“Good in the topics which were taught in last few months but difficulty in recalling the concepts of topics learned 5-6 months back.”
All of us have a limited memory resource of various capacities. Some people have an iconic memory but majority has normal memory which tends to forget things gradually with time. But to score a good rank in IITJEE you need to have all the concepts on your “Finger Tips”. A proper revision strategy is what you require the most. It does not matter that you were the topper of your batch in the class test of definite integral. All that matters is how many of the definite integral questions you cracked in IITJEE. Usually the students who are good in some topic and have done well in class tests of that topic tend to ignore the topic while revising. They feel that it is a cake walk for them and here they make a mistake. A batsman practices more with his lucky bat. If he starts feeling that his lucky bat will do the entire miracle and he keeps on practicing with other bats in nets, in match his lucky bat will become less familiar to him. So keep practicing more with your stronger area. But for that you should not ignore other topics which you find less attractive. No one can predict which topic's question will be more in the exam. So you need to maintain a minimum level in all the topics. After that you make your favourite topics stronger. One more thing which you should keep in mind is to try to find out the topics which are more common in papers (like definite integrals in maths) and try to make them your strength.

You should try to revise as many concepts as you have learnt over your preparation. This includes theory and formulas, as well as concepts learnt from problems. Concepts learnt from problems must be dealt with in a systematic manner, to get the most out of it.
First, while preparing now, you should mark from the questions you practice those questions which you would like to review. Then, while you are still preparing for the Mains, you should solve these marked questions few times, till you are reasonably comfortable with most of them.
After the Mains, you should revise all these marked problems orally. Keep about 30 seconds for each problem. Try to recall all concepts that were used in the problem. If you think you are not sure of the concepts of some problems, mark them for solving. Then practice only these problems, and then revise orally again in a few days.
This should help you brush up most ideas
