How an Average Student Can Crack IIT – A Heartfelt Roadmap to Conquer JEE & Boards Together

 Introduction:

“You don’t need to be a topper to crack IIT.

You just need to be consistent, focused, and most importantly – emotionally strong.”

This blog is for every student who has ever called themselves “average.”

Because guess what? Even average students reach the top – if their heart is in the game.

Who Is This Blog For?

This roadmap is not for born geniuses.

It’s for the struggler.

The one who got 60% in Class 10 and still dreams of IIT.

The one who doubts himself but still wakes up every morning and opens the book.

This is for YOU.

The Real Roadmap to IIT – From Average to Extraordinary


Step 1: Get a Clear Vision – Why Do You Want IIT?

Not just for the salary.

Not just for the campus.

But because it transforms you.

IIT teaches you discipline, time management, and the power of focus.

Write your “Why” on paper. Read it every day.

“A person who has a strong why can survive any how.”


Step 2: Know Your Battlefield – Boards + JEE

You have to balance both. No skipping.

Subject Board Focus JEE Focus

Physics NCERT, Theory Concepts, Numericals

Chemistry NCERT line by line Logic + Memory + PYQs

Maths Step-by-step method Speed, Accuracy, Tricks

NCERT is your best friend for both. Never ignore it.


 Step 3: Daily Routine – A Balanced Strategy

Sample Timetable:

🕘 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM → Revise Boards chapters

🏫 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM → School time (Be attentive)

🔁 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM → Solve JEE problems

📘 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM → Revise formulas + PYQs

🧘 Before bed → Visualize your dream college. Calm your mind.

Focus on consistency, not perfection.


Step 4: Study Smart, Not Just Hard

Tips:

One notebook for each subject's formulas

Revise weekly (10 mins per formula page)

Solve previous years’ questions for both Boards & JEE

Use limited resources, but use them deeply:

Physics: HC Verma, NCERT

Chemistry: NCERT, MTG, Previous Year

Math: NCERT, Arihant series, Coaching modules (if available)


Step 5: Handle the Emotional Storm



Yes, you’ll feel demotivated sometimes.

Yes, you may fail a test.

But remember: JEE is not just a test of knowledge. It’s a test of patience.

“You may be average in marks, but let your passion be extraordinary.”

When the mind says quit, let the heart say – one more chapter!


 Step 6: Progress > Perfection

Don't try to be the best every day.

Just be better than yesterday.

If you solve 5 more questions than last week – celebrate it.

If you understood one topic you feared – you're winning.

 Top IITs to Dream About

IIT Strength

IIT Bombay Campus + Culture + Placement

IIT Delhi Innovation + Startups

IIT Kanpur Deep Tech & Core

IIT Madras International Rankings

IIT Kharagpur History + Global Alumni

Print out a photo of your dream IIT gate. Stick it near your study table.

Final Message:

You may call yourself average.

But inside you is someone who still dares to dream.

And in this world, that’s the rarest kind of strength.


Believe, IIT isn’t just for the toppers –

It’s for the warriors who never gave up.

 Keep going. You’re already on your way.

Call to Action:

If this blog gave you hope, share it with a friend who needs this roadmap.

Let’s build a tribe of dreamers who believe that heart beats IQ.

 How to Manage College + Self-Study Without Losing Your Mind Let’s be honest—balancing college and self-study is tough. My name om and I am writing about how student mange all thigs. Some days, you’re stuck in lectures all day, and by the time you get home, you're already drained. But deep down, you know self-study is where the real growth happens—especially if you're preparing for exams like JEE, NEET, UPSC, or just want to do better. So how do you manage both without going crazy? Here’s a simple guide that actually works (yes, even if you procrastinate sometimes).  First, Why Does Self-Study Matter? College teaches you the basics. But it’s not always enough. Some teachers rush through things. You might not get time to ask questions. And let’s be honest, sometimes you just don’t get it in class. Self-study is your backup plan. It’s where you learn your way, at your pace. It’s how you really understand topics, practice questions, and stay ahead. Step 1: Break Your Day Smartly ...
