Pramod Maheshwari suggested a cycle or strategy that a candidate should follow for JEE Main 2020 Revision in 60 days. The strategy is mentioned below-
Day 1: Study a Chapter Completely
Day 2: Solve related problems or questions
Day 3: Attempt Chapter-wise mock tests
Next, on day 4, candidates should study a new chapter and follow the suggested plan. This cycle should be repeated until the entire JEE Main syllabus is completed.
Study a Chapter Completely- Candidates should make a subject-wise time-table first and then accordingly take up one chapter in a day and complete the entire theoretical portion. One day is enough for one chapter as you are revising the chapter, you have already done it before. Candidates must ensure that the time-table should be made such that the syllabus of all the three subjects is completed.
Solve Chapter Related Problems- Next, after studying the chapter completely, candidates should devote the next day to solve different problems and numericals related to the chapter. Candidates should solve as many problems they can in the entire day.
Attempt Chapter-wise mock tests- Next day, candidates should attempt mock tests on the chapter they studied. This will help them check their performance and they will also be able to analyse their mistakes. Candidates should write down the mistakes made by them in the tests and work upon them.
Full-length mock tests- As per Pramod Maheshwari, candidates should start attempting full-length JEE Main mock tests in the last 15 days of their revision plan. Full-length mock tests means tests having questions on all the three subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and are exactly the same as the actual exam. Candidates are advised to attempt these tests in an environment similar to examination hall so as to have a real feel of the examination. Attempting full-length mock tests will help the candidates to improve their speed and time management skills. Candidates will also feel more confident after attempting these tests.
If candidates feel they can study two subjects in a day then they can do that also. But they should solve related problems and attempt chapter-wise mock tests for both of them simultaneously. A proper strategy actually depends on the candidates, so they can frame it accordingly.

Hello,
For JEE Main and JEE Advanced , the cut-offs are lower for ST category students. Here is a simple idea based on recent trends:
JEE Main qualification for ST : Around 50–60 marks is usually enough to qualify for JEE Advanced.
JEE Advanced qualification for ST : You just need to clear the JEE Main cut-off, then appear for Advanced.
To get good NITs or IITs , you will need higher marks.
For NITs (Hyderabad or good branches), try for 120+ marks in JEE Main .
For IITs , even with ST quota, you should aim for at least 80–100+ marks in JEE Advanced for decent branches.
Since you are from ST category and Hyderabad , you don’t need 300 marks in JEE Main. Try to score as high as possible to get better branches, but even moderate marks can qualify you.
Hope it helps !
