Hello Aspirant,

With the changes in the examination pattern of Joint Entrance Examination, it has become as important to study for your board exams as for engineering entrance exams. Instead of considering only marks scored in the JEE, marks of board exams are also considered under the new normalization rule, the plan needs to be changed when it comes to JEE preparation.

The exam is held in the Online Mode only.

In the JEE Main online exam, each student is assigned a computer in the test center. When the test begins, the questions appear as multiple choice questions. After reading and solving the question, the correct bubble against the answer has to be selected and then the student can click on the “Next” button to move on to the next question. If a student is not familiar with online exams, it will not be very difficult. The student should only know how to click using a mouse and not have difficulty reading on-screen questions.

Befriend the NCERT books

Teachers, parents and many others might have already told you to study from NCERT books. However, we advise you to be absolutely thorough with each and every topic and sub topic given in Class 11 NCERT Books and Class 12 NCERT Books of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Not only should the theory be understood properly, but each question should be attempted at least once.

Especially in the case of JEE Main Mathematics , a student who can easily solve NCERT Math book miscellaneous exercises can as easily score more than 90% in JEE Main maths.

Refer only a limited number of JEE Main reference books

There are too many books available in the market that claim “Quick course in JEE” or “Best book for JEE Main” and so on. You must identify one-two books only and stick to them. Using too many books will only confuse you and slow down your preparation.

Use one book for theory, one for practice.

It is best to refer book by a good author/authors to study and understand the concept, and use another book to solve practice problems for JEE Main .

Always practice questions simultaneously. While studying, you may think you have understood everything perfectly, but only when you attempt questions can you actually analyze where your understanding is weak and needs to be done again. If you finish one chapter, the next day attempt at least 20-30 questions of that. If you can answer correctly at least 95% of all the questions you attempt, you can move on to the next chapter. If not, focus on the areas you are getting wrong.

Do not hide from the weak areas

Every student has at least 5-10 topics he/she feels are very tough and cannot be done at all. However, make sure to not let go of those topics and practice them from the initial days of your preparations. You can never be sure whether a question in JEE Main will come from that topic or not.
