I am an ICSE Class 10 student. I consider myself an average student, and as I move into Class 11, I am starting my JEE journey through online coaching. Should I use Cengage (B.M. Sharma) or Arihant (D.C. Pandey) for JEE Main + Advanced prep?
JEE Main: Chapter Wise Weightage | Syllabus | Most Scoring Topics: Jan | April | Test Series
Sample Papers 2027 : Physics | Chemistry | Maths | Inorganic Chemistry | PYQ's
New: CSAB 2026 Counselling CP | Free 1:1 Counselling | PYQs (Matrices & Determinants)
Comprehensive Guide: IIT's | NIT's | IIIT's | Foreign Universities in India | Study Guide
If you consider yourself an average student, you can start with D.C. Pandey (Arihant) as it explains concepts in a simpler way and helps build strong basics for JEE .
Cengage by B.M. Sharma is more detailed and has tougher problems, which are useful for higher-level practice. You can begin with D.C. Pandey and move to Cengage once your concepts become stronger. Also focus on solving previous years’ JEE questions along with your coaching material.
