Hii,
EAMCET and JEE Mains are both different exams. EAMCET is a state level Entrance Test to get admission in local Engineering Colleges and JEE is a National level Entrance Test to get admission in Engineering Colleges all over India. So If you are not able to make a good Score in EAMCET you won't get better College in state level. If you have good JEE percentile then apply for Colleges based on that Score.
Hi Atithya,
JEE is one of the most difficult entrance examination in not only India, but in the world. However, it can be cracked. For doing so, you need to make a rigid but realistic timetable and strictly adhere to it. You need to be able to focus on what's important and block out everything else. You have to be able to study with concentration and dedication for hours on end.
