JEE Main 2026 Session 2 is scheduled to take place from April 2 to April 8. During this period, more than 1.4 million students are expected to appear for the examination. Meanwhile, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has already released the guidelines regarding JEE Main 2026 Session 2. 

Consequently, the preparations for these 1.4 million-plus candidates are now complete. While everyone's objective is to achieve a high score in JEE Main Session 2, experts believe that securing an excellent score is not possible without adhering to certain "golden rules."

In this regard, we spoke with JEE expert Ramesh Batlish. JEE expert Ramesh Batlish has outlined several "golden rules" for achieving a high score in JEE Main Session 2. Let us explore these rules in detail.

**Follow These Rules on the Day of the Exam**
According to JEE expert Ramesh Batlish—who is associated with a private coaching institute—the actual day of the examination plays a crucial role in securing a good score in JEE Main Session 2. He advises candidates to adhere to specific rules on the morning of the exam day and just before the examination commences. Let us find out which rules candidates should follow.

**On the Morning of the Exam Day**

Wake up early and remain calm. Avoid excessive last-minute studying.
Eat a light meal; avoid oily or heavy food.
Carry all essential items (Admit Card, ID proof, etc.) with you.
Reach the examination center early to avoid last-minute stress.
Refrain from rote memorization or cramming in the final moments.

**Once the Exam Begins**

Do not start solving questions immediately.
First, take a quick overview of the entire question paper.
Attempt to identify the easy questions.
Mark the difficult questions to be attempted later.
Formulate a clear mental strategy before you begin solving the questions.
Remain calm and composed throughout the examination.
Maintain a consistent pace throughout the exam. Solve the questions at a pace that is neither too fast nor too slow.
**A Section-Wise Strategy Is Key to Success**
JEE expert Ramesh Batlish explains that the most important "golden rule" for the JEE Main exam is to formulate a section-wise strategy. By doing so, candidates can easily achieve a good score.

**Section-Wise Strategy**

Start with your strongest subject.
Attempt the Chemistry section first (as it allows for quick scoring).
Next, tackle the Physics section.
Finally, solve the Mathematics questions (as they tend to be the most time-consuming).
Prioritize your own strengths rather than simply following conventional norms.
**Effective Time Management Is Essential**
JEE expert Ramesh Batlish emphasizes that effective time management is crucial for achieving a good score. He also outlines several "golden rules" to facilitate this:

Do not waste more than 1 to 1.5 minutes on any single question.
If you get stuck on a question, mark it for review later and move on.
Reserve the last 10 to 15 minutes to review the entire paper.
Be mindful of negative marking; therefore, avoid guessing answers.
Do not spend an excessive amount of time on any single difficult question.

**These Rules Are Essential for Every Candidate**
Aim to answer fewer questions correctly rather than answering a large number of questions incorrectly.
Maintain the right mindset for the examination.
Understand that if the paper is difficult, the cut-off scores are likely to be lower.
Conversely, if the paper is easy, accuracy becomes absolutely critical.
Have faith in your preparation; avoid attempting any new experiments or strategies during the exam.
