroll into these online courses and try to solve as many tests as possible. By appearing for these online tests, you can learn how to manage time and solve the maximum number of questions in minimum time.
For physics, I will suggest getting general ideas by reading books or by watching online videos about the first chapter and then solving questions regarding the chapter from different digital platforms.
Emphasise more to solve questions on the digital platform only.

Yes, JEE Mains has been listed as an accepted entrance exam for MIT Academy of Engineering BTech admission. The institute has also listed MHT-CET as its accepted entrance exam. Thus, candidates with a JEE Mains score can apply directly without appearing for MHT-CET.

With a JEE Main percentile of 90.94 and CRL rank ~1.4 Lacs (female, general category), you have realistic chances in mid-tier NITs (later rounds), state government colleges, and strong private universities in Tamil Nadu and Bangalore for ECE/EEE. Top NITs/IIITs are unlikely, but good regional option

With a JEE Main 2026 rank of 400,510 (≈ 70 percentile), admission to NITs, IIITs, or top GFTIs through JoSAA counseling is not possible.
Why?
- NITs/IIITs/GFTIs Cutoffs:
- Even for lower-demand branches (Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy), closing ranks are usually within 2–2.5 Lacs (General category).

With a JEE Main CRL rank of ~79,364 and an EWS category rank of ~11,884, you have a realistic chance of securing CSE in several mid-tier NITs, newer IIITs, and some GFTIs.
