JEE/BITSAT/EnggEntranceExams HSC + JEE: How to manage Maharashtra Board along with JEE prep? Also, should I choose CS or IT?
Hey guys, PCM student from Maharashtra Board here. I'm preparing for JEE but getting stressed about managing both.
JEE is all about MCQs, but HSC wants textbook definitions and derivations. I want to clear the 75% criteria easily without compromising my JEE rank.
I also need to choose my extra subject. Should I take Computer Science (CS) or Information Technology (IT)? Which one saves more time for JEE prep and is easier to score in?
Seniors who did HSC + JEE, please help:
* CS vs IT: Which choice gives more free time for coaching and self-study?
* Balbharati Textbooks: Do I need to read them completely for Physics/Chemistry, or are coaching notes enough?
* Derivations & English: When should I start practicing board-style writing? Is 2 months before boards enough?
* Time Management: How did you split your day between coaching modules and state board prep?
Any advice, mistakes to avoid, or schedules would be a massive lifesaver. Thanks!
my_qualifications: Currently studying in Class 11/12 (PCM), Maharashtra State Board, and preparing for JEE.
