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.

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, JEE Mains has been listed as an accepted entrance exam for MIT Academy of Engineering BTech admission. The institute has also listed MHT-CET as its accepted entrance exam. Thus, candidates with a JEE Mains score can apply directly without appearing for MHT-CET.
