Hello,
You should select Jharkhand for the JEE Mains application form because you will be reappearing in the exam as a private candidate in Jharkhand. The state you will be appearing in and your passing year are what you should fill in your JEE Mains application form, but not your 12th class state.
Hope it helps!!!
Hello Aspirant
If you want to get into IIT for AI Engineering, then you should definitely choose Pure Mathematics in Class 11–12. Applied Maths won’t help in JEE because IIT entrance exams use advanced math concepts. Pure Maths will build your problem-solving skills and cover everything needed for JEE Main and Advanced. It also prepares you better for AI, Data Science, and Coding in college. So for your dream of AI engineering at IIT, Pure Maths is the right and safest choice.
That's an excellent resource for targeted, efficient practice!
