Strategy for Aspirants
To maximize chances of admission, aspirants should thoroughly research the university's previous year rank trends and use this data to strategically fill their preferences. It is advisable to start with higher-ranked categories followed by less competitive ones.
The counseling process involves multiple rounds of seat allocation based on merit lists released after each round. Candidates must log in during designated slots to accept or reject offers made by the university. Rejection of an offer leads to a loss of that seat, and subsequent rounds may be conducted if seats remain unfilled.
Aspirants should prepare extensively for JEE Advanced by focusing on conceptual understanding rather than rote learning. Regular mock tests, practice papers, and time management strategies are crucial for success. Additionally, maintaining physical fitness and mental well-being during preparation is essential.
