Before diving into the analysis, here are some quick tips to help students appearing in upcoming shifts:
Manage Time Wisely: Distribute study hours for subjects by aligning time duration with subjects that match your stronger areas. You should limit your attention to one question at a time for thorough practice.
Focus on NCERT for Chemistry: The majority of Chemistry exam questions focus primarily on NCERT material therefore your understanding of the basics needs to be strong. The Organic Chemistry section requires focused attention on both mechanisms and reactions.
Prioritize Accuracy Over Speed: In Physics and Mathematics, you should work on fewer questions with precision rather than rush through several questions achieving partial accuracy.
Revise Formulas and Key Concepts: Students who understand their formulas well in mathematics combined with physics sections of the exam will get time benefits during testing.
Stay Calm and Composed: One hard question should not shake your confidence level during the exam. Work on questions that you feel comfortable handling.

Hello,
If you are scoring around 120 marks in JEE Main mock tests, it usually falls in the 88–93 percentile range, but this depends heavily on the difficulty level and normalization of the paper.
Many coaching mock tests are deliberately tougher than the actual JEE Main, so scoring lower in
Dear candidate,
1. Difficulty Level
JEE Main / Advanced
Very competitive, national level
Only top ranks get NITs, IIITs, and top private universities
EAMCET (Engineering, Agriculture & Medical Common Entrance Test – AP/TS)
State-level exam
Easier than JEE, syllabus is mostly Class 11 and 12 basics
More weightage for speed
If you prepare for JEE Main , you automatically cover a large portion of the TS EAMCET syllabus , because both are based on Class 11 and 12 PCM. You can attempt JEE Main, TS EAMCET, AP EAMCET, and even private university exams like VITEEE or SRMJEEE. The difference is
