Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

start by finishing the scoring topics in physics, chemistry and maths.. and revise them deeply through examples and pyqs.. spend 60% of ur time on topics that frequently appear in exam and the remaining 40% on weak areas.. give one mock test every week, analyze mistakes and create a revision book as well as formula book to keep revising the formulae and the mistakes.. plan ur schedule one week ahead and plan the concepts u want to study.. keep small milestones and reward urself constantly to maintain ur motivation.

‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ In case you want to have access to the handwritten notes made by the JEE toppers, the most convenient manner is certainly by means of proper platforms which share the study material in a legal way. A good number of toppers have their notebooks uploaded on some educational apps or YouTube channels, and a few coaching institutes may offer compilation notes either for free or upon registration. Also, you can visit official JEE preparation forums where students share their handwritten notes for the convenience of others without any charges.

When you are downloading notes, it is always better to check if the source is trustworthy and the files are genuine because if you take the incomplete or incorrect notes, it will have an impact on your preparation. A more secure choice would be to look at the toppers' plans and brief notes that are written in the form of books or PDFs by the known coaching institutes. Never forget to combine such notes with the questions of previous years and mock tests so that your preparation will be complete. ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌


after u qualify JEE Mains and get admission through JoSAA, the tuition fees are paid by the student or their family, just like any other college course.. students belonging to SC, ST, OBC (NCL) or EWS categories may get significant fee reduction depending on the institute..

If your Aadhaar photo doesn’t match your live capture photo on your JEE Main 2026 form, fix it during the correction window. The National Testing Agency lets you update things like personal details and photos at that time. If you leave the mismatch, you’ll probably run into trouble during verification at the exam center. So, make things easier for yourself—get your correct photo and Aadhaar details ready, and upload them as soon as the correction window opens. If the window’s not open yet, just sit tight and watch for the official announcement. Don’t fill out another form, or you’ll risk creating duplicate applications.
