JEE Main 2026 Application Process


JEE Main 2026: The application window for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 is currently open. As per the National Testing Agency (NTA) schedule, candidates can submit their applications for Session 1 until November 27th. The examination is set to take place from January 21st to January 30th, 2026. With the application deadline approaching, students are encouraged to enhance their exam readiness while also preparing for their board exams.


Effective Revision Techniques

As many students finalize their preparations for JEE Main 2026, it’s crucial to shift focus towards revision. Here are some effective strategies:



  1. Utilize concise notes and flashcards for quick revision.


  2. Conduct chapter-wise tests and maintain an error log to track and rectify common mistakes.


  3. Prioritize problem-solving over revisiting theoretical concepts.


  4. Regularly review key reactions, concepts, and formulas at least twice weekly.



Mock Test Strategy

Implement a robust mock test strategy:



  1. Commit to taking at least one mock test weekly, increasing to 3-4 as the exam date nears.


  2. Post-test, analyze your accuracy, time management, and identify topics where mistakes occurred.


  3. Practice completing the mock test within the allotted 2 hours and 45 minutes, followed by a review session.



Balancing Board Exam Preparation

While preparing for JEE Main, it’s essential to also focus on 12th-grade board exams, as many subjects overlap with the JEE syllabus:



  1. Utilize NCERT textbooks, particularly for Chemistry, to strengthen your foundation.


  2. Dedicate at least 25% of your JEE preparation time to board exam studies.



Tips for Achieving a Higher Score

To enhance your performance:



  1. Avoid excessive reliance on online resources; stick to your primary study materials.


  2. Daily, note down one formula and one mistake in your notebook for weekly revision.


  3. Establish a routine of regular revision.


  4. Prevent burnout by taking short breaks, maintaining a healthy diet, and following a balanced routine.


  5. Consistent effort, even 6-8 hours daily, can lead to remarkable results.


  6. Prioritize mental health; it can significantly impact your performance.


  7. Stay positive and motivated throughout your preparation.


  8. Avoid comparisons with peers; focus on your personal goals.


  9. Incorporate relaxation and breathing techniques to manage exam-related stress.



Key Considerations

According to JEE expert Ramesh Batlish from Aakash Invictus, students should remember:



  1. Perfection is not the goal; persistence is key.


  2. Maintain communication with teachers and mentors to clarify doubts.
