For NIOS candidate, the State of Eligibility will be the state in which their study centre is located.
For Indian students who have passed or are appearing from a school abroad, the State code of eligibility will be determined on the basis of permanent address in India (as per passport ).
For Indian nationals from Nepal/Bhutan, the State code of eligibility will be determined on the basis of permanent address in India (as given in the passport).
For OCI/PIO candidates passing Class XII (or equivalent) in India, the same rules for Indian students will apply.

JEE Main 2020 Counselling

Mode of Counselling: Online

There is no special counselling for JEE Main. Instead, it is held commonly through Joint Seat Allocation Authority ( JoSAA) along with the counselling for JEE Advanced. To participate in JoSAA counselling, candidates have to register in online mode. The counselling and seat allotment of JEE Main will be based on candidate’s merit, availability of seats and choice of institute and courses. JoSSA counselling will consist of two mock rounds followed by seven rounds.

JEE Main Counselling:

There is no registration or application fee for JEE Main counselling held through JoSAA.
Registration is one time during counselling. This is valid for all rounds of the counselling.
Candidates must enter their options for courses and colleges.
Seat allotment of JEE Main will be on the basis of the options filled by the candidate, merit rank and seat availability
Thereafter for every round after the allotment, candidates who are allotted seats must download the provisional seat allotment letter, pay the part seat acceptance fee and report to the nearest reporting centre as specified for verification of documents.
Next they must take indicate their wishes with regard to the seat allotted:
Freeze option if they wish to keep the seat and not participate further
Float option if they wish to upgrade in the next rounds
Slide if they like the institute but wish to upgrade to a better branch within the same institute
Withdraw if they wish to participate no further in the counselling process.

After the last round is completed, candidates must report to the institutes to complete their admission formalities by paying the balance fee and submitting the requisite documents to the allotted institute.

Will JEE Main get postponed further ? What is the possibility ?

Kamal Kishor Chaurasiya 15th Aug, 2020

Hi Vishalini,

The first session of JEE Main in January was successfully conducted and the result was also released. On account of Covid19 pendemic the second JEE Main examination which was to be conducted in April was postponed and delayed. Now it is scheduled to be conducted from September 1 to 6.

As of now there has not been any official news regarding further postponement or cancellation. Moreover, two PIL has been filed in Supreme court from two parents side. One side is demanding that the candidates should not be risked and hence JEE Main should be cancelled because the coronavirus cases are still increasing at an alarming rate. On the other hand the other side is requesting MHRD to conduct it on scheduled time by making suitable arrangements so that the study of students cannot suffer. Let us see what supreme court decides.

All the best.

Is ncert exemplar maths class 12 and 11 good for jee mains and boards?

Hrisheekesh Singh 15th Aug, 2020

Hi Aditya,

Yes, NCERT Exemplar of Class 11th and 12th Maths are useful for JEE Mains. But, NCERT Exemplar is enough to get good marks in board exams, for JEE Mains studying Exemplar is not at all sufficient. You are required to study several other reference books also. Studying NCERT Exemplar for JEE Mains can fetch you around 30% Marks in JEE Main Maths Examination.

Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!

How much should i score in jee paper 2 test to get 98 percentile only in Aptitude part

Shudhanshu Gupta Student Expert 15th Aug, 2020

Hello.
since it is quite difficult to predict the marks to score a particular percentile because the percentile depends upon the number of candidate appeared for the exam and also the topper percentile actually it is your normalise score which is calculated with respect to the number of students who got equal to and less than your marks so to get 98 percentile you can consider marks that you need to score is more than equal to 90% of the total marks of that particular area of the exam.
Best of luck.

tomorrow jee main admit card will come and hearing is on 17 if IF neet is postponed then what abt the released admit card?

priyaankasarkar Student Expert 15th Aug, 2020

There has been no official announcement from NTA as to when would the admit cards would be released. And the hearing hasn't been scheduled for the 17th either. It is likely to be taken up on the 17th. So these things are hypothetical. And regarding the admit cards being released, they will be released only when the exam cinducting authority is going ahead with the exams. Because the matter is subjudice, the admit cards might not be released. Once the Supreme Court gives a final verdict, that is when the admit cards will be released. That is the process. At this point in time, there is no clear notification regarding the same. There are 2 cases pending in the Supreme Court. A parents body has filed a PIL in the Supreme Court requesting for JEE Mains and NEET to be postponed further due to the increased cases. And they have come up with 10 reasons as to why NEET should be further postponed. And Parents body from Gujarat also filed a PIL requesting NEET and JEE Mains to be conducted as per schedule without any delay. Supreme Court is yet to pass an order on it. Until there is any official notification regarding this from either NTA or MHRD, we have to assume that NEET will So while it is still under hearing, we cannot say anything at this point in time. States like Kerala already have started taking precautionary measures to set up exam centres in the State. And NTA also did inform the Supreme Court that it cannot hold NEET abroad this year. We have to wait to hear from either NTA or MHRD regarding the same. Until then the only wise thing to do would be to prepare for NEET as if it is going to happen on September 13th so that if the schedule doesnt change, you are not thrown off the guard. And if you are preparing for NEET, you may as well try our NEET Knockout package:https://learn.careers360.com/knockout-neet-may/ . And because you have 33 more days to prepare for NEET, you may as well use this opportunity
