Joint Entrance Exam or JEE Mains is considered as one of the most coveted engineering entrance exams in the country. To be conducted from January 6-9, JEE Mains 2020 is just around the corner and students are not leaving any stone unturned to give their best shots. For those who are aiming to score more than 300 marks in the exam, these tips can come in handy.

Correct study material

Think of JEE Mains preparation as a developing structure for JEE Advance. We have to start from the base level, then need to build columns and later on, we have to set up the stage for further action.  It is actually the hard work along with smartness that can make you score 300+. The first step would be to have the right direction and arrangement of proper books/study material. You should listen to each and every instruction given in your class very carefully. After this, what you need to prepare will matter the most. Also, it is very important that you attend classes daily with complete focus and attention. Further, for scoring higher marks, one should not take class notes lightly as they will be very useful during the final preparation. You should also replicate your personal notes with the summarized notes taken during your classes. Then finally comes the revision of the complete syllabus.

For Physics: One should study from P Bahadur along with NCERT. First, start with the authoritative manual for Physics HC Verma and then follow DC Pandey after you finish a section in HCV. Target topics should be mechanics, optics, electricity and attraction and so on. Further, we can also consult IRODOV. The reality about physics is that its planning doesn't end with 3 books, you need an introduction of a wide assortment of entireties.

Have a Self-Evaluation

Giving Tests is basic as it causes the understudies to survey their degree of planning and it’s very supportive to assess their exhibitions and urging them to improve in the tests. These tests help you in overhauling the entire schedule with the vibe of a genuine test. Give JEE Mock Tests in routine and continue assessing your situation at each stage. Chalk out the arrangement to conquer the powerless zones.

Have an inspirational outlook continuously, you have to turn into an idealistic individual to break any test in this world. An inspirational mentality helps to hold more and you will then have the option to score well in the tests. Finally, I would encourage you to stamp the significant date of the test, with the goal of designing your examination in your own way.

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.

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.
