Careers360: What is the role of National Testing Agency (NTA)?
Aakash Chaudhry: NTA would work as an autonomous and self-sustained premier testing organisation to conduct all entrance examinations for higher educational institutions. It would start conducting NEET and JEE Main from the upcoming academic session. NTA researchers will pioneer, in the Indian context, computer-based testing, which will permit innovative test items, more than once testing for JEE, NEET, etc examinations, convenient scheduling and faster marking and score reporting for students. NTA will also introduce researched based more advanced versions of computer-based tests, including multimedia questions and simulations, thereby will move beyond the boundaries of traditional paper-and-pencil tests.
Careers360: Is it good to conduct JEE twice a year?
Aakash Chaudhry: The decision to conduct JEE Main 2020 twice in a year now has doubled the chances for students as they can appear twice without wasting a year. It is definitely going to benefit a lot of students as it will give them an opportunity to identify their weaknesses and rectify their mistakes and learn from them before the next sitting as only the best score of the two will be taken into account for admission.
Careers360: Please share some advantage or disadvantage of conducting JEE Main 2020 twice a year.
Aakash Chaudhry: The exams are timed in a way that now students will be able to devote time to both boards and entrance exams and pace their preparations accordingly. Moreover, the exams will be spread across multiple dates rather than being held on a single day. JEE Main 2020 will be conducted in computer-based test mode only which will save precious time during exam and will also result in faster declaration of result. This method will ensure more security, transparency and will be similar to international practice. It will help avoid leakage of exam papers. This would also bring in digital revolution in the rural areas as students will now be able to practice free of cost in centres set up by NTA.
-->On the other hand the new method may invoke additional investment on the student to buy devices and online tests to practice the new pattern. Furthermore, there could be incongruity due to different set of question papers given to different students, unlike offline exam where same test paper is given to all. Lastly, students of class XII will have to finish their syllabus well in advance to be able to take advantage of JEE Main 2020 January attempt that may result in early preparation pressure at their end.
Careers360: How useful is attempting JEE Main 2020 mock test and solving sample papers?
Aakash Chaudhry: We believe JEE Main 2020 mock test and sample papers will help in following things:
Develops conceptual understanding
Familiarises with JEE Main 2020 exam pattern
Aids in better time management
Increases speed and accuracy
Helps evaluate preparation level

Careers360: What exam day strategy a candidate need to adopt to be successful in cracking the entrance examination?
Aakash Chaudhry: According to me mentioned below are the pointers that candidates need to keep in mind on the exam day:
Read the instructions carefully and skim through the paper before beginning to attempt.
Carefully read the questions, understand what is asked and then answer.
Manage your time well. Do not spend more time than planned on a particular question. Do not get stuck and move on if you are unsure of the answer.

Do not guess the answers as it can result in negative marking.
Maintain a positive attitude.
Careers360: What should be the daily schedule of a candidate preparing for JEE Main 2020 should look like?
Aakash Chaudhry: The daily schedule depends of the candidate to candidate. No two students can follow the same daily schedule as everyone as its own style of studying. However, candidates preparing for the entrance exam must make sure that they add following things in their daily schedule:

How can I get admission in punjab engineering college, Chandigarh. What was jee main cut off for general category outside punjab in last three years
Hi.
Admission into Punjab Engineering College(PEC) is through JEE Mains score.
Since you did not mention any category, I will assume general category nor did you mention any branch so I will give you an average rank to get an admission into PEC, which is 25,500 approx. as per 2019 stats.
The highest closing rank for AIQ is 43,708 in 2019 and 33906 in 2018 and 49,486 in 2020.
Good Luck
can bio student can give jee main exam while uptu is not connecting exam and uptu exam will conduct through jee main
Hi.
Your question is unclear but I will try to answer as much as I can.
So, a bio student can give JEE Mains only when the student has Maths as an additional subject and appears in its board examination and secures good marks (such that total percentage of PCM is higher than or equal to 75%(GEN) or 65%(SC/ST))
Yes UPTU is cancelled now the colleges that previously took admission through UPTU, will be considering JEE Mains score now.
Good Luck
