JEE Main 2024 Paper: Memory-Based Questions and Analysis of 9th April Morning Shift

With a 72.6 percentile in JEE Mains, CRL rank of 410886, and SC category rank of 27340, your daughter might not be able to get CSE, CSE (AI & ML), or CSE (Data Science) in top NITs/IIITs through JoSAA, as these branches usually close at a much lower rank. However, she may have chances in:

Some newer NITs in less popular branches, but CSE-related branches will still be tough.

State-level engineering colleges in Telangana through TS EAMCET counselling (better chances here, especially in SC category).

Private universities like SRM, VIT, KL University, and GITAM where admission is through their own entrance exams or JEE score.

Deemed universities and good private colleges under management quota if budget allows.

Hello,

Based on previous year cut-offs, for General category you should aim for around 105–115 marks in JEE Main to get a seat in any NIT in any branch.
For top branches like CSE or ECE, try to score 115 marks or more for better chances.

Hope it helps !

In JEE Main exam pattern , each correct answer in Paper 1 (B.Tech) is awarded 4 marks, and each incorrect answer results in a deduction of 1 mark. Unanswered questions do not incur any negative marking. Paper 1 includes 90 questions, 75 of which are to be attempted.

These questions are divided into three sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with 25 questions each (20 MCQs and 5 numerical value questions). The total marks for Paper 1 are 300.

Hello Ashutosh,

If you have completed your UPTAC counselling verification with the correct Class 12 board, school name, and original marksheet - and the statuses were "passed" or you verified as a "pass" when the online document verification showed "passed" - the incorrect information in the JEE application (whether the board name, school or school type) should not lead to cancellation at physical reporting.

During physical reporting, the institutes are primarily checking that the original documents correspond to the verified documents in the counselling. Since you would have included the information to provide in the UPTAC verification, and it was accepted, you should be okay. Just ensure to carry along the originals and the UPTAC verification slip so that you can without hassles.

Hi,

JEE Mains previous year question papers and answer keys are available on the official NTA JEE website for the past several years. For older papers (more than 4–5 years back), you can find them in JEE preparation books by publishers like Arihant, MTG, or Disha, which compile the last 10 years’ papers with solutions or you can find in trusted educational websites also . Solving past 10 years’ papers is an excellent way to understand exam patterns, frequently asked concepts, and improve time management. I recommend downloading both shift 1 and shift 2 papers for each year, as the JEE Mains now conducts multiple sessions.

Good luck with your preparation.

Thank you.

- Physics: Unit & Measurement, Kinematics, Laws of motion, Work-Energy-Power, Gravitation, Thermodynamics, Oscillation & Waves, Properties of Solids & Liquids, Current Electricity, Magnetic Effects, Optics, Modern Physics, Experimental Skills.
- Chemistry: Broadly Segmented into Organic, Inorganic, and Physical- topics like Purification & Characterization, Basic Principles, Hydrocarbons, Biomolecules, Practical Chemistry.
Mathematics: Sets, Relations & Functions, Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Matrices & Determinants, Permutation & Combination, Calculus, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry.

Hello!

Ideally, GPAT preparation should start around 8–10 months before the exam to give yourself enough time to cover the syllabus and revise properly. Since GPAT is a competitive exam, consistency is the key. You can start with 2–3 hours of study daily in the initial months and then increase it to 6–8 hours as the exam approaches. Break your schedule into three phases: Phase 1 (first 4 months) – cover the entire syllabus subject by subject, focusing on concepts and notes; Phase 2 (next 3 months) – revise topics and start solving previous year papers; Phase 3 (final 2 months) – focus on mock tests, time management, and weaker areas. Always reserve the last few weeks for pure revision and formula memorization. Remember, regular revision and practice are more important than long study hours without focus.

Wishing you all the best for your GPAT journey. Thank you!

Hi!

As per current JEE Mains eligibility rules, a student can appear in the exam in the year of passing Class 12 and the next two years. If you passed Plus Two in 2021, your direct eligibility window for JEE Mains has already passed. Even if you reattempt Class 12 in 2026, it is generally considered as an improvement attempt, and NTA counts your first attempt year for eligibility purposes. However, rules can change in future, so keep checking the official JEE Mains brochure for 2026–2027. Since you’re already pursuing B.Sc., you can also consider other state-level engineering entrance exams or lateral entry schemes for B.Tech after graduation. These options will help you continue toward your goal without depending only on JEE. It’s good you’re planning ahead, so keep exploring all possible pathways.

Best wishes for your studies!

Since your daughter was born in Kerala and you completed your full education there, she is eligible for KEAM. Even though she is studying in Pune now, she can apply under the “Keralite” category as per KEAM rules. Just make sure to submit valid proof of birth in Kerala and your education certificates from Kerala during the application process. This will ensure she is considered a Keralite for admission purposes.
