  1. A candidate can appear for JEE Main in the year of passing Class 12th and the next two consecutive years.

    • For example, if you passed in 2023 , you are eligible for JEE Main 2023, 2024, and 2025 .
  2. After 2025, you will no longer be eligible for JEE Main unless you reappear for your Class 12 exams and qualify in a later year.

For further clarification, you can refer to the official JEE Main brochure released by NTA each year.

Hello Greetings


JEE Percentile and AEEE Marks

The JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) percentile and AEEE (Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination) marks are two separate entities. The JEE percentile is calculated based on your performance relative to other candidates, while AEEE marks are based on your absolute score.


Impact of Low JEE Percentile on AEEE

A low percentile in JEE will *not directly affect* your good marks scored in AEEE. The two exams are separate, and the admission processes are independent.


What Matters for AEEE

For AEEE, what matters most is your score and rank in the exam. If you've scored well in AEEE, you'll be considered for admission to Amrita University based on your AEEE rank.


Takeaway

Focus on your AEEE score and rank, and don't worry too much about your JEE percentile. You've prepared well for AEEE, and that's what matters most for admission to Amrita University.


Keep in mind that some colleges or universities might consider JEE scores or percentiles for admission, but it's not directly related to your AEEE performance.

Have a great day

It's completely understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed after facing so many health challenges during such a crucial phase of your JEE preparation. Here’s a structured approach to help you get back on track:

  • NCERT : Essential for Chemistry and Mathematics fundamentals.

5. Plan Your Study

  • Daily Schedule :
    • Allocate 6–8 hours/day for focused study.
    • Divide time into:
      • Class 11 revision : 40%
      • Class 12 topics : 50%
      • Mock tests : 10%
  • Weekly Goals : Cover one major topic per subject each week.
  • Use the Pomodoro Technique for better focus.

6. Focus on Class 11 Key Topics

  • Physics : Mechanics, Thermodynamics, SHM
  • Mathematics : Quadratic Equations, Trigonometry, Complex Numbers
  • Chemistry : Atomic Structure, Equilibrium, Chemical Bonding

7. Practice and Mock Tests

  • Enroll in a test series (Allen, FIITJEE, or NTA Abhyas).
  • Solve previous years’ JEE Main and Advanced question papers.
  • Analyze mistakes after every test and focus on weak areas.

8. Stay Healthy and Stress-Free

  • Prioritize your health. Eat nutritious food and stay hydrated.
  • Include light physical activity or meditation to reduce stress.

9. Parental Involvement

  • Share your concerns with your parents and set realistic expectations.
  • Request their support in creating a stress-free environment.

10. Seek Help When Needed

  • Don’t hesitate to ask doubts from teachers, peers, or online mentors.
  • Use apps like DoubtNut or HashLearn for instant doubt-solving.
