Although I am an MBA student, at present, I was preparing for JEE Main in 2014 before I made a switch. I have been there and done that so I know the pressure JEE Main 2020 aspirants must be feeling right now with only a few days left to the exam. I will help you in breaking down the topics from the subjects that are prime for JEE Main 2020. 

Chemistry 

In Chemistry, there are three parts organic, inorganic and physical. For Physical Chemistry, study NCERT  and previous years’ JEE Main questions. This would be enough. For Organic, follow the NCERT. However, an important tip is that make sure you study maximum from Class 11th and 12th syllabus. In Inorganic Chemistry, you can score well by studying all NCERT books and previous years’ question papers as most of the time questions are actually repeated.

For JEE Main, attempt all the questions from 2013 till now. If the questions repeat you can directly solve and can get an idea of how to solve them. Pick a new chapter everyday because you have to crack and do it quickly as soon as possible. Also, at this time don’t study chapters you are weak in, revise the ones you are good at.

Physics

In Physics, three parts are important, Modern Physics, Electro Magnetism and Optics. In JEE Main paper, solve first the section you are comfortable with, then solve other sections because this will save your time and you can use the remaining time in other sections.

Try solving Chemistry first to save time.

Yes, you can get admission to VNIT Nagpur with 95.55 percentile in JEE Main under the EWS category (Maharashtra home state) but your course options might be limited or into less competitive or core branches.

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, 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%. This makes originally expensive private colleges much more affordable for high scorers, so it's worth applying ev

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. 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.
