Hard work with good deal of planning usually bestows success, however, on many occasions, the fruit of success still eludes us.

However, what one should not forget is that there are options always. They are also known as alternatives.

The word about alternatives means, the other exams or courses students can take up. Students who feel, their JEE Mains performance is not up to the mark, can go for other options.

This stands true for all the students who could not put up an impressive show in the JEE Mains exam.

There are various possibilities to look into. First of all let us know that JEE Main exam is held twice a year.

If the candidate has not managed to get a good score in JEE Main exam held in January, he or she can look forward to the one conducted in April with a sound preparation.

Let us remember that JEE Main is conducted twice a year and best of the two is always taken.

Those who recorded good JEE Mains performance (got good scores) can apply of NITs or IIITs.

Candidates keen on IITs, have to apply for JEE Advanced, to do that, JEE Mains performance has to be impressive.

Due to various reasons, JEE Mains performance can remain unimpressive, there are alternatives also for those who are willing to consider them.

This article informs about the alternatives that can be considered by those who could not get an impressive JEE Mains performance.

There is another option for students to consider in form of entrance exams conducted by reputed private educational institutions. VITEEE, SRMJEEE and BITS Pilani.

A pass in these exams will give students admission into engineering courses of their choice. It is a good choice to consider these private colleges as many of them have good placement records also.

No impressive show in JEE Main does not mean a closure of choices. Thankfully, there is an option of lateral entry into engineering programmers. Certain colleges are offering B.Tech in the lateral entry scheme. These courses can be joined after completing B.Sc course in any of the core science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Electronics.

The route for a good career lies even in non-engineering options also. Engineering is not the only way for fostering a career in the technical arena. Non-engineering courses like Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), Master of Computer Applications (MCA) can also be considered for availing jobs in the technical arena.

Determined effort will always yield results. If an aspirant is determined to go for engineering then a re-attempt of JEE is also an option.

But one has to ensure that preparation is better than the previous time. Candidates must also do a rethink on their preparation strategy previously, must ponder over the faults done then and rectify them and go ahead with preparation.
