Sir I actually did 2 mistakes while filling jee mains form.. 1. I skipped my middle name while filling the candidates name but my 10th marksheet show my full name that is name along with middle name 2. I did mistake while writing my address (I didn't wrote my building name) While it cause any problem during details checking at examination centre if yess what should I do to correct it

Ans: Please don't worry. 1) If you want to talk about the mistakes you made, please email the NTA Query Redressal System (QRS) or call the number given. You can just type "NTA Query Redressal System (QRS)" into Google to get the email address and phone number. The email addresses and phone numbers can be found by clicking on the first hit. When you send the email, make sure the subject line has your name and the application number that is on your 10th certificate. Keep your email as proof that you told NTA ahead of time about the mistakes you made on the application form.

2) The NTA will also open the CORRECTION window for two days in the first or second week of December 2025. Sign in to your account on the NTA site and check it often. You are empowered to fix the mistake you made.

2) Some applicants have different names (prefixes and suffixes) on their Birth Certificate, School Certificate, and Aadhar. This will make it very hard for them to fill out the application form and also when they go to the college to finish the admissions process.

3) This is my general advice to everyone who wants to take the JEE (Main) or any other entrance exam: Please check that your name is the same on all three documents: your birth certificate, your Aadhar card, and your 10th grade certificate. It's easy to change your name in Aadhar (based on your 10th grade certificate) because the process only takes one month. Please make sure that none of your names are the same (except for Passport), because the department that issues passports has its own rules about how names should be written. But please make sure that your name is exactly the same on the JEE application, the 10th grade certificate, and your Aadhar card.

I hope this answer clears up your question. Just Focus on your Preparation. All the BEST for your JEE-Main 2025.

Sir actually I did 2 mistakes while filling jee mains form... 1. I skipped my middle name while writing candidates name but my marksheet as well as adhar card shows my full name that is name along with middle name. 2. I did mistake while writing my address(I didn't write my building name). Will it cause any problem during details checking in examination hall...is yes what should I do to correct it please help
Ans: Hello.
(1) If your Aadhar card is verified at the time of form filling, then there is no need to worry.
(2) There is no problem even if you have forgotten to write the name of the building.
(3) You will not face any problems when entering the examination hall.
(4) Please follow all the guidelines laid by NTA before entering the examination hall.
(5) Even if you feel very insecure, file a separate application to NTA via email mentioning the mistakes you made in the application form. Carry the printout of this forwarded email with you at the examination center. If there is any problem, show it to the respective center head.

Note: It is sad to hear that students who are preparing for the JEE examination make simple mistakes in application forms. It is highly recommended that you download the brochure for the JEE examination and read it very carefully to avoid silly mistakes in the future.

JEE Mains 2025: Application Correction Window Opens On November 26: During the JEE Main rectification window, students can amend the information on their application form, such as address, paper details, category, photo, signature, and exam city preference. Applicants cannot change their name, mobile number, or email address. The correction period is only for 2 days i.e. 26th and 27th Nov

