100 marks is closer than it sounds. You do not need to solve half the paper. You need about 27 correct answers and very few wrong ones.

27 correct × 4 = 108. Take away 8 wrong × 1 = 8. That is 100. In recent sessions, 100 marks has usually meant roughly 90+ percentile for many shifts, which is close to the General qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced.
| Correct | Wrong | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | 0 | 100 |
| 27 | 8 | 100 |
| 30 | 15 | 105 |
| 30 | 20 | 100 |
Look at the last two rows. Attempting 50 questions with only 30 right gives the same score as 27 right with 8 wrong. Accuracy is the cheapest way to 100.
| Subject | Target | Focus chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry | 12 correct | Coordination Compounds, p-Block, Chemical Bonding, Biomolecules, mole concept, organic named reactions from NCERT |
| Physics | 9 correct | Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Electrostatics basics, Units and Measurements, Semiconductors |
| Maths | 6 correct | Matrices and Determinants, Vectors and 3D, Sequence and Series, Statistics, Binomial Theorem |
| Day | Plan |
|---|---|
| Mon–Fri | One chapter from the list: NCERT 1 hour, then 25 PYQs |
| Saturday | Revise the week's chapters, redo wrong PYQs |
| Sunday | Full mock at 9 AM, then 2 hours of analysis |
About 25 correct with no wrong answers, or 27 correct with up to 8 wrong.
In recent sessions, around 90+ percentile in many shifts, but it varies by shift. Use the percentile calculator for an estimate.
Yes, for most students who study consistently. Focus on high-frequency chapters, PYQs and accuracy.
Chemistry, for most students, because many questions are direct from NCERT.
