Every aspirant is preparing hard to score 300+ in JEE Main 2020. It's a dream score and it can be possible if you have the potential, the accuracy, good time management, right material for study and a successful exam plan. 

There are few ways that can help you ace JEE Main 2020 and emerge as a top scorer:

JEE Main Study Material

Most important part of your study plan is books and study material. Every coaching centre has its own booklets and notes. So if you have coaching try to read from your coaching booklets or their notes.
For those who don't have coaching, try to join Distance Learning Program (DLP) by this join any good coaching DLP program as mentioned above they provide their coaching materials at your home such as booklets, test series, question booklets on topic wise, etc., try to solve it on regular basis.

Most Scoring JEE Main Subjects

Try to solve more and more questions on Chemistry specially inorganic and organic is important.
In Physics, Modern Physics is scorable. Keep revising formula again and again as some questions will be asked directly on formula-based. In Mathematics, Calculus, Matrices and Determinant are scorable topics. From here you can solve more than 60% of questions.
Class 12th Physics section is easy as compared to 11 Physics, so try to solve 12 section first.

JEE Main Revision Plan

This is the most important thing that everyone wants to know. In my opinion, regular revision of each topic is a must. Suppose you have learned some new topics at the centre, try to revise the same day at your home, too. And make a week revision strategy on Sunday. As we know that morning is the best time to study.

Try to solve the All India Test Series (AITS) or they also provide to give this examination on centre so that you can get the experience of JEE examination. Try to solve 42-year JEE problems as you directly interact with JEE questions and try to solve them in less time. Arihant Formula books are helpful for revisions of all formula topic wise.
There is no need to study that topic which you are not able to understand. Some topics may be hard for students so don't focus on that area. Focus on that area in which you have a strong approach and also while studying try to relate these things to real-life examples as this will help to memorize and you will easily get understand.

JEE Main Test Paper Self-Evaluation

This is also important for every student. In this, self-solving question papers are the best technique to score more in the examination and a good strategy to study. Try to solve first topic-wise paper from various coaching institutes. And also put a timer in front of you so that you will be able to better prepare for exams. The sample paper are most helpful as some questions may be similar in the examination. After solving evaluate yourself and find mistakes and try to make corrections and read that problem again and solve so that it will help you to memorise.

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, several colleges convert a good JEE Main percentile directly into a fee waiver. Graphic Era's GECET-linked scholarships and UPES's merit scholarships can cut your fees by up to 50%.

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.

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.

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.