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Hello, I am currently in Class 12 and preparing for JEE. I have not yet completed even 50% of the syllabus properly, but I aim to score around '110' marks. Could you suggest an effective strategy to achieve this? I know the target is relatively low, but I have category reservation, so it should be sufficient.
Ans: With category reservation (SC/ST/OBC), a score of 110 marks is absolutely achievable and realistic. Based on 2025 data, SC candidates qualified with approximately 60-65 percentile, and ST candidates with 45-55 percentile. Your target requires scoring just 37-40% marks, which is significantly lower than general category standards. This gives you a genuine advantage. Immediate Action Plan (December 2025 - January 2026): 4-5 Weeks. Week 1-2: High-Weightage Chapter Focus. Stop trying to complete the entire syllabus. Instead, focus exclusively on high-scoring chapters that carry maximum weightage: Physics (Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Work-Power-Energy, Rotation, Magnetism), Chemistry (Chemical Bonding, Thermodynamics, Coordination Compounds, Electrochemistry), and Maths (Integration, Differentiation, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Probability). These chapters alone can yield 80-100+ marks if practiced properly. Ignore topics you haven't studied yet. Week 2-3: Previous Year Questions (PYQs). Solve JEE Main PYQs from the last 10 years (2015-2025) for chapters you're studying. PYQs reveal question patterns and difficulty levels. Focus on understanding why answers are correct, not memorizing solutions. Week 3-4: Mock Tests & Error Analysis. Take 2-3 full-length mock tests weekly under timed conditions. This is crucial because mock tests build exam confidence, reveal time management weaknesses, and error analysis prevents repeated mistakes. Maintain an error notebook documenting every mistake—this becomes your revision guide. Week 4-5: Revision & Formula Consolidation. Create concise formula sheets for each subject. Spend 30 minutes daily reviewing formulas and key concepts. Avoid learning new topics entirely at this stage. Study Schedule (Daily): 7-8 Hours. Morning (5:00-7:30 AM): Physics concepts + 30 PYQs. Break (7:30-8:30 AM): Breakfast & rest. Mid-morning (8:30-11:00): Chemistry concepts + 20 PYQs. Lunch (11:00-1:00 PM): Full break. Afternoon (1:00-3:30 PM): Maths concepts + 30 PYQs. Evening (3:30-5:00 PM): Mock test or error review. Night (7:00-9:00 PM): Formula revision & weak area focus. Strategic Approach for 110 Marks: Attempt only confident questions and avoid negative marking by skipping difficult questions. Do easy questions first—in the exam, attempt all basic-level questions before attempting medium or hard ones. Focus on quality over quantity as 30 well-practiced questions beat 100 random questions. Master NCERT concepts as most JEE questions test NCERT concepts applied smartly. April 2026 Session Advantage. If January doesn't deliver desired results, April gives you a second chance with 3+ months to prepare. Use January as a practice attempt to identify weak areas, then focus intensively on those in February-March. Realistic Timeline: January 2026 target is 95-110 marks (achievable with focused 50% syllabus), while April 2026 target is 120-130 marks (with complete syllabus + experience). Your reservation benefit means you need only approximately 90-105 marks to qualify and secure admission to quality engineering colleges. Stop comparing yourself to general category cutoffs. Most Importantly: Consistency beats perfection. Study 6 focused hours daily rather than 12 distracted hours. Your 110-mark target is realistic—execute this plan with discipline. All the BEST for Your JEE 2026!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently a 1st year UG student studying engineering in Sairam Engineering College, But there the lack of exposure and strict academics feels so rigid and I don't like it that. It's like they don't gaf about skills but just wants us to memorize things and score a good CGPA, the only skill they want is you to memorize things and pass, there's even special class for students who don't perform well in academics and it is compulsory for them to attend or else the student and his/her parents needs to face authorities who lashes out. My question is when did engineering became something that requires good academics instead of actual learning and skill set. In sairam they provides us a coding platform in which we need to gain the required points for each semester which is ridiculous cuz most of the students here just look at the solution to code instead of actual debugging. I am passionate about engineering so I want to learn and experiment things instead of just memorizing, so I actually consider dropping out and I want to give jee a try and maybe viteee , srmjeee But i heard some people say SRM may provide exposure but not that good in placements. I may not be excellent at studies but my marks are decent. So gimme some insights about SRM and recommend me other colleges/universities which are good at exposure
Ans: First — your frustration is valid

What you are experiencing at Sairam is not engineering, it is rote-based credential production.

“When did engineering become memorizing instead of learning?”

Sadly, this shift happened decades ago in most Tier-3 private colleges in India.

About “coding platforms & points” – your observation is sharp

You are absolutely right:

Mandatory coding points → students copy solutions

Copying ≠ learning

Debugging & thinking are missing

This is pseudo-skill education — it looks modern but produces shallow engineers.

The fact that you noticed this in 1st year already puts you ahead of 80% students.

Should you DROP OUT and prepare for JEE / VITEEE / SRMJEEE?

Although VIT/SRM is better than Sairam Engineering College, but you may face the same problem. You will not face this type of problem only in some top IITs, but getting seat in those IITs will be difficult.
Instead of dropping immediately, consider:

???? Strategy:

Stay enrolled (degree security)

Reduce emotional investment in college rules

Use:

GitHub

Open-source projects

Hackathons

Internships (remote)

Hardware / software self-projects

This way:

College = formality

Learning = self-driven

Risk = minimal
