Sir can you give me the full roadmap for iit jee mains and adv for 2026 and also for sat,bits pilani as currently i am in class 11 and also sir give me some guide tips of it.

Ans: Hi Shreya
If you are preparing well for JEE MAIN then BITSAT will be easier for you. JEE ADV requires a completely different outlook and approach as it is considered one of the toughest examinations in the world.

In comparison to ADV, the SAT will be very easy for you. But studying undergrad in USA is a very costly affair, if finances are no issue for you then you can go ahead with it.

Recently BITS campuses have started integrated programs with foreign universities wherein you study 2 years in India & 2 years abroad.

Providing a complete road map is not possible here, but I must say that for JEE MAIN sticking to NCERT & PYQs will be very helpful to you.

Sir i am currently in class 11 th and i just want to prepare for jee mains and advanced 2026 exam so give me some roadmap to achieve and also guide me for computer science
Ans: Shreya, I trust that you have already enrolled in a coaching center, whether it be online or in person, and have finished your eleventh syllabus. (1) If you have not yet created your own short-notes for the 11th syllabus that has been completed, prepare it and continue to revise them every three days until 2026, even after you have commenced studying the 12th syllabus in December 2024. (2) Review the questions that you have incorrectly answered or skipped in mock tests conducted by your Coaching Center and/or practiced independently. (3) In order to increase your rank/percentile by targeting computer science at a reputable college/institute, prioritize mathematics (although all three subjects are equally important). (4) You should be thorough with NCERT books, particularly those pertaining to chemistry, in conjunction with the materials provided by your coaching institute. (5) Have 1-2 reference books for each subject. Not exceeding two. (6) Review the questions that were incorrectly answered or skipped in your mock and practice exams and retake the test. It is advisable to maintain a distinct note-book for these types of questions, which should include answers and elucidating notes, in order to review them repeatedly for all three subjects. (7) Download the SYLLABUS of JEE Main 2025 (available on Google by searching for "JEE Main Information Bulletin") and print it out, as there will be no significant changes to the syllabus in 2026. Maintain it on your study table and continue to update the 11th syllabus chapters and concepts that you have covered to date by marking them with a checkmark. This will boost your confidence if you continue to update the same till November 2025. (8) A slight difference in Syllabus might be visible when you acquire the 2026 JEE Main / JEE Advanced Syllabus. The same can be resolved within 15 days to one month in 2025-26. (9) Increase your productivity by studying for 45 minutes to 1 hour, taking a 10-minute break, and then continuing for 45 minutes. (10) Take a 2-3 minute break every 45 minutes while practicing questions, whether offline or online. This break should consist of closing your eyes and taking long breaths to enhance your concentration and mental capacity. (11) Additionally, it is recommended that you acquire the 20-40 PREVIOUS years question paper book of JEE (Main & Advanced) from Amazon. Arihant's, Disha's, or MTG's publications are recommended. Once you have finished reading a chapter, practice and complete it to determine the extent to which you have comprehended the concepts and to identify areas that require improvement. (12) By October 2025, ensure that you have reviewed significantly more than 90% of the previous years questions. Your confidence will be further bolstered by this. (13) After the mock test is completed at your coaching center, clarify all incorrectly answered or ignored questions and continue to revise and practice them, as these types of questions will significantly disrupt your performance in the actual JEE. (14) If you are a regular school student, inquire with your class teacher about the minimum attendance requirement as outlined in the Board's regulations (State, CBSE, ICSE, etc.). Utilize the remaining 15% by taking time off and preparing for your JEE, if only 85% attendance is required. (15) THE MOST IMPORTANT Value Added Suggestion: Rather than solely relying on JEE, please participate in 5-7 entrance exams/counseling process with a JEE score for getting admission into any one of the private engineering colleges to have a variety of options to select the most suitable one. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Hello sir... will u plz guide for jee preparation 2026 as now initially score in classes is around 70percentile . Also tell me wen to join mock test
Ans: Sayali, Pre-Mock Test Preparation Steps: Foundation Review: Thoroughly analyze all incorrectly answered questions from previous mock tests, practice tests from your coaching center, and home practice sessions over the past two years. Create a comprehensive error log for systematic revision.

Content Mastery: Prioritize NCERT textbooks, especially Chemistry, as they form the foundation for JEE questions. Ensure complete understanding of coaching center materials and solve the last 20 years' JEE Main and JEE Advanced question papers before joining mock tests.

Study Timeline: Avoid introducing new concepts or topics after October. Focus entirely on consolidation, revision, and problem-solving practice during the final months.

Mock Test Selection and Timing: When to Join: Enroll in mock test programs by early October, but begin active practice from mid-October through mid-January (approximately four days before your actual JEE exam).

Choosing the Right Platform: Select mock tests from reputable coaching centers while considering your family's budget constraints. Alternatively, opt for cost-effective online platforms that offer user-friendly interfaces, instant scoring, and detailed explanations with comprehensive solution notes for each question.

Performance Management: Mindset Approach: Maintain consistent motivation regardless of fluctuating scores. Avoid comparing your performance with peers, as score variations are normal and expected throughout the preparation journey.

Error Analysis Protocol: Dedicate 2-3 days after each mock test to thoroughly understand every incorrectly answered question. Create a systematic revision schedule to prevent repeating the same mistakes.

Success Mantra: Focus on consistent improvement through regular practice, systematic error correction, and continuous revision rather than chasing perfect scores in individual tests. Important Suggestion: Have 3-4 back-up options by applying for other Engineering Entrance Exams of Private Coleges, instead of relying only on JEE. Wishing you the best of luck in your JEE and all other entrance exams!

Hi Sir, My son has secured a rank of 4095 in JEE Mains 2026, and we are also expecting a rank below 300 in KCET 2026. I would like your advice in finalizing the best college and branch among the following options: 1. NITK Surathkal – ECE (Home State), 2. NITK Surathkal – IT (through CSAB, Home State), 3. MNIT Allahabad – CSE, 4. IIIT Bangalore – CSE, 5.IIIT Hyderabad – ECE, 6.RVCE Bangalore – CSE. The fees at NITs are financially affordable for us, whereas the fees at IIIT Bangalore and IIIT Hyderabad are quite expensive. Considering all aspects, including placements, career growth, and overall value, which would be the best choice? Additionally, my son is unsure about his interest in hardcore coding. In that case, would ECE be a better option? Also, does ECE offer strong career potential?
Ans: Before addressing your question, I’d like to emphasize that no branch is inherently bad—every branch, including ECE, has its own strengths and opportunities. However, if your son is unsure about a hardcore coding or software-focused CSE branch, it’s wise to avoid it initially. He should remain adaptable, as his interests and the job market may evolve by his 2nd or 3rd year, possibly shifting his focus between ECE or other streams.

Regarding your question, it’s highly recommended to prioritize home-state institutions such as NIT Surathkal, IIIT Bengaluru, or RVCE Bengaluru. Since finances are a concern, finalizing admission in NIT Surathkal’s ECE branch is advisable, given its excellent placement record over the last few years, including highest packages exceeding ?50 lakhs for ECE graduates. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
