What To Do After Taking JEE Main 2018

Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), which took place on Sunday, i.e., Apr 8, has opened the gates for other entrance examinations in the country. Over 10 lakh candidates appeared for the sixth edition of JEE Main, including abroad examination centres, out of which only 2.2 lakh candidates will be shortlisted for the next round of the selection process, JEE Advanced.

There is a mixed reaction from the students who appeared for JEE Main. A few students felt that the mathematics paper was neither easy nor tough. However, many students felt that the physics section was very tough; they complained that time was not sufficient to attempt all the questions.

Aspirants from all over the country have expressed one common opinion - the calculation part in physics section consumed a lot of time. After JEE Main, students should immediately start assessing the different possible ways they can go now that the exam is done.

You might be wondering why we mentioned the counselling prior to JEE Advanced. Students should know about the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling prior to the JEE Main results. If you are not eligible for JEE Advanced, the score in JEE Main will be considered for admissions into the top engineering institutes. So, know all about the JoSAA and its process.

Opt Other Entrance Examinations

Undoubtedly, JEE stands tall in the country for admissions to engineering courses. If you found that you failed to meet your dream with JEE, start preparing for other national entrance examinations, such as BITSAT.
