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!

Aadhar enrollment number is a unique number which students can find in the acknowledgement receipt received at the time of applying for Aadhar. Students should know that Aadhar enrollment number is not same as Aadhar number. At the time of filling JEE Main application form, candidates have to fill Aadhar Enrollment number and not Aadhar number.

In case candidates do not have Aadhar enrollment number, students can apply through Passport, PAN or ABC ID (Academic Bank of Credit ID). 

The answer to this question is a Yes. As per the exam pattern of JEE Main 2024, 4 marks would be awarded for every question answered correctly, while negative marking will be done for every incorrect answer. This implies that 1 mark is deducted every time a candidate answers the question wrongly.  Zero or no marks will be given to un-attempted questions.  

A fair amount of programming is involved in electronics and communication engineering (ECE). ECE students typically learn at least one programming language, such as C, C+, or Python, in their first year of studies. They then use this programming language in subsequent courses to develop software for microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and other electronic devices.

The concept of a single "the toughest" BTech branch doesn't quite hold true. The perceived difficulty depends heavily on your individual interests and strengths. ECE can be demanding as it requires strong math and physics skills and it also iInvolves understanding complex electronic principles.

Moreover, If compared to other branches:

• Some consider Civil or Mechanical Engineering to have more memorization and visualization.
• Computer Science Engineering may be less hardware-focused but have its own programming challenges.
