Hello Ganesh,
There is no shortcut of success. If you want to achieve 170 marks then you need to study hard work hard. Only this way, you can score 170+ marks. You have enough time to prepare well. You should focus on your weak areas. Analysis your strength and previous years question paper. Then start preparing accordingly.
Good Luck.

Scoring 170 in Jee Mains..

First U can ask yourself how dedicated you are..

170 in Jee Mains is not at all strenuous keeping in mind the duration of 4 long months..

But I think 170 in Mains couldn't fetch you a good Nit with a choicable branch of yours..

Keeping in mind the present scenario..So I would recommend you to perceive a higher score as target..maybe between 205–215..

Which would suffice your exigency..

According to me, In order to achieve a score above 200, you should start practicing the NCERT problems..and never overlook them..

Chemistry is the easiest part of Mains and way more mark scoring..As 90% questions are basic NCERT level..So u can easily score 100+ in Chemistry section..

Mathematics lies in the province of mediocrity.. questions are neither too tough nor too easy..So I would recommend you to practice questions from NCERT sampler book..as questions there ,are little bit above NCERT standard.. solving RD Sharma is a good option though..If adopted and practised thoroughly.. this section would fetch you.. easily a score of 50–60+..

Now comes the toughest part of Mains..i.e.Physics section..Here questions are way above the NCERT level..and they mostly focus on your concepts and not on your problem solving skills..So I would recommend you to go through Concepts of Physics by HC Verma … If practiced in a sincere way, this section could easily fetch you a score of 50+..

So finally my Verdict..

  1. Never ever procastinate..
  2. Be regular, be sincere..not needed to be too hardworking (like studying for 12–14 hrs a day)
  3. Never neglect NCERT..
  4. Never neglect Chemistry..(The major reason for my downfall in my rank)
  5. Don't leave any chapter..(At least memorise the formulas and equations..the questions can be damn easy and you wouldn't get a chance to regret)
  6. Revise Chemistry two days prior to your exam..
  7. Plenty of practice(Model papers,mock tests and all)
  8. Ample sleep before the ultimatum
