Alternative options of e-education

A crisis is also a great opportunity to learn and develop new forms of learning. 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. This allows students to learn by staying in the safety and security of their homes and ensure better learning outcomes, save time and increase the effective utilisation of time.


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.


Attempt regular mock tests

To test and analyse preparation, students are advised to take regular mock tests to know their strengths and weaknesses. JEE Main mock tests play an important role in making familiar with strong and weak areas. Attempt a few online mock tests as JEE Main will be held online in Computer-Based Test Mode (CBT mode). Online mock tests will help students gain experience of attempting online papers on a real-time basis.

Hello,

JEE Main ke 75% eligibility ke liye marks calculation board ke total marks (as printed on marksheet) par based hoti hai, best of 5 nahi.
Agar aapke marksheet me total 355/500 likha hai, to wahi valid mana jayega.
Isliye agar ye 75% se kam hai, to aap JEE Main de sakte ho, par NIT, IIIT, ya GFTI admission ke liye eligible nahi hoge, unless aap SC/ST category se ho (unke liye 65% required hai).

Hope you understand.
