That's actually the preferred method. You hook up the jumper cables and attempt to start. If the car does not start immediately, you stop cranking and you start the other car, let the other car charge the first car for a bit, and then retry with the other car idling.

What can be wrong if the car does not start but the battery light shows.?

Among other things; Just because a battery has approximately 12 volts does not mean it is good.

Quickest way to rule out a battery is with a jump start.
