NCERT BOOKS: Your Steps to Success!

It is believed that if you are an Engineer and have studied from a reputed college; then you would have a settled career with a good pay. This is one of the reasons that most of the students prefer to opt for engineering courses! The first step to fulfill their dream is to crack JEE exams; for which they need to start preparing from early school years to be able to compete for it.

While you plan for the JEE examinations it is suggested that you start your preparations from 9^th standard as you will not face too much difficulty ahead. This also helps in handling exam pressure or stress with ease. Along with you plan and time table, it is of absolute necessity that you select correct books. There are abundant books that are available in market that will aid you in cracking JEE examination, but you need to choose books that will help you to strengthen your basic concepts. Do not try to solve problems or old papers without proper knowledge of the subjects. If you jump directly to high level books, you might not be able to understand the topics and might lose the patience. Thus, it is mandatory to be careful and plan before you decide upon books to avoid mess and failure.

Many students prefer to follow or study those books and guides that have been suggested by their tutors and teachers. There is no harm in it as these books have very minute details, which will help them to solve the problems. But, if I would ask the students to refer to NCERT books they would be surprised. This is because many people believe that board text books are of no use when it comes to JEE preparation and simply ignore them. But, it is a big mistake that students make by ignoring them. JEE toppers have validated the point that it is not possible to crack JEE or any other competitive exam in India without referring to NCERT books.
