In 2021 with 4 attempts to crack the JEE 2021 Mains entrance test, smart strategic planning for the exam can take you to the success. Let’s Explore how…

Kindly note that: The information provided in this article is just an experienced advice to the students to help them in making the most out of the 4 attempts in JEE Main 2021 for their success. We’re not asking to take this advice to be considered as a substitute for professional advice.

Things have changed for the JEE Main aspirants this year. We all know that this year, the National Testing Agency is conducting not 2 but 4 JEE Main entrance exams for students to get into engineering colleges in India. As per the 4 attempts that are going to be held, the best out of four attempts will be considered for the final percentile. All the four attempts are scheduled to be held from February to April 2021.

How many attempts should you take?

Well, we’ll suggest you to take all four JEE Main attempts if it is possible for you. Taking the all 4 attempts will not only increase your chances of getting a better percentile, but can also majorly contribute to get a realistic ‘mock’ test experience. The positives of doing this is that, you can get to know your weak topics, understand how an actual JEE exam pressure and environment feels like, and also to get into a more practical exam mindset. If you feel that you’re lacking in some topics or subject, you can thoroughly analyze yourself and can work on your weaknesses and improve your chances for getting selected in the next JEE Main attempt.

Considering your CBSE board exams, it is possible that your CBSE board examination dates may clash with one of the JEE Main attempts. In that case, you might have to skip one of your JEE Main 2021 attempts. As per the CBSE’s official date-sheets it is possible that most board exams are expected to be conducted late in April and May. We strongly suggest you to prepare for your JEE Main attempts to fit around your CBSE Board preparation as well, otherwise things can get really heavy and messy for you and can impact on your final results. Considering the same, you can take an example that, if you are from CBSE board, the exams for which are scheduled for May, then you have to deliver your best performance in March or April JEE Main entrance exams as you will be preparing for your CBSE Board exams from April onwards.

Some disciplines to follow for JEE Main 2021 success:

1. Take Mock Tests frequently

Take All-India Mock Test series every 3-4 days to test your preparedness. If one can manage to take mock tests every day, then it can seriously contribute to a much bigger success. You can take book based mock tests but we’d strongly recommend you to go with the Online computerized mock tests so that you can become comfortable with the online exam experience and interface over this period of time. We’d like to recommend you to take JEE Main 2021 – Test Series. We’re recommending this test series as this JEE Main 2021 test series comprises of 6 full syllabus tests carefully crafted by subject experts and IITians from all over the country.

2. Analyze your attempts

As the February JEE Main 2021 attempt is done and results are released, you can download the official answer key from the official NTA website and tally your correct and incorrect answers thoroughly which can definitely reveal your strong and weak subject points thus, helping you in making your weak concepts more stronger and to develop a better strategy for next attempt.

You can mark your strong and weak topics based on different color schemes as follows :

3. Revise, Revise and Revise… (The success Mantra)

Your persistent revision is mandatory and it is highly recommended to keep your self-made notes handy. Moreover, if you’re not taking NCERT books seriously then this is severely going to effect your exam performance badly. We’re not recommending to ignore reference books and to stay completely dependent on NCERTs. But, one must understand that NCERT’s are the core and the base of JEE Main Exam, so complete NCERT’s on your very first priority then prepare with reference books to strengthen your topics for exam success.

4. Avoiding wasting time on new concepts. 

You must remember that it is not the time to pick completely new topics, putting some serious amount of time in those topics and holding your (Blue) marked topics. Focus on your strengths and weaknesses instead of creating new high hurdles for you. Again, we highly recommend you to solve mock test papers and previous year JEE Main papers on a very frequent basis.

5. Don’t forget about board exams.

Solve mock test papers for boards too along with your JEE Main 2021 preparation. Remember that you have to manage both the exams, boards and JEE Main 2021 effectively to achieve success. There are people out there who give advises to JEE Aspirants that “just focus on JEE Main exam, Boards don’t matter”. You must remember that, if you are a true success minded spirit you must learn to balance efficiently and work hard to achieve success on both ends.

Now, After 1st Attempt…

As the 1st attempt in February 2021 is done and results are already out…If your score is satisfactory to you and to the optimum qualifying standards then nothing can be more good than this. But, if your score is not good and needs heavy improvements then don’t be depressed. It happens. Now it’s time to prepare for the second attempt. Don’t forget that JEE Advanced that is your target and you have to achieve your target no matter what.

It’s time for the Second Attempt…

The second attempt is in March. It would be wise to score a good percentile in the first couple of attempts, so that you have ample time to prepare for the Boards and JEE Advanced as well. Nevertheless, after the second attempt, take notes and improve upon the topics that you might have repeatedly found difficult. Make it your goal to improve your performance in these topics.

Third Attempt after that… (Consider this your last chance for this year)

We suggest you to consider this your last attempt. You won’t have much time after the fourth attempt to focus on revision for JEE Advanced. You have already had practice from the first two attempts, and you only get one more chance after the April attempt. So, take this attempt seriously, and give it your best shot.

Now, that you have only one attempt left. Those who have scored well in any of the previous attempts can now start focusing on your preparation for JEE Advanced. Just take weekly mock tests for JEE Main. You have practiced enough to score well in the fourth test without any further special effort.

For those who didn’t score as well as you wanted, this is your last final chance. Make an effective strategy from the previously mentioned tips, execute the plan for the month and give it your best.

After the 4th Attempt…

You can now safely forget about JEE Main. Celebrate that you have overcome one of the hurdles and lay down your plans for other major engineering exams like BITSAT or JEE Advanced if that’s in your radar. Preparation is the same for this exam as well, only type and difficulty of questions changes.

All the best!
