JEE Main 2021 Preparation Tips
JEE Main examination is considered as the most sought after exam that contains questions that are complex in nature even though it adheres to the topics mentioned in the syllabus. However, with enough practice, diligence, and discipline to study, candidates can go through the exam successfully and get admission in their desired college. Even according to the Director of IIT Delhi – V Ramgopal Rao, the JEE exam is designed to be tough as to eliminate the huge amount of candidates that apply and sift the best of the best to be admitted in premier institutes.
The recent challenge for students has been to study from home. According to how their school or coaching classes operate, students may seek assistance from online lectures and study sessions. Meanwhile, NTA provides textbooks and study material on their website for students so that they can study conveniently from home. However, students do need a comprehensive plan to study and get a good ranking in the JEE Main exam.
Here are a few critical tips that students should bear in mind while studying for JEE Main:
- Give equal importance to all topics at first and cover the complete syllabus including the NCERT textbooks.
- While keeping that in mind, plan a time-table to determine how you aim to complete the syllabus and achieve your goal.
- After preparing a timetable, ensure that you focus on all subjects and get adequate rest as well.
- After you complete each chapter, you can practice individual chapters on Embibe to thoroughly grasp everything.
- Once you have completed the syllabus, you can take mock tests for JEE Main that will help you identify weak areas that need to be polished.
- By continuously practicing all subjects and strengthening weaknesses, the only concern left is to ensure that you can complete questions in time.
- By giving more mock tests, you get a better understanding of dividing time between different questions and getting the most out of the exam.

JEE Main 2021 Mock Tests
JEE Main 2021 is a 3 hour exam, which means that students need to be attentive and vigilant during the exam and complete it with best possible speed and accuracy. To achieve this, students must attempt as many mock tests as possible.
By taking a mock exam, students get a sense of how much time is required to complete all questions, how difficult questions eat up a lot of time, and how to balance time and complete the exam. Considering that every wrong answer leads to deduction of 1 mark, it is important to be accurate in reading questions. Any kind of haste during the exam may lead to failed attempts and every mark counts.
To help students attain a good ranking, mock tests serve as a good training ground to cover all subjects and identify weak areas. JEE Main 2021 Mock Tests by Embibe are designed to cover each and every topic of the syllabus and provide detailed reports to show time taken for each question, accuracy, weak areas and tips to improve your score.

JEE Main 2021 Percentile Vs Marks
JEE Main scores are declared in the form of marks scored in the exam. While the final results provide both marks and percentile, students would generally prefer to determine their ranking on the basis of how many marks they scored. Let’s look at how you can determine your percentile from your marks:
The formula to calculate percentile score for JEE Main is:
Percentile Score of a Candidate = 100 x (Number of candidates who secured a raw score (or actual score) EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate) / (Total number of candidates who appeared in that session)
Let’s take an example to understand this:
The number of candidates that appeared in a particular session are 50,000, and the highest scored marks for the session are 275 (out of total 300 marks). Also, the number of candidates who scored the highest is 1 (there can be more than one), and the number of candidates that scored less than the highest (274) are 50,000. Accordingly, if a candidate has scored 120, and the number of candidates who have scored less than 120 are 37244,
Percentile Score secured by the topper, Candidate A = (100 x 50,000)/50,000 = 100
However, the Percentile scored by Candidate B = (100 x 37244)/50,000 = 74.488
Accordingly, by determining the percentile, students can calculate their rank and roughly determine if they are due for JEE Advanced or enter their desired colleges. Eventually at the result date, NTA releases the list of toppers and JEE Main cutoff scores.
It is also ideal to thoroughly understand Normalization and Calculation of JEE Main Percentile to examine how NTA calculates the score and similarly approach the calculation of rank by looking at the trend analysis for the last 5 years.
