How hard is it to get a score like 180 in JEE Mains?

Scoring 180 out of 300 in JEE Mains is considered a very good score. It is not "easy" and requires dedicated preparation, but it is an achievable target for a serious aspirant.

A score of 180 typically places you in the 99th percentile or higher, which is generally sufficient to qualify for JEE Advanced and secure a seat in a good NIT for a desirable branch.

To achieve this score, you need:

• Strong Command: Deep conceptual understanding of almost all chapters in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
• Speed and Accuracy: The ability to solve problems quickly and accurately under time pressure.
• Strategic Attempt: Knowing which questions to attempt first and which ones to leave to avoid negative marking.

It is a challenging goal that reflects a high level of preparation and smart exam-taking skills.
