Here, I will provide essential IIT JEE Main and Advanced Preparation tips from class 11
Roughly, 11th grade can be considered the advanced class of the 9th standard. You will study in depth about the concepts which you have studied in 9th and much more. Similarly, 12th is advanced class of 10th. Like, in 9th, the part of the physics that you studied in science is mechanics. So you will study about it throughout your 11th standard. In 12th you will study about electricity and magnetism which you studied in 10th. Thus brush up your knowledge before your begin your classes. Also, in 11th you would need to shift your emphasis of study from theories to their application. This would facilitate in your understanding of the topic better as you could relate it to the physical world.
Chemistry is entirely new in 11th grade, so is maths except some parts, and Biology is very detailed. Maths is extremely important in 11th and 12th. Some of the topics that you need to understand the most are differentiation, integration, geometry and matrices and differential equations. Since you will be preparing for JEE, if you are an aspiring engineer, then you can’t neglect maths. It is utmost important as you would need its knowledge for better understanding of physics and chemistry as well. You will study about direct application of these maths topics in other two subjects.
So, how to go about preparing yourself for the 11th grade?

So, how to go about preparing yourself for the 11th grade?
A structured and systematic preparation strategy (as per JEE syllabus) from class 11 helps you in securing a very good rank in IIT-JEE . In class 11, learn all the topics and concepts because in class 12 you will find use of most of these topics. It's recommended to join a coaching for JEE preparation as it increases your chances of clearing JEE .
At the start of JEE preparation, you can focus on learning time management, discipline, following a routine, and clearing basic concepts.
- Start a habit to study every day. With time you will be able to study for long hours without losing concentration.
- Build up your interest in all three subjects - Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
- Give up mugging and lay emphasis on understanding concepts and applying them on problems.
- Work on your calculations in terms of accuracy and speed. Try to be accurate as well as fast. This needs practice.
- Improve your analytical skills. Try to solve the same problem with different methods. Solve puzzles and riddles
IIT JEE Study Plan
- Prepare and follow a daily study schedule covering all three subjects. Do not neglect any subject or give excessive time to one subject
- First read the theory part and then practice problems. It’s the way to understand concepts in a better way. If you are not able to solve a problem, read the theory again and again till you get the feel of the topic.
- Do not leave any topic that you feel unimportant for the exam. Questions in JEE can come from any topic in the syllabus.
- If you’re less interested in the subject you are studying, then first complete easier chapters and solve problems from them to gain the confidence for learning the difficult chapters.
- Study productively for long hours without lapsing concentration. Take small breaks between study sessions to maintain efficiency.
- Time management and pattern of solving questions is the key to score well in JEE. It can be only achieved by serious dedicated practice and questions solving.
- Include problem solving in your daily study schedule. Have a reliable goal, something like 20 problems a day and increase your difficulty at regular intervals.
- Write notes along with your studies. You can add important points, shortcuts, formulas, reactions, mistakes, etc. Notes will help you in revision.
- Be regular and punctual in attending all your coaching classes (if you are enrolled in one) and try to maximize this opportunity to resolve all your doubts and queries.
- Avoid backlogs. Whatever is taught in the class, study the same thing from coaching modules after the class. Finish all your homework, assignments, daily practice papers and exercises on time. Don’t keep pending work.
- Always give the coaching tests no matter your preparation level. Analyze your previous tests before giving the next one. Learn from your mistakes.
- Keep on revising your learned topics. IIT-JEE preparation takes a lot of your time. You understand topics, solve problems and old concepts fade away from your mind. For efficient preparation, consistent revision is necessary. Daily revise important points before sleeping.
- Target small goals to achieve big results. The JEE syllabus looks huge at the start. You need to divide it in modules. Take up one topic at a time and accomplish the goals related to the topic; once that is over, move to the next topic in the syllabus.
- Measure your learning and performance. You need to give tests on a regular basis to check your knowledge, speed, accuracy and time management skills (coaching has pre-scheduled tests).
- Never feel depressed if you are unable to solve questions of a specific topic or a subject. Put all your efforts and hard work to understand the theory and again solve the problems
- Write down the topics you want to cover during the week, and try to complete your daily or weekly targets.
- Take small challenges, like for 30 days you will study as per the same routine. It can become a habit that leads you to clear JEE.
- Be consistent. Daily study is the most important skill you need to crack JEE.
- Finish your work on time. You should not procrastinate at all.

Physics
- Make sure your concepts are clear of each topic. Physics is different from other subjects because it is so heavily based upon problem solving. Start with simple problems and then move on to more difficult problems. Solving problems help you gain clear knowledge about the concept.
- In Physics, solve a problem, then you change the problem, re-solve it, change it again, re-solve it again. You will start to notice patterns and you start asking more complicated questions and will be able to answer those. You rinse and repeat until you have a conceptual, quantitative and an intuitive understanding of what’s going on.
- The more you practice Physics and analyse your mistakes, the better for you. Solve a variety of questions from coaching modules. The JEE study material will have all the theory and questions as per JEE level.

Chemistry
- In Organic Chemistry, study all reaction mechanisms and remember all named reactions. Make notes while you study each chapter.
- For Physical Chemistry, read from NCERT and clear concepts at your coaching institute. After you are done with the chapter, write down all equations from the chapter in a notebook for speedy reference while solving problems.
- Complete NCERT thoroughly and you’ll get your basic footing in Inorganic Chemistry. Make precise notes for each chapter.
Mathematics
- Mathematics is an art and requires a lot of practice. The questions are of really good quality and will force you to work hard to solve them. The more you study and practice Math, the more it develops your brain and increases your problem solving ability.
- In JEE, Math questions are sometimes lengthy and the options are also close enough, so be careful about calculations and time management. The concepts and formulas should be at your fingertips. Know every shortcut possible.
Can an Average Student Crack JEE ?
Yes, an average student can crack JEE provided he/she is ready to work hard with consistency. There have been many average students who cleared JEE with good rank in the past. It is easy to crack JEE if you’re determined, work hard (smart) with impeccable consistency. The necessary problem solving skills you need for JEE can very easily be developed through consistent practice.
With the right kind of guidance and preparation, you can clear both JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams, and it doesn’t matter if you are an average or intelligent student.
Should you join coaching institutes?
The answer is yes. Coaching helps you in many ways. Teachers in coaching will help you a lot in the preparation of IIT JEE. In coaching classes, you can ask your doubts, queries, study methods or anything that is getting you trouble.
