Alternative options of e-education

Online learning applications and platforms are available that provide a virtual classroom ambience with complete notes, expert opinions, online classes, mock tests, etc for best student preparation. Online portals help ensure academic continuity and put in place technology enabled interactive platforms, to engage with students. The online infrastructure makes it accessible through the internet from mobile smart phones, computers and laptops / desktops too.

Learning as against mugging

Refer to JEE Main syllabus as most of the questions asked in exam are based on the same. Check out JEE Main sample papers to know the exam pattern and marking scheme. Refer to previous years' question papers, mock tests, etc for practice. Learning as against mugging and then focused revision to get a strong hold on topics and subjects which stay in memory for a longer period is the rule of the game.


Get concepts right first

The idea is to strengthen the concepts and their application by solving mock tests and past years’ papers. It is important to read thoroughly and conceptually apply formulae in JEE Main type questions even at the time of revision. This will help students in solving the questions within a short time in the exam as most of the questions in Physics/Mathematics will be based on conceptual application of formulae.This phase should be effectively used for quick run through short notes and formulae and concepts at a glance of all chapters of the three subjects in a phased planned manner with equal time to each subject.

I belong to BC caste. Should I apply as OBC or general in Jee mains registration?

Hello,

If you belong to the BC (Backward Class) category, you can choose OBC-NCL in JEE Mains only if your caste is included in the Central OBC list released by the Government of India.

Here’s how it works:

  • Central OBC list: Used for national-level exams like JEE, NEET, UPSC, etc.

  • State BC list: Used only for state-level admissions or jobs.

So, if your BC caste name is in the Central list, select OBC–NCL while filling the JEE form.
If your caste is not in the Central list, choose General category, because the state BC certificate won’t be valid for JEE.

Example:
If you’re BC in Tamil Nadu but your caste isn’t in India’s Central list, you’ll be counted as General for JEE.

Hope you understand.

Is it compulsory to fill APAAR ID in JEE Mains application. Even though correct number entered, it is showing credentials are mismatch

Hello,

No, it’s not compulsory to fill the APAAR ID in the JEE Main application form right now.

If your APAAR ID shows a “credential mismatch” error even after entering the correct number, don’t worry, you can simply leave it blank and continue filling the form.

  • The APAAR ID field is optional for most students.

  • It’s mainly for linking your academic records under the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) system.

  • The mismatch often happens if your Aadhaar details or school record name format differ.

So, you can submit your JEE form without the APAAR ID, and it won’t affect your application.


Hope you understand.
