Candidates preparing for IITs are only required to appear for the JEE Advanced entrance exam after qualifying JEE Main. Students who who secure above the 98th percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session 2 should start preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 immediately. Those who score between 95th and 98th percentile should focus on improving their JEE Main score by taking multiple mock tests and practicing previous year's question papers. By analysing their strengths and weaknesses, candidates can identify their areas of proficiency and topics where they need improvement. If they can achieve full marks in their practice sessions, they can start preparing for JEE Advanced. However, if they cannot score full marks, it is recommended that they appear for multiple mock test series for more practice. 

Since the category of the candidate is not mentioned, I'm assuming the same to be under the General All India. To get admission into IIT Guwahati for BTech courses, the closing cutoff ranks ranged between 623 and 9178. Some of the highly competitive courses includes CSE, with the closing cutoff rank of 623, Data Science and AI, with the last-round closing rank of 995, Electrical and Communication Engineering, with the last-round closing rank of 1658. So to target the highly competitive courses, candidate must target a rank of under 2000. 

The allotment of UCEED 2024 seats will be based on:

1. UCEED 2023 merit rank of the candidate and
