Engineering Entrance Exam

No, don't drop a year just for JEE Mains. Drop only if you are targeting JEE Advance and if you want IITs. Still if you are confident enough that you can do very well in JEE Mains next year and are sure to get top NITs, then only drop the year otherwise it's a waste of time.

Yes, you are eligible for both JEE Mains and Advance.

Surely you are eligible to give the exam. But you will be disqualified in the document verification round at the time when you report to the college. Hence you should not give JEE Mains.

The only criteria is that you have to fill the form for counseling as per the notification by JOSAA and pay the required fee. Yes, OBC candidates get benefit of their category. Hence there are two ranks - general rank and category rank.

Hi,
It's not a very good idea for you that you repeat one more year. It will be wastage of time. Generally, what happens is students whose ranks are within 2000-5000 they want to improve their ranks so they repeat the year. You must sit in JEE Mains counseling if you want a college. Enroll yourself for REAP counseling. You can get some good colleges in Rajasthan. You should even enroll for the state counseling. Don't go for VIT or SRM.

Hi,
JEE Advance is the examination which tests the overall preparation and analysis of a student. So a student must study from standard books. Here are the names of books:
Mathematics: IIT mathematics by Das Gupta and TMH Publication along with MTG Publication of past years papers.
Chemistry: Prakash Bahadur for numerical chemistry.
Arihant Publication for inorganic.
Jagdamba Singh for organic chemistry.
Physics: book by IE Irodov. Advance has direct questions from this book.
2) TMH publication and MTG publication past year's papers.

Since you won't get top NIT's through Mains rank, it's better to go for IITs. Since IIT is a brand, you will have more options in IITs and only in top NITs. Since you won't get top NITs, it's better to opt any IIT.

1. Don't waste your time in books.
2. Complete the assignments given by the institute.
3. Clear your doubts, etc.

You have scored less marks so you can go for your state government engineering colleges or some choose a private college.
