Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello,

No, you don’t have to give JEE Main or Advanced to become an app developer .

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Choose the right stream: After 10th, take the Science stream (PCM) or even Commerce/Arts if you’re confident. Science is preferred but not compulsory.

  2. Learn programming: Start with languages like Java, Python, or Kotlin. You can learn online or join short courses.

  3. After 12th: Do a degree like BCA , B.Sc. (Computer Science) , or B.Tech (CSE/IT) . For B.Tech, some colleges use JEE Main, but many private colleges don’t.

  4. Build skills: Make small apps, do internships, and create a portfolio.

  5. Keep learning: Explore Android, iOS, or cross-platform tools like Flutter or React Native.

In short, JEE is not mandatory . It’s only needed if you want to study B.Tech in top engineering colleges like IITs or NITs. You can become an app developer without JEE by taking other courses and practising on your own.

Hope it helps !

Hello

For JEE Main registration, your EWS certificate must be issued before the registration deadline.
Ideally, the certificate should be dated after April 1 of the current academic year .
NTA usually mentions the required issue date in the official JEE information bulletin. If your EWS certificate is delayed, you can upload an EWS undertaking temporarily. But you must produce a valid certificate during counseling (JoSAA), or your claim won’t be accepted.
Always get it made from your local Tehsildar/SDO office well in advance to avoid last-minute issues.

Since you passed Class 12 in 2025 with 70.2% and later improved English in the same year (July 2025) to make it 75% , you have to upload the latest marksheet that shows your improved marks . For JEE Main/Advanced and later JoSAA counselling , NTA and IITs always consider the final result after improvement . During application form filling, you can enter your updated percentage, and at the document upload stage, you should upload:

  • Your original Class 12 marksheet (March/April 2025)

  • Your improvement marksheet (July 2025) showing the revised score

Both documents are important because the improvement marksheet proves your eligibility (75% criteria) while the original shows you passed in the same year. During JoSAA document verification, candidates usually upload both marksheets together in one PDF so that authorities can clearly see the updated percentage.

In short: Use your improved percentage (75%) for eligibility and upload both old + improvement marksheets merged as a single file to avoid confusion.

In Malda district, West Bengal, the JEE Main 2025 exam centre code is WB20. Candidates from the district can choose Malda as their preferred exam centre during registration. The final allotment of centres depends on availability and preferences submitted by students. The exact number of exam halls may vary each year based on the number of applicants. Students should confirm their allotted centre through the official JEE Main admit card.



Hey

Yes, it is better to get your EWS certificate ready before filling the JEE Main 2026 application . The EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate is used to claim reservation benefits during counseling and seat allotment. If you don’t have it while applying, you may miss the reserved quota advantage and may not be able to update it later.

To get it, you need to apply at your local Tehsildar / Revenue office with required income and property documents. Once issued, keep a scanned copy ready because JEE Main application requires uploading it. Having it prepared in advance ensures that during application and JoSAA counseling , you can claim EWS reservation smoothly without delays.
