How to get 100% scholarship in engineering colleges- Pursuing an engineering degree opens up a myriad of opportunities for the aspirants to gain exciting job prospects within or outside the country as well as to continue higher education, either in India or abroad. However, engineering is a very specialised course that might be beyond the financial reach of some aspirants. Hence, engineering colleges offer financial assistance to students in the form of scholarships to help ease the monetary load and allow meritorious and deserving students to pursue engineering. While universities have their criteria regarding scholarships for engineering students, the general prerequisites to offer a full scholarship include being a state topper or a topper in the entrance exams like IIT JEE 2024 or SRMJEEE 2024 or performing exceptionally well in the 12th standard exams i.e. securing a percentage above 80 to 90.

Hello,

NTA has not yet announced the JEE Main correction window dates. It will open after the registration process ends, and the notice will be released on the official website.

You can usually edit details like school name and category-related information during the correction window. So, you should be able to correct the school name and the OBC certificate authority field if those sections are made editable.

Keep checking the JEE Main website regularly, and make the changes as soon as the correction window opens.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, you need to enter your board registration number while filling the JEE Main application form .

This is the number given by your school board (like CBSE, ICSE, or state board) when you registered for your Class 10 or Class 12 board exams .

You can find it on your Class 10 or 12 admit card, marksheet, or registration slip provided by your board.

If you don’t remember it, you can ask your school for the registration number.

Hope it helps !
