Hello student ,

Sure you can prepare for jee mains in 1st year because if you see the syllabus of 1st year engineering that is quite similar to class 12th so it becomes quite easy . But the key points you can remember is as follows -

1.revise once atleast your previous notes of chemistry because it is very scoring in jee mains and takes less time to attempt .

2.practice two questions of math from every topic of mathematics daily . This will help you to revise all concepts of maths.

3 . For physics it is less scoring in jee mains so you can prepare it after when you are done with maths and chemistry .

Hope it helps !
