Questions related to JEE Main
My permanent address on birth certificate is different from adhaar card and I have filled my permanent address in jee form as per birth certificate but I have given adhaar card as my photo identity proof. Will IIT not give admission to me ?
Hello Aspirant,
Don't worry you won't fave any problem because AADHAR will only be considered as your ID proof not as your address proof so will not face any problem. Note that if the permanent address is filled as per the Birth certificate then only your birth certificate will be considered as address proof so keep it safe.

Thankyou!
can I get direct admission in jec without jee
Hii,
No, you can't get direct admission in jabalpur engineering college in B.Tech course without JEE.
You have to give jee main exam and if your rank is less than 160000 for the general category then you might get admission in jabalpur engineering college. If you belong to any category like sc, st, obc, ews then obviously there will be an extra benefit for you in terms of admission and fees also.
Eligibility requirements for pursuing B.Tech in jabalpur engineering college is that candidate must passed 10+2 with Physics/Mathem atics as compulsory subjects with at least 45% marks (40% for the reserved category candidates).
Or,
3 years Diploma examination with at least 45% marks (40% marks for reserved category candidates).
And also have to clear Joint Entrance Examination.

Is dropping a year jee bad?Can a dropper go to gym while preparing?
Dropping a year is not at all bad if you have that enthusiasm & zeal to get your dream college. Yes, health is wealth so definitely you can go to gym. Health & studies should be your priority while preparing.
if i start now can I crack jee mains 2022 july attempt?
Greetings of the day aspirant !!
I hope you are absolutely fine. As per your query , yes , if you will start from today onwards then you will definately crack the jee mains july exam. See, for cracking any competitive exam , you just have to be determined for that and consistent for that. If you make your mind to crack the exam then you will have to definately pay hard for it. I will mention some tips that will surely helps you in your preparation.
- Firstly , analyse the whole syllabus and try to focus on the topics that are repeatedly ask.
- Then , make a time table in which try to give more hours to those topic or concepts and subjects first that are tough for you.
- After that , mark the topics that have high weightage and easiest topic first , and try to complete them first. So , that you can easily score good marks.
- Solve the previous year question papers so that you have an idea of the questions that will ask in exam.
- Try to do mock test so that you can learn to manage your time so that you will not face any difficulty in the exam.
- Now , revision is very important so try to revise your concepts weekly that you read before.
- Be consistent and determined and prepare for the exam in a very focused manner.
I hope this helps you.
Good luck :-):-)
