JEE Main Scores

At least 300 and above JEE Mains score is the required to get admission in IIST, Bangalore.

It depends on the latest cutoff. Last year's cutoff for SC or ST was at least 49-50.

Hello Abdul,
You must score 75% or more to appear for JEE Mains. Many states and private institutes admit students based on AIR. In these institutions, you can get admission based on AIR. But, on the other hand there are many states and private institutes which conduct their own entrance test.
To get admission into any of these, you will have to appear for each and every test. Unfortunately, nothing is on horizon like NEET is for medical, on engineering side. We all have to put pressure on government to have a single all India test for admission to any of engineering colleges in India.

Rather than focusing on your weaknesses, work on improving your strengths. To solve JEE problems you need deep understanding of topics. You don't have enough time to improve upon your weaknesses. Rather, focus on strengthening your strong points and study them deeply. Select two subjects out of PCM and focus dedicatedly on those two subjects only. Leave the third one, study little for the third. As far as I know, there are no section wise cutoffs in JEE. Also, take some practice tests and find out where you are mostly going wrong or not.

Hello Atul,
This year the system for deciding AIR has undergone changes. Marks obtained in 12th will not be counted. Marks scored only in JEE Mains are going to be considered. Secondly, there is a huge variation in ranking required to get admission in different NITs. Don't worry about that aspect now. Concentrate on studying.

If you have studied well from 9th onward and you have sound understanding and knowledge of PCM subjects, you can score well in JEE Mains. All the best!

To get admission in good engineering colleges you need at least 200 marks.

You can appear for JEE exam and get a good rank. You can also fill a separate application form for IISER, which will be advertised in every national newspaper. You can get the counselling information from the college website.

It will depend on the score you get and also on the cutoff for admission. There are many colleges which take admission on the basis of JEE Mains.
Some of the colleges are:
1. Delhi Technological University (DTU).
2. National Institute of Technology.
3. NITK – Surathkal.
4. NIT – Trichy.
5. Birla Institute of Technology.
6. BIT – Mesra.

Hello Proverb,
AIR in JEE Mains of previous years has actually no relevance from this year, since AIR is going to be prepared by utilizing marks obtained only in this exam. In earlier years, marks obtained in class 12th were counted for preparation of AIR. Hence, you should not worry about your rank, but study well.
