India has been at the forefront of engineering and technology. However since the early 1990s with the liberalisation of the trade economy in the country and the aspirations of the American Dream there has been a steady rise in the number of engineers our country is producing every year. Globally the 90s decade marks the beginning of the digitised world. With western companies hiring scores of skilled engineers, it was only a matter of time that engineering became the much sought after qualification by Indian students.

In India, academics is a family subject, parents and relatives play an important role in shaping how and where the child completes their undergraduate and graduate studies. Even today a child’s journey through Class 8 to Class 12 is crafted by what they are good at. If your child has a dominant left brain, meaning is better at maths and science then the option is clear engineering or medicine. While medicine is for those students who have a higher aptitude in life sciences, anatomy and human studies, engineering is for those who show an aptitude for physics, numerals and experiments. This of course can be further divided into various branches of engineering.

This brings us to the question – Why do so many students opt for the coveted engineering degree? The answer lies in fact that though a career in medicine is lucrative at the beginning, the gap between higher salaries narrows as engineers progress in their careers. Higher salaries is equal to a better standard of living, and hence the best possible option.

To get admission to an IIT of their choice, students take coaching from not one but multiple coaching institutes. A student who ranked among top 20 in 2022 for JEE Advanced took coaching from as many as five different coaching institutes. It is truly a wonder how students find motivation and show continued dedication to achieve their goal. Our analysis brings us to showcase here in this article how popular JEE coaching centres have fared over the last three years in training young students to achieve their IIT dream.

A look at the year-on-year numbers will show you how fierce the competition is. While some students battle it out by themselves a large percentage of IIT aspirants rely on daily coaching, and specialised training in preparation to take the exam. The journey for the coveted JEE begins right at school. Special classes begin as soon as you set your mind to pursue the dream of studying at IIT and then the coaching centre trains, guides, mentors and handholds them right till the end.

Hope the details will help you.

THANK YOU

Preparing for the JEE Main in just 30 days is a challenging but achievable task if you follow a highly disciplined and strategic approach. According to the Careers360 30-day study plan , the key is to shift your focus from learning everything to mastering high-weightage topics and practicing rigorously.

Phase 1: Week 1 & 2 – Focus on High-Weightage Chapters

During the first 15 days, prioritize topics that frequently appear in the exam.

  • Physics: Modern Physics, Heat & Thermodynamics, Optics, and Current Electricity.

  • Chemistry: GOC (General Organic Chemistry), Chemical Bonding, p-Block elements, and Solutions.

  • Maths: Matrices & Determinants, Sequences & Series, Coordinate Geometry, and Vector & 3D Geometry.

  • Study Strategy: Use NCERT for Chemistry and simplified notes for Physics/Maths. Spend 3-4 hours on each subject daily.

Phase 2: Week 3 – Revision and Formula Memorization

  • Short Notes: Go through the short notes you made during the first two weeks.

  • Flashcards: Use flashcards for inorganic chemistry reactions and physics formulas.

  • Mock Tests: Start giving one full-length mock test every alternate day. Analyze your mistakes immediately to avoid repeating them.

Phase 3: Final Week – Full Simulation and Relaxation

  • Previous Year Papers (PYQs): Solve the last 3-5 years of JEE Main papers in the actual exam time slot (9 AM–12 PM or 3 PM–6 PM) to sync your body clock.

  • No New Topics: Stop picking up new chapters. Focus solely on what you already know to build confidence.

  • Accuracy over Speed: Focus on getting the questions right rather than attempting all of them, as negative marking can significantly lower your percentile.

Hello

I think your question sounds like this: "Can a candidate who passed Class 12 in 2025 and filled JEE Main Session 1 apply for Session 2 as 'Appearing' in 2026 as a fresh board candidate, and will both sessions have the same details? "

So yes, you can fill the JEE Main Session 2 as "Appearing". The information filled in Session 1 will remain exactly as it was and will not change.
Session 1 and Session 2 are treated as separate applications. There is no issue if the qualifying status is different in both sessions. During counselling, the board marks that meet the 75 rule will be considered.

Hello,

If you filled the JEE Main January form with Class 12 passed in 2025 and are planning to appear again for the Class 12 exam through HOS, there is usually no serious issue. You were eligible to apply since you had already passed Class 12. Reappearing through HOS for improvement or requalification is allowed, provided HOS is a recognized board. During counselling, your latest valid Class 12 result will be considered. Make sure you meet the 75% marks or top 20 percentile requirement where applicable. If a correction window opens, update details if needed.

Hope this has solved your query. Thank You.

Good Evening,

Yes, you are eligible for both JEE Mains and Advanced, as you completed your 12th with physics, chemistry and biology. Moreover, you passed mathematics in 2025, which makes you fit the eligibility criteria of both exams.

Aspirant, I would like to inform you that Careers360 recently launched a free mock test series for JEE students. The last date of registration is 8th January, 2026. Enroll and solve chapter wise question papers and improve you concept and assess your learning. The link to the mock test series is attached herewith. https://learn.careers360.com/test-series-jee-main-free-mock-test/

Best regards.
