The application forms for a few of the top engineering entrance exams in India to be held in 2025 will be released soon while registration for others will be opened in due course of time. One of the most common queries asked by candidates is regarding the important dates, exam pattern, syllabus etc of one or multiple exams. But with more than 30 engineering exams currently being conducted in the country, this confusion is likely to prevail. Check out important details regarding top engineering entrance exams in India.
Q: How would I know my JEE Advanced exam centre?
Candidates will only know their allotted JEE Advanced exam centre after the release of the admit card. There is no way to determine the test centre prior to this. The examination authority assigns a test centre in the city of the candidate's first preference, as specified in the application form. Therefore, candidates can be assured that they will receive a test centre in their chosen first-preference city. However, the specific venue details will be available only on the admit card. Once the JEE Advanced admit card is released, candidates should promptly check their test city and centre information. To avoid any confusion, it is recommended that candidates visit the centre at least once before the exam day.
Q: How to crack JEE Mains in first attempt?
Hi aspirant!
Clearing the JEE Main exam in first attempt is not a difficult task. If we see the year over year statistics, the ratio of students who clear JEE Main in first attempt is high in comparison to students who dropped a year after class 12. One thing that makes it easy to clear JEE Main with class 12 is that students are in regular touch of most JEE syllabus. To score good marks in JEE Main in the first attempt, it is advised that you study class 11 and 12 topics thoroughly, clear all the concepts and solve mock test papers. Also, NCERT books which you study in class 11 and 12 are the best books for JEE Main preparation. Students must study NCERT properly and solve all the questions in the book and do not memorize the concepts as some students do rather understand the concepts.
Hope this cleared your doubt. Best wishes!

The time-period required to complete the MHT CET preparation varies. Every student has their own pace of study. Ideally, 3-month time is good enough for completing the MHT CET preparation. Students who have started preparing from class 11 or 12 can easily prepare for MHT CET in 6 months considering the topics of CET syllabus have already been studied in class 11 and 12.
MHT CET preparation is most effective with class 11 and 12 as almost 90-95 percent topics are similar in both exams. This way students can easily complete the entire MHT CET syllabus as well as syllabus of class 11 and 12. After the board exams, students get 2-3 month time where they can focus entirely on MHT CET.
Students who have started late for the MHT CET exam can make a 6-month plan where in the first three months they have to focus on revising the syllabus studied in class 11 and 12. In the next two months’ focus on solving questions of MHT CET and analyzing the mistakes being made, if any. The last one month should be focused on solving mock tests and MHT CET previous year question papers
