Will JEE Main 2020 be cancelled?

It is actually difficult to predict that JEE Main 2020 will be conducted after the coronavirus outbreak or not. However, looking at the present situation when the number of positive cases in the country are increasing with each day, there are few chances that JEE Main 2020 may get postponed. If it happens, it will again create numerous queries among the students. There are many students who didn’t appear for the January session of the exam, what will happen to them? What will they do?. If JEE Main 2020 is cancelled then what will happen to JEE Advanced 2020; what will be the basis of admission to IITs this year then. There are now various theories available to answer these questions; some say that JEE Main scores will be used for admission to IITs. Some say JEE Advanced will simply be cancelled and next session will be held early next year. However, these are only speculations as there is no official notification from the authorities yet. So, for now candidates must not worry about the cancellation of JEE Main because even if it gets cancelled, the authorities will clear all the points through an official notice.

How candidates should utilise this lockdown period

As JEE Main 2020 has now been postponed to June, candidates appearing for the April session have more time to prepare for the exam now. All the candidates must utilise this lockdown period and additional time available to them to boost their JEE Main preparations. Candidates can refer to the following points to have a better preparation strategy during this time.

Follow a new time-table- Candidates should prepare a special time table for this period. They can take up the important topics from each subject and study them according to the time table. However, only making a time table won’t help; it must be followed religiously.

Attempt mock tests and sample papers- At this time it is very important that candidates attempt more and more JEE Main 2020 mock tests. As these mock tests are based on the actual pattern of the exam, they will give the real feel of the examination to the students. Similarly, various JEE Main sample papers are also available for the students which they should practice regularly. JEE Main mock tests and sample papers will help the candidates to analyse their performance.

Revise- Candidates should try to revise maximum during this time. As the JEE Main syllabus is very vast, it is important that the candidates have a revision of whatever they have studied.

Stay Healthy- In this time of coronavirus outbreak, it is very important for the students to stay healthy and fit. Any effect on their health during this time will directly affect their preparations.

Hi,

You should apply as an OBC as you belong to the BC caste if you are listed on the central government's list of OBC, because BC falls under the OBC category. But if your caste is not on the central government's list, you should apply for the General category, even if you have a state-level BC certificate.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

No, it’s not compulsory to fill the APAAR ID in the JEE Main application form right now.

If your APAAR ID shows a “credential mismatch” error even after entering the correct number, don’t worry, you can simply leave it blank and continue filling the form.

  • The APAAR ID field is optional for most students.

  • It’s mainly for linking your academic records under the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) system.

  • The mismatch often happens if your Aadhaar details or school record name format differ.

So, you can submit your JEE form without the APAAR ID, and it won’t affect your application.


Hope you understand.

As per the Syllabus of JEE Mains 2026, there are some highly weightage topics which helps you to maximize your marks in the exam.

Mathematics

  • Calculus: Integral and differential calculus are highly weightage topics in mathematics.
  • Coordinate Geometry: Conic sections (circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas) are a major topic in this chapter.
  • Algebra: Algebra topics include Matrices and Determinants, Binomial Theorem, Complex numbers and Quadratic equations.
  • Vector and 3D Geometery: Understanding of vectors and three-dimensional geometry is the plus point to score a good marks.
  • Statistics and Probability: Statistics and Probability are very important topics, and one or two questions come from these two topics.

Physics

  • Electrostatics and Current Electricity: These are two important topics in electromagnetism.
  • Optics: Try to cover both ray and wave optics.
  • Thermodynamics & Modern Physics: In thermodynamics try to cover whole chapter including concepts like heat and temperature and also try to cover whole  Modern Physics.

Chemistry

  • Physical Chemistry: Physical Chemistry includes Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, Stoichiometry, and Chemical Equilibrium.
  • Inorganic Chemistry: Lots of questions come from inorganic chemistry, so my suggestion to you is to try to complete whole inorganic chemistry by heart and mainly focus on p-Block elements and Coordination Compounds.
  • Organic Chemistry: Like Inorganic Chemistry, organic chemistry is also a very important topic. Try to complete whole organic chemistry by heart and main topics in organic chemistry are Reactions of Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Benzene, Aldehydes, ketones, and Carboxylic Acids.
  • Chemical Bondings and Molecular Structure: Cover these whole topics which helps you to understand other topics.

I hope this will really help you and Best of Luck for you exam.

Hello dear aspirant,

You don't have to worry right now for the EWS certificate as the certificate should be issued after 1st April, 2026 (in your case). Also you can also directly go to the collectorate office with all the documents required and they will apply for the certificate.

Thank you, hope this helped.

Hello,

If you’re appearing for Class 12 (HSC) in 2026 and don’t have your board admit card or roll number yet, you can leave the “Registration No./Enrollment No./Roll No.” field blank or enter “NA” (Not Applicable) if the form allows.

Do not enter your school GR number, as it’s not recognized by the exam board or NTA.
Once your board issues the admit card or registration number, it can be updated later during JEE Main form correction or at the time of result verification.

So, for now, safely enter “NA” or leave blank — not your GR number.

Hope you understand.
