>> Questions asked from below given important topics
Physics-
2 Questions from Ray Optics
2 Questions from Projectile motion
2 Questions from Unit and Dimension
1 question from Logic gate
1 question from relative motion
1 question from Fluid Mechanics
Maths-
Vector & 3D Geometry: 3 questions

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.

On Question asked by student community
Hey there,
Your OBC-NCL certificate will not be valid for the JEE Mains 2026 application as it is from June 2024. You can apply for a new one as soon as possible. For the JEE Mains, the OBC-NCL certificate should be issued on or after 1 April 2025.
And as for your Aadhar, the mistakes in your name and Date of Birth will be an issue during the document verification process. The details should match your 10th-class certificate. So you will also need to update it as soon as possible.
Hope it helps!!!
Hello Satyam,
Yes, your EWS certificate is valid.
In Bihar, the EWS certificate can be issued by the Circle Officer, BDO, SDO, or DM. So a certificate signed by the Circle Officer (Revenue Officer) is acceptable.
If the format of your certificate is the same as the Central Government EWS format, then it is valid for JEE Main registration and also for JoSAA counselling. The heading “Government of Bihar” does not create any problem.
Just remember one point:
For
JoSAA 2026
, you will need an EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025. Even if your current certificate works for registration, you must update it before counselling.
Hope it helps !
Hello murali
No, your son is not eligible for OBC NCL for IIT JEE because you fall in the "creamy layer" occupational category, regardless of your current employment status or family income. Students whose family income is less than Rs. 8 lakhs annually and they are not belong to the "creamy layer".
Note -
Thank You
Hello,
You can fill the JEE Main form even if you are a private candidate
Write the
name of the school/board from where you are appearing as a private candidate
.
If your Class 12 admit card or registration slip shows a school/centre name, use that exactly.
If your board lists you as a “Private Candidate” under the board name , then write:
CBSE – Private Candidate
(or your board name – Private Candidate)
Use the pin code of the examination centre/school mentioned on your Class 12 private candidate admit card or registration details.
If your board does not give any school address and only shows the regional office address, then use the regional office address pin code given by your board.
Hope it helps !
Hello Aspirant
You should not leave the OBC-NCL certificate ID blank in the JEE Main form it can create problems later.
NTA wants the certificate details while filling the form, not just at counselling. If you can, apply for the OBC-NCL certificate immediately so you get the ID on time.
If you fail to submit the certificate during counselling, your category will shift to General. It’s safer to enter OBC-NCL only if you’re sure you’ll get the certificate before counselling.
Hope it will help you
