Heya,

Yes, you can refill your category again. In the case of the April session JEE Main registration, you have the option to change your category while registering your details only once. You can switch from General to EWS if you have a proper certificate. Just be certain that the EWS certificate is granted before the last date of the April session form and complies with the NTA's requirements of validity.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

To score 150 marks in JEE Mains is really a good aim, you can follow the below guidelines to achieve it.

1. Have conceptual clarity in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

2. NCERT is the foundation for many questions, so focus on the NCERT books.

3. Prepare a proper schedule and follow accordingly.

4. Give tests after completing certain topics. You can also consider giving mock tests to improve yourself.

5. Revise regularly because retention of topics is very important.

6. Don't ignore any topic.

7. Cut the distractions, stay healthy and study well consistently.

All the best.

if we talk about DTU (Delhi Technological University) — you must have at least 60% in PCM and pass all subjects. The 75% rule is not strictly applicable here, so you can get admission based on your JEE Main rank and Delhi quota, if applicable.

For IIIT Hyderabad, admission is based on JEE Main percentile/rank, but the institute also requires a minimum of 60% in Class 12 (PCM). So, even with less than 75%, you are eligible if you meet this 60% requirement.

Hope you understand. ALL THE BEST.

Hello Tanishka,

Although i believe your attempting strategy and sequence depends entirely on your stage of preparation and your personal progress, i would suggest you sit for your January attempt even if you aim to seriously prepare for April.

Whatever stage of syllabus completion you are at, i suggest you give it a try to get an estimate of the exam difficulty and see roughly where you stand among the applicants that year. No matter how many mock tests you attempt, the actual examination environment happens to be very different from mock tests. The first attempt is going to give you an idea of the exam environment so you can prepare for your April attempt better.

All the best for your exams!

Hello Swati

Yes, your EWS certificate will be valid for JEE Main 2026 and counselling if it’s issued after April 1, 2025.
This is because EWS certificates are valid for one financial year from April to March.
So, a certificate made in October 2025 will be for FY 2025–26, which covers both JEE and counselling. You’ll need the certificate number during JEE registration in October 2025.
Even if you don’t have it yet, you can still register and upload it later during counselling. Just make sure the certificate clearly mentions the correct financial year.
Always keep a few extra copies and the original ready for verification.
You're good to go if it’s issued after April 1, 2025

Hello,

Yes, NCERT books are good for the JEE exam, especially for building a strong conceptual foundation and for chemistry, but they are not sufficient on their own for high scores. NCERTs are essential for understanding the basic concepts of physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and many questions are directly based on their content, particularly in inorganic chemistry.

I hope it will clear your query!!
