Sir, I've been trying very hard everyday. There is so much pressure because it's my 2nd attempt but still I'm getting around 45-60 marks which converts into 75-85 percentile after analysing the mocks. I see myself in 80s. I am making some silly mistakes by not picking up the correct question. I want to know what I should do to pick the right Qs. Will I be able to score 97-98 percentile?

Ans: While writing mocks, I would implore you all to not focus only on the scores

Instead focus your energy to

A. Attempt the test again at home and identify if the shortcoming in scores was due to Time pressure OR due to lack of preparation

B. Identify the strong and weak areas

C. Look at solutions and identify ways to improve your approach.

D. Tabulate all your data so that you can analyse the performance at one go

E. Try and finalize an approach for the next mock

try this and there is no reason not to hit 97/ 98 percentile

Question by Gautam - Jun 07, 2024Hindi

Career

I have secured a 85.5 percentile and there is one of my friend who secured 89 percentile the only difference in our prepration was that he completed almost 90 percentage of syllabus and I had only completed only 40 percentage of syllabus so can it be at extreme difference and secondly he is taking a drop and he have completed the syllabus almost but I have not so if I take a drop will I get good result as he will if can so how because I have completed a very few portion of syllabus. And some time also doubt that how did even score 85 percentile in jee mains with only few portion of syllabus

Ans: Gautam, Please note, (1) scoring above 97-98 percentile (from 85.5) is not that much easy at the same time, NOT Impossible, if you plan for a Drop for Next Year. Some IMPORTANT Points You Please Keep in Mind: (2) You should definitely cover 100% Syllabus (3) There is no important / unimportant Chapters as far as JEE is concerned. (4) Avoid comparing yourself from others (5) Devise a good preparation strategy, for ILLUSTRATIVE examples (i) Give much importance to Maths & Physics, followed by Chemistry as JEE is Rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, then Physics & Chemistry which I hope you might be aware. (ii) Join any Coaching Centre, preferably nearby your home like ALLEN. But avoid FITJEE as the Study materials of FITJEE is much advanced. (iii) Giving more importance to Difficult / Complicated / Lengthy / Wrongly Answered Questions (iv) Keep practicing Online Test Series, provided by the Coaching Center and take notes of Wrongly Answered Questions to revise / refer time and again also before your JEE. All The BEST for your Bright Future, Gautam. I hope I have clarified your doubts.

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 11, 2025Hindi

How can I improve my percentile from 96.5 to 98 in 2nd attempt total attempted 48 (physics 16, chem 21, math 9) 39 correct (physics 14, chem 15, math 8) one bonus was obtained in physics Total scored 143 (139+4), negative 9

Ans: Hi,

After analyzing the marks you scored in both attempts of the JEE, I have some suggestions for you.

Firstly, it seems that you are weaker in math. I recommend focusing more on this subject by taking online tests and using relevant books to improve your skills.

It appears you might be concentrating on understanding the subjects well, but I’m not sure if you are utilizing tips and tricks for problem-solving. Learning and applying these strategies can significantly improve your score in the JEE.

Just give it a try, and I believe you will achieve an excellent score next time!

All the best!

Sir, my son got 95.6 percentile in jee main with general category with home state delhi pl suggest some gov college

Ans: Try with DTU/NSUT lower-to-mid branches like Mechanical/Civil/Biotech/Environmental and possibly EE/EP in favorable rounds, plus DSEU/other Delhi govt institutes as safer options. Otherwise, try with private universities located in the nearby area of Delhi.

Question by Sachin - May 05, 2026Hindi

Career

Dear Sir, My son rank is 41000 in jee mains and DA-IICT has launched two BS - MS Dual program in IT and second in AI and Data science. What are chances to get this course ? What is the scope of this course? In can see now in job portals trend is changing and companies only ask for Bachelors/Master degree and need to focus on skills. Is it a good option?

Ans: Sachin Sir, At a CRL rank of 41,000, securing a seat in DA-IICT’s regular B.Tech programs is unlikely, as recent closing ranks for ICT, MnC, and VLSI are much higher. However, the institute’s newly launched 5-year BS–MS Dual Degree programs in IT and Data Science & AI offer a more realistic alternative. These programs admit students based on JEE Main Mathematics percentile or CUET scores, not overall CRL, and since 2026 is their first admission cycle, competition may be less intense.

This 5-year, 200-credit curriculum is ideal if your son is passionate about coding, AI, data science, cybersecurity, or research-oriented tech careers—provided the fee structure and longer commitment are manageable. It’s also wise to keep several reliable backup options rather than relying solely on DA-IICT.

Ultimately, success depends less on the degree and more on how your son invests his time: honing technical and communication skills, building a professional profile through projects/internships, networking with alumni and industry experts, maintaining visibility on platforms like LinkedIn, and developing emotional intelligence to confidently navigate his career path. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir i have got a call letter from iit madras online bs data science course can you tell me the future of this program

Ans: While the IIT Madras BS in Data Science is a government-recognized, UGC-entitled degree, it is highly recommended to pursue it alongside a regular, on-campus undergraduate degree. A traditional, physical campus experience provides essential components that an online program inherently lacks: professional networking, holistic skill development, and versatility. A core campus degree (like B.Tech, B.Sc., or B.Com) combined with the IITM BS provides a powerful "hybrid" profile, showcasing both disciplinary depth and specialized technical expertise. The IITM program is specifically designed for this flexibility. Many students leverage it as a "value-add" qualification, significantly enhancing their employability by stacking high-demand data science skills onto their primary foundational degree.

Career

My son avail OBC rank in jee mains 181542 to possible for government college

Ans: Sahadev Sir, With OBC-NCL rank around 181,452, chances through JoSAA for NITs/IIITs are almost nil, because even lower-demand branches usually close far earlier. For GFTIs, chances are also very low in JoSAA, but he should still fill maximum choices, especially lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, Food/Agriculture-related branches, and less popular GFTIs. The better chance may come in CSAB Special Rounds, which fill vacant seats after JoSAA. It is also advisable to have 4-5 backups of Private Engineering Colleges apart from your son's State Counselling, instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir i have given my 12 th board exams in 2025, and i have 73% in pcm, i have not applied for the improvemnt exam in march feb, can i give improvement exam in 2026 july for one subject, sirr plzz guide me

Ans: Most boards allow candidates to appear for a single-subject improvement in the next year (2026), but not specifically in July. Improvements are only allowed during the regular board exam cycle (Feb–Mar 2026). However, you must verify the exact year’s eligibility when forms open for your board exams, including limits on improvement attempts and timing. It is highly advisable to contact the administrative office of your college and the board office for the most recent updates.
