The exam pattern of JEE Main Paper 1 is - Total questions 300 marks. There will be negative marking of -1 for wrong answers.

If the candidates are applying for BTech courses other than BTech in Biotechnology, then the JEE Mains is a mandatory entrance exam for GGSIPU admission. For BTech in Biotechnology admission, candidates need to appear in either the IPU CET or CUET-UG.

Lateral entry BTech admissions at GGSIPU are done on the basis of merit in IPU CET.

JIS University considers WBJEE scores for admission to BPharm and BTech programmes. Such aspirants need to pass Class 12 with at least 45% aggregate with relevant subjects to apply via WBJEE scores. 

For those who are applying to the GD Goenka University BTech programme based on their JEE Main results, the timing is absolutely perfect and in sync with the rest of the country's results declaration and other processes. The JEE Main results are generally declared in the month of April every year, which is absolutely in line with the university's admission selection process just before the beginning of the academic year.

LPU‑NEST is mainly based on the Class 11 and 12 syllabus, so NCERT books for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English are the most important starting point. For additional practice, standard JEE‑level books like HC Verma (Physics) and RD Sharma or Arihant problem‑based texts (Mathematics) are commonly used. For aptitude and reasoning, books such as R S Aggarwal's Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning are helpful. Focusing on NCERT along with a few well‑known practice books is usually enough to cover the pattern and difficulty level of the test.

Honestly, with 77 percentile and ~76% boards, getting CSE at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is very unlikely.

CSE/COE usually needs much higher percentile or strong board marks.

But you can still have a shot at:

• Civil / Chemical / Biotechnology
• Maybe some newer or lower-demand branches (depending on cutoffs)

If your goal is CSE, you might want to:

• Look at other private colleges
• Or take a drop and try improving your score

Don't lose hope — just adjust the strategy 👍
