TIPS:
1.       JEE main is one of the most difficult entrance exams in India. Not only the hard-working but a study in a planned manner is necessary for best performance.
2.       There will be 5 questions in each subject whose answer will be in numeric form i.e. 0 to 9. This shows the difficulty level becomes more. However there are no negative marks for the wrong answer of numeric type, so students must attempt these questions.
3.       On another hand, 20 questions will be of MCQ type in each subject. Wrong answer in MCQ type will lead to one negative marking, so students must be very careful while answering these questions.
4.       There may be many students with the same total marks. The merit for these tie cases will be decided giving priority on Math, then physics, then Chemistry as indicated in the above table. So high scoring in math will be of advantage. 
5.       During the preparation on subjects, students are advised to practice on e-mock papers. E mock papers along with information are available on sabakuch.com. There are free as well as paid sets on sabakuch.com. Practicing on e-mock papers will certainly improve scoring in final exams.
