How to Prepare for JEE Main and Advanced – A Realistic Strategy That Works 



Hi my name is om,are you preparing for JEE Main and JEE Advanced is no small task. It’s not just about studying all day — it’s about studying the right way. Whether you're aiming for an IIT, NIT, or just want to do your best, this guide will walk you through a simple, practical strategy to help you stay focused and reduce stress.



 Step 1: Understand the Journey (Don’t Panic)




First, take a deep breath.


JEE Main is the first step — a gateway to NITs, IIITs, and eligibility for JEE Advanced.


JEE Advanced is the next level — the door to the IITs.



👉 Both are tough, but with the right approach, they are totally crackable.



Step 2: Know What to Study (And What to Skip)




 Download the official syllabus of JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

Print it or use a checklist app.

Mark topics as:

Strong

Weak


🔁 Needs Revision



💡 Focus first on high-weightage and NCERT-based chapters.



 Step 3: Build a Realistic Daily Routine (No Overload)





Instead of chasing 10-hour days, try this:


Time Block Focus Area


2–3 Hours Concept Learning

1.5 Hours Problem Solving

1 Hour         Revision (Daily/Weekly)

1 Hour         Mock Test (Every 3–4 Days)



🧠 Use short breaks (5 mins every 25 mins). It boosts focus.



 Step 4: Choose Books That Actually Help




You don’t need 10 books. You need 3 good ones per subject.


Physics:

HC Verma (Concepts of Physics)

DC Pandey Series


Chemistry:

NCERT (MUST!)

MS Chauhan (Organic), OP Tandon (Physical)


Maths:

Cengage Series or Arihant

RD Sharma for basics




Step 5: Solve Problems Like a Detective




Instead of rushing, ask yourself:


Why is this the right method?


Could I solve it differently?


What concept is hidden here?



Keep a “Mistake Notebook” — note every error and review it weekly.



 Step 6: Take Mock Tests the Right Way




 Start mock tests after finishing 60–70% syllabus.


Use official NTA mock platforms.

After each test:


Note your weak topics


Analyze silly mistakes


Practice only those chapters next




 Step 7: The Art of Smart Revision




Don’t wait for the last month.


✅ Revise important formulas every Sunday.

✅ Use summary notes and flashcards.

✅ Make a quick sheet per chapter with:


Formulas


Tricky concepts


Mistakes you made in the past




Step 8: Mental and Physical Health = Success




Study hard, but:


Sleep at least 6–7 hours


Avoid junk food & over-caffeinating


Practice yoga or go for short walks


Talk to a friend or mentor if feeling stuck



👂 Don’t compare yourself to toppers. Everyone has their own speed.




Bonus: Difference Between JEE Main and Advanced (Quick Recap)


 Final Words – You’re Capable, Even If You Doubt It


Don’t think you have to be a genius. You just need:


A good plan


Daily consistency


Faith in your process



Whether you reach IIT or not, this preparation will shape your future in more ways than one.


So trust yourself — and start now. 🌱

 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.
