Engineering Entrance Exam

Hello Siddharth,
Its good to know the confidence in oneself that you are showing. With marks that you are expecting, there are large number colleges viz different NITs, IIITs etc. All such colleges that are going to admit students based on JEE Mains rank are mentioned on 'JEE-Mains' website. Just browse through and you will have enough knowledge.
Best wishes.

Go to Toppers website. It is very much useful for any entrance examination.

You didn't mentioned private or government.
Incase for private you should have 100+ or even 90+.
For government,120 will take you to top NIT's and will also qualify you for JEE Advanced.
If you are SC reserved,85 is fine to get into NIT's ,same for ST reserved too.

If you want books or study for GATE, you can refer to Made easy study material. If you want to prepare for GATE and score well, study your course books and foreign authors. You can practice as many numericals as you can. This will prepare you for GATE exam. Rest, you can prefer Made Easy study material.

Hello Abhinav,
In the information brochure which is officially released, it does not reveal anything about the number of questions that you will have to answer. It only says that all three parts will have equal weight-age. Each correct question will earn four marks. Each wrong question will fetch one negative mark and unanswered question will fetch no marks. But, going by last year's data, you will need to answer 90 questions. You can calculate yourself how many maximum marks you can score if you do not attempt certain questions.

Hi Pooja,
SAT and JEE are entirely different hence comparing them will make little sense. JEE tests a different skill set while SAT is entirely different. To do well in SAT, you must be extremely well in English and the level of mathematics is a little easier as compared to JEE for obvious reasons. That said, a very good SAT score can land you up in a top university in the world.

Hello Siddharth,
You definitely need to score 75 percent or more in your 12th. This only will make you eligible to get admission in NIT. You of course need to study for JEE Mains. Good AIR only will enable you to get a in NIT. Still, there's sometime left. Utilise it in overcoming weak areas that I am sure you must have found out by now.
Best wishes.

BITSAT 2017 online tests are scheduled from 16th to 30th May, 2017.

Hello Mallappa,
The usefulness of the exam is relative. If you have decided to not opt for IIT or those colleges whose admission is based on JEE Mains, then there is no usefulness for you. However, if you desire to take admission in IIT's or CFI's, then this exam is simply vital. Similarly, if you are desirous of taking admission in some private universities, then again JEE Mains has no relevance.

Hello Mitrank,
The last yea's cut off was placed between 45 to 100 depending on the category. The cutoff was declared in the month of April last year. We can expect something different this year since marks obtained in class 12th will not be counted. Be that as it may, I will advise you to aim for much more than thus since what happens in the exam is totally unpredictable. Additionally, the pattern of marks could be different since a score of only JEE Mains is going to be considered. Don't worry. appear for the exam with tension free attitude and you are bound to score better.
Best wishes.
