the main focus should be that u should complete the entire syllabus by December(the year when u r going to give iit)..... get correspondance material of vidya mandir or brilliant.........it helps to keep in track...there was regular part test...so that u r always focused to do well in test and to complete my syllabus by time.... ...ultimately how much time time u devote yourself for iitjee matters...so keep in mind ...self study is very much important....          

And join any  test series.....just to check your potential i would suggest brilliant, vidyamandir, or fiitjee test series.....it will help you to judge yourself...always keep in mind in any test u have to score more than 50% marks...that is enough....

 And if u r following any correspondance material than don't follow so many books…. i would suggest H.C.Verma(for electrostas and mechanics), Waves and thermo(by D.C. panday), optics and modern(by D.C.panday)...... A.Das Gupta(for maths)chemistry package and NCERT(for entire chemistry) these books are just for reference to clear ur doubts. if u are having some doubts in any topic then only follow these books.....so first solve the entire question of correspondance material (all physics, maths and chemistry)....and after if you get time then follow the given books that i have suggested.....

 Waves and thermo(by D.C. panday), optics and modern(by D.C.panday)......and A.Das Gupta(for maths) is very good...if you will complete these books than it will be more than enough....and ofcourse the study package of brilliant... u will get hardly 3 to 4 days for a topic.....for any topic in 4 days...u have to solve all questions of your study package first, and if u will get extra time then only u will touch any book...so don't waste much time in any topic....beacuse syllabus is vast....try to solve as many numericals u can  and during your part test and full test...always aim to score high (more than 50%)....initially it will be difficult but later u will be able to score more...so be patient.... have numerical approach to ur study...

.and try to complete ur theory part only by one book or correspondence material...never try to read theory from two sources...it will waste ur time ...beacause everywhere theory is always same...so if u are following two sources for a same topic...then only focus to solve more numericals...

 One most important thing....after reading any topic u must make a short note of that...in ur short note u should have some good problems(say 10) of that topic and the formulas that is used frequently in that topic....and some theory part(say some good points)...these notes will help you in future for short revision...because revision is very important..so u must have your own notes to revise the topic...so during revision u should not read any book or correspondance material....your own notes should be sufficient for revision....

Dear Roshan,

As far as time managment is concerned, you need to schedule definite timings foe each paticular subject .

Self study matters a lot, self study means apart from all other studies, the total time that you devote for the study of yourself

It would be tter for you if you follow the following schedule.

Physics: 2 hrs a day self study apart from tutions and school time.

chemisrty: 2 hrs a day apart from tution and school timings.

Maths:    3 hrs a day apart from tutions and school.

this schedule is only for your self study.

Now in tutions whatever you do daily, go with the quick revision at that very moment after the completion of the topic, in all subjects. Note 

that this rhythm shoulsd not break any how.

focus on analytical topics rather than theoratical topics.

Dear Roshan Mohanty,

Here are some tips for the preparation of IIT-JEE

Starting Preparation For IIT JEE

The best time to start preparation is at the beginning of 11th class. Students are fresh after the break after boards and a lot more can be learnt. Students who start late often end up leaving some key topics of 11th class JEE syllabus. Also, if you start your preparation in 12th class then the amount of hard work is increased manifold due to additional pressure of 12th boards, so chances of getting a high rank in JEE are decreased. There is a big transition from the mugging up study of 10th class to more understanding based study of 11th class. So you shouldn't get bogged down by seeing the level of complexity in JEE exam.

The first two or three months should be spent in revising your basic concepts (topics like algebra, mecanics) which had been taught in 9th class. Concepts in topics like algebra, mechanics and stoichiometry should be studied in great detail as they also form the basis for other topics and are very scoring. There should be no doubt in your mind about these concepts. For these, develop the habit of inquisition. Clear all your doubts so that mentally you feel confident tackling any concept. A key in this area is problem-solving. Regular problem solving not only strengthens the concepts, but also increases your mental sharpness which is must for JEE.Initially problems of low level should be tried and only when you have mastered them, you should go on to solving intricate JEE type problems. You should have systematic plan for the preparation of JEE. Regular hours should be allotted to mastering concepts and problem-solving. It is not necessary to memorise the lessons and formulae. Understand the derivations of formulae and apply the formulae to solving problems. Slowly these formulae will settle down in your brain and you will be able to recall them under any situation. What is required is a clear understanding and an easy familiarity with the concepts and laws. Maximum attention should be paid to solving problems.Try to be analytical rather than being intutive. Remember that hardwork pays! You should first take up a problem and try to solve it yourself. You should understand what is given and what is required, recall what principles, laws, equations are involved. Don't hurry to see the solution as I doesn't help you to learn. Only when you've pondered over it over a long time and unable to see any light, should you see the solutions. You would be insulting yourself and seriously hurting your chances of success if you skip these problems or make half-hearted attempts in solving them. An other very important aspect of your JEE preparation will be the coaching institute, whose importance and selection procedure will be delved into in the next section.

All the best & Good Luck !!!!!

Hope this helped you immensely..!!!

Always start from BASICS because “without base, there will be no altitude” and “journey of a thousand miles begin with single step”.

2) Always BUILD UP RIGHT & APPROPRIATE BASICS.

3) Never prefer solutions of questions before doing SELF-ATTEMPT at least five times till you get the right answer because “without fall you can not stand at once”.

4) Never leave the question in between. 

5) Always try a question with CONCEPTUAL APPROACH, not just read the question then start doing without getting the point that what question is saying.

6) Your study schedule should be such that you will even easily get the time for a little enjoyment daily.

7) Most important thing is that you should be having a time schedule as well as REGULARITY in study.

8) Also you will have to take appropriate sleep or rest of at least 6 hours a day if you are preparing for IIT-JEE otherwise your mind set-up for next day will not be in place.

9) Never cram the things, always TRY TO UNDERSTAND the problem or theory.

10) And BE CONFIDENT while you are preparing. NEVER LOSE CONFIDENCE.

11) Always keep contact with intelligent students of your class or at coaching centre.

12) For your brain storming, I always preferred MTG publications monthly magazine in maths part.

13) Always be AHEAD in exams

14) Always keep the copy of latest syllabus for particular exam. Always check the syllabus before starting a new topic.

15) NEVER GET DEMORALIZED BY SOMEBODY but yes ALWAYS GET INSPIRED FROM SOMEBODY WHO IS YOUR SENIOR. (If you want, contact me)

16) Whenever you complete any chapter or particular topic, first of all, go through that topic from NCERT. (It’s very important).
