FAQs

Is 120 a good score in JEE Mains?

120 marks in JEE Mains is considered an average score even as your expected percentile may range between 95-96%. A good score should have a 98-99%.

Which is the toughest section in JEE Mains?

Mathematics is considered to be the most challenging subject in JEE Main due to its vast syllabus, complex problem-solving requirements, and the requirement for consistent practice and effort. However, with the right approach and strategies, candidates can successfully overcome the challenges and excel in the examination.

What is the most difficult physics chapter in JEE Main?

One of the most challenging yet crucial subjects for JEE Main Physics is Heat and Thermodynamics. Candidates who struggle with grasping the practical applications often face difficulty tackling related questions. This area encompasses two key aspects: conduction and convection (heat transfer).

Which are some of the high scoring topics in JEE Main Physics?

Some of the high scoring topics in JEE Main Physics are Current electricity, Oscillations and sound, Heat and thermodynamics, Newton’s laws of motion and Modern physics.

Which subject is easier in JEE Main?

Chemistry in JEE Main involves more information than concepts. So, it becomes easier for the candidates to score in this section than Physics and Mathematics.

How can I choose the best books for JEE Main 2024 Physics?

Candidates should keep into consideration factors such as clarity of explanations, the number of practice problems, and recommendations from subject experts and previous JEE Main toppers when selecting books. Additionally, they should align their book choices with your learning style and needs.

Dear student, Your chances of getting CS, IS, or EC at Siddaganga Institute of Technology with a KCET rank of 19,889, 3B with Kannada medium and rural quota are slim. The closing rank for CS in 2022 was 13,015, and for IS it was 15,657. However, the cutoffs may vary slightly in 2023, so it is still possible that you could get one of these branches if there are no major changes to the number of seats or the number of students applying. Here are the closing ranks for CS, IS, and EC in Siddaganga Institute of Technology in 2022: …
