After a long anxious wait the dates for JEE Main 2020 has finally been announced. The exam will be held between 17th and 22nd July 2020. Although students have had an extended preparation time ever since we got into preventive lockdown on account of COVID 19 pandemic, in the absence of a specific target exam date, students were finding it bit difficult to concentrate. Now the students do have a specific date in front of them to look forward to. With little more than 60 days remaining for JEE Main 2020, a good preparation is still possible to better one’s chances of securing a good percentile and an All India Rank. Students must have completed their syllabus. In the current scenario, engineering aspirants can be categorized into the following 3 types:
1. Extremely well prepared – these students are eagerly waiting for the exam, but now for them the challenge is to maintain high level of preparedness over the next 60 days.
2. Well prepared but there are several gaps and loopholes – these students are happy that the extended time has offered them an opportunity to fix and uplift their preparation level.
3. Not well prepared – these students have strong IQ and are capable of catching up fast, so this lockdown and subsequent time has offered them a new opportunity, altogether.
So, their entire focus should be on enhancing existing skills and capabilities, filling in the learning gaps, fine tuning of existing skills, developing efficiency and remain physically fit.

2) Physics
Thermodynamics, Atomic Structure, Radioactivity are common between Physics & Chemistry, so it will offer double advantage. Other topics like Electrostatics, Optics, Mechanics
3) Chemistry
Practice by writing inorganic chemistry, chemical reactions for better memorization.
Topics with lots of information like Environmental chemistry, chemistry in everyday life should be read several times
Practice
It is extremely important to be in question solving mode. So, after revising every concept/topic, solve an unsolved question. One must NOT refer to solution without an attempt to solve the question. So, sufficient time must be devoted. Identify mistakes and/or weak area & fix them instantly. Do keep a tab on the time taken to solve a question. You have to be quick and accurate too. High speed with low accuracy would prove to be detrimental.Do focus on practice by writing.
