You can score 300+ by focus and practice. According to my experience, we all have a fear about this exam in the back of our mind and this fear can decrease our confidence which drastically changes your result. So, read this article to understand what is the key points to score 300+ in JEE Main.
Correct Study Material
The pressure of heavy books does not lead you to crack this exam, it just discourages you and leaves a bad impression about the syllabus.
For Physics: NCERT books will be the best to begin practising will be a good book for the practice of questions because this book contains some really good back questions, but I don't recommend NCERT for concepts.

H C Verma is a book that will clear your concepts and for the preparation in the last month. You should focus on this book more than NCERT.

OP Tandon book can clear your doubts about Inorganic Chemistry and this book also contains some really good explanations for concepts and MCQs which helps you a lot in your practice.
For Math: Questions of previous years’ are good in NCERT but I don't recommend NCERT for complete Math.

In Math, books don't matter in terms of concepts, the only thing which matter is your practice. So do as much practice of mathematics in this last month guys.
Examination structure
For 2020, the pattern of JEE Main has changed and here is the new pattern:
- Now each subject contains 20 MCQ question and five numeric questions which you have to solve and attain the answer.
- So, the total questions are 75 and each question is of four marks. This leads to a total of 300 marks.
- Negative marking of one mark is only applicable on MCQs, numeric questions don’t contain any negative marking.
Focus point
Focus points of each subject are as follow:
Physics: Modern Physics, Optics and Electromagnetics are good scoring areas of Physics.
Math: Calculus, Coordinate Geometry and 3D Geometry are scoring areas in Math.
Chemistry: For Chemistry, Inorganic and Organic both come in scoring areas, including the last chapters of Class 11 and 12.
Self-evaluation
For self-evaluation, guys believe me nothing can be more sufficient than last year’s exam papers of JEE Main. Practice as many sample papers available on the internet because these sample papers will give a great boost to your confidence.
So, these are some tips for the preparation of JEE Main in the last month, I hope this article will help you in your exam.

No, JEE Main ranks are not accepted for core engineering seat allotments at this campus. Admission to all BTech tracks is handled exclusively through the university's own entrance test ranks.

Sorry, but even under the SC category, securing a seat in an NIT with a JEE Main CRL rank of 632000 is not possible.

The rank needed for admission to the BTech course would depend on the course, round and branch you are applying for. For the General HS category, the Round 2 cutoff was 770798 for the BTech CSE course. So, this category students need a rank of at least 770798 to be considered eligible 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.

Absolutely. Unlike government colleges with very tight cutoffs, most private engineering colleges in UP admit students across a wide score range, and several also accept students without a JEE Main score at all. Your branch choice and college reputation still matter, but private colleges generally o

No, JEE Main is not mandatory for BTech admission to SVSU Meerut. While JEE Main scores are accepted for BTech application, students can qualify directly through the university's SNET examination or Class 12 merit.
