Hi aspirant,

I will be very frank with your doubt and in simple words the answer is NO.

Now, lets dig deep into the reasons "why not".

To be honest, all questions in JEE Mains come from NCERT and if you are very thorough with your NCERT books i.e. the syllabus prescribed, you are good to go.

Having said that, it is also true that NCERT books provide you with very basic knowledge of the curriculum and to crack something like Mains, you need to practise some intermediate level questions.

Also Mains being a competitive exam, if most of your competitors have practiced high-level (difficult) questions, and you have not, automatically you will be on the backseat to start with.

Yes JEE Main might be cracked by studying NCERT Textbooks of PCM in Detail and taking note of all the Exemplar Questions. However, to secure a good Percentile or Rank, this might not be enough. Apart from getting started with JEE Main Preparation using NCERT, you may need to dive into depth of preparation referring to various other books.
