Questions related to JEE Main
can I get 90/100 in chemistry in jee mains if I do only ncert and previous year question paper?
Hi Vishal,
See this is very much harder to study only NCERT and previous year question papers and get 90/100 in Chemistry in JEE Mains Exam. I am not saying it is impossible, if you study and memorize each and every page of NCERT and understand every concept well and practice out last 10 years question papers, then it might be possible.
Else you will have to go through a good book other than NCERT for your JEE Mains preparation.
Refer here to see Best books for JEE Main 2020 - https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/best-books-for-jee-main
Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!
Answer laterIs government in the favour or zero year or neet jee postponement?
The only thing that government is concerned right now is about health and safety of the students.
Government is helpless, because conducting the JEE and NEET means risking health of more than 20 lakhs students and looking at the current situation when Covid-19 cases are setting record everyday, its highly likely that the exams will get postponed.
In case if any vaccine arrives or the number of cases gets minimized then the exam might take place as per schedule but at present nothing can be said for sure.You cannot control what will happen in future so you should focus on what you can do now and that is preparations for your exam.
I hope this helps.
can I get 90/100 in maths in jee mains if I do rd Sharma n previous years questions??
Yes,it is possible just that you need to remember the concepts used in the questions,and practice as many questions as you can since Jee mains examination is close.
Since you are using only RD Sharma you should practice it thoroughly,and your aim will be easily reached.
Best of luck;

As per the information available by the officials approx 72200 people are going to to take the test COMEDK, it is according to the number of registration but depending upon the condition final students who will attend the test will decrease or may be neutral as per the informations or predictions the exam is still going to conduct depending upon the condition of the crisis there are rare chances that it will be cancelled since many of the exams has already been conducted so these top level exam will be conducted with the vision taken by the higher authorities if it will cancel then the consequences will go with the zero session, and definitely if these exams will be conducted so other exams like JEE mains and neet will also be conducted.
