- Last week’s tips and tricks: For clearing any competitive exam, the most crucial time are the last weeks. Just make short notes of every topic, so that in case if you forget any formula or chemical equation, you can get it in a really short time. Buy any of the good test series and daily give two to three hours to them, and analyze your performance and try to work on your weak points. This technique will surely impact your performance to a great extent. Do not try to learn new topics as it will consume a lot of your time.
- Tips on time management: Most of the young students who have the potential to do big things are wasting their time on social media. Make sure that you are not giving more than 30 minutes to social media. Get up early in the morning so that you can have ample amount of time for doing all the things. Try to have a good sleep of at least seven hours daily. All these things will lead to good results in the long run.
- Scoring topics: As far as physics is concerned, important topics are Dimensional Analysis, Current Electricity & Heat Transfer, Kinetic Theory of Gases and Electromagnetic Induction. For chemistry, concentrate on p-Block elements,d & f Block Elements, Aldehydes and Ketones, Thermodynamics. For Maths, study Geometry, Continuity/ Differentiability, Limits, Complex No., Quadratic Equation, Integral Calculus, Sequence and Series and Trigonometry.
- Revision approach: For the revision purpose, start making short notes of every subject and write down the main points. Also, make a separate chart for the formulas of maths and physics, and paste them on your room’s wall and try to check all the formulas daily. Test Series will help you in boosting your revision. Solve two-three test series daily, note down your weak points and revise those topics repeatedly until you get a good grip.
- Managing boards along with JEE preparation: If you are preparing for JEE Mains exam then your numerical concepts will be clear. You only need to learn the derivations in physics and some theory in chemistry. Just give at least two hours daily to the theory section and you will nail the board exams. Because most of the exam paper will be conceptual and numerical based. Dedicating a small amount of time, in theory, will lead you to success altogether.

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:

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.
