Preparing for NTA JEE Main 2020 – Here what is important

The previous session’s AIR 1 holder, Shubham Srivastava took both the attempts in April and January. Here are a few tips from him:

• Make a daily routine and stick to it like a ritual
• Enjoy while you prepare
• Try to take both the attempts, take the January exam as a practice exam and in April exam you can improve the scores. April exam seems to be easier if you have attempted the January attempt.
• Be regular at school and coachings. gather as many study materials like notes, question papers, and books.
• Refer to NCERT first, clear the concepts. JEE Main is all about it.

His routine: After school and coaching, he devoted 3-4 hours to self-study daily. He kept his routine flexible. He did not refer to too many books but he focused to get his concepts correct.

JEE Main 2020 Cutoff – How much you need to score?

So the first thing to understand is that there are 2 types of score that you can aim for –

• One, a score to clear the cutoff for appearing in JEE Advanced 2020.
• Two, the score to take admission in the NITs, CFTIs and the IIITs.

To be in category one, the candidates must note that every year out of 11 lakh candidates appearing for the JEE Main, around 2 – 2.5 lakh candidates are selected for JEE Advanced examination.

ST	44.33	24	27	48	44
PWD	0.11	-35	01	–	–

Candidates aiming to join NITs, CFTIs or the IIITs have to check the opening and closing ranks of the institutes when the JoSAA counselling starts. For an idea of the same, below are the Opening and Cosing ranks of the top 05 NITs, from last year.

Top 10 NITs as per NIRF ranking	The highest and lowest rank as per the round 1 of seat allotment*
