Aim at getting a deep understanding of concepts: A deep conceptual knowledge is required for
solving high standard problems of JEE. Therefore the IIT JEE study material and preparation books that
you choose must match your understanding of the topics. A book that works well for your friend might not
be good for you. For instance, Irodov is a great book for students at an advanced level of understanding, and
would not work well for a beginner.
Consult your teachers and seniors: Carefully select the list ofIIT books and books for AIEEE that you
must own by consulting with your lecturers, previous years rank holders in IIT JEE or other engineering
and medical entrance exams.
Set your priorities straight: There are many preparation books available in the market which leaves the
students perplexed as to which are the ones really worth investing in. It is advisable to set your priorities
straight:
First strengthen your conceptual basics, for which one might give a thorough reading to beginner level
books like NCERTbooks (i.e. the books followed by CBSE board for class XIand class XII).
Once you are thorough with the concepts, only then the mock tests and high level books for IIT JEE and
AIEEE books would prove to be of any help.
Dont overdo it, referring to too many books can leave you confused: The trick is to own the
basic conceptual text book (NCERT or CBSEtext
books) in addition to one or two reference preparation books for each subject. Anything more than this
would leave you out of cash and confused as to which books to refer. Wisely choose the IIT books and books
for AIEEEthat must be purchased. Any additional book for reference can be borrowed from the library as
and when required. Try to get your hands on good mock tests and question papers to test your
level of preparation.

Literally Never judge a bookby its cover: Different authors might take different approaches to the
same problem, so take some effort to get your hands on the best preparation books (according to your
understanding) in addition to NCERT books. Dont be misguided byjazzy titles, authors with impressive
names, higher prices or big publishing houses. Sometimes the best preparation books are the most
inexpensive ones.
This is how you should proceed:
Study by dividing time between the three subjects.
Understand the concepts of a particular chapter from your basic books (like NCERT books).
Now consult your reference or guide books for IIT JEE to see if you missed out on anything.
Test your understanding of the topic. For this, attempt the solved questions for that chapter from some
suitable preparation book. For instance,while studying Physics, attempt problems from
H.C.Verma during the beginning phase of your preparation, then only try to move on to
more complex books for IIT JEE andAIEEE books, for example Problems in General
Physics by Irodov (preferably) or Resnick and Halliday. This would ensure a systematic progress
towards your goal of cracking the most prestigious examination of the country.
Take regular mock tests. You can use mock tests given by coaching institutes or devise your own. While
taking a self-devised test, simulate a perfect class-room environment (with time limit and no distractions).
Analyse the problems, dont cram methods mindlessly
IIT JEE examination is not a race against time, but still it is
imperative for the aspirants to solve the problems during the exam at a decent enough pace. To train oneself to
solve the problems with the speed anywhere close to desired, the student must have a clear understanding of
the topic in consideration in addition to the knowledge of speed enhancing tips and tricks. A student must
learn to comprehensively analyze the problems rather them learning the procedures
mechanically.

Practice intelligently to retain concepts and problem-solving methods: Cracking an entrance
requires not just practising the problem, but retention of the method as well. For this, practice as much as you
can, and recognize the crucial steps or tricks involved. Revise such concepts periodically to have them etched in
your memory.

Vaulting over the final Hurdle
Make a revision time-table for the last three weeks before IIT JEE or AIEEE in a planned manner beforehand.
This is to ensure that you give enough revision time to your strengths and give a final brush up to your weak
subjects. Use yourNCERTpreparation books for revision of theory as you used them to study for class
XIand class XII, so it would refresh your memory fast.
At the last moment never ask your peers how prepared they are, of which students have a great tendency.
How would knowing the preparation level of your friends going to help you in any way, other than creating
stress of course.
Dont try to overload yourself with revision of subjects on the eve of exam. Relax and keep those AIEEE and
IIT books aside the last day. This would boost your confidence.
A good night sleep is very important to have an uncluttered mind on the day of the exam, so dont be up too
late the night before trying to do some last minute cramming of formulae.
Prioritize once more during the last moment revision, i.e. a week before the exam. First brush up properly the
concepts that you are most comfortable with using those books for IIT JEE and books for AIEEE that you used
for preparation, and then take up the problem areas.
Never try to learn too many new concepts at the last moment. It would just act as a confidence-annihilator
and leave you perplexed.

A specific tip forAIEEE: Chemistry is the most scoring of the three subjects and thus must be concentrated
upon during the last 2 weeks properly.
On the last days before the exams dont try to tackle the topics that you chose to leave during the full course of
your preparation just for the sake of covering the whole syllabus. All you would achieve is wastage of many
precious hours. The last resort methods of trying to learn new concepts at the eleventh hour generally prove
useless as the students are too bewildered to be able to grasp anything new. Instead, concentrate on
strengthening the topics that you already know. Dont pick up those brand newpreparation books now.
During the last few days it is even more difficult to avoid distractions because of the nervous tension. Try to
take control of that.
Last minute revision should concentrate more on your ability to comprehend and analyze things rather than
mugging up those books for IIT JEEand AIEEE.
Also trying to learn new things at the last moment would aggravate your anxiousness by making you feel that
you arent fully prepared.
Stress Management
Avoid doing combined studies during the final weeks, especially with those peers who have a tendency to get
increasingly nervous before the examination. Stress is as infectious as plague.
Dont let others level of preparation unnerve you in any way. Dont break the routine that works the best for
you to compete with a peer who stays up late, or doesnt sleep at all.
Keeping a positive attitude is very crucial.
The best stress management is long term. If you have been in control of your time and your actions all
through the course of action, chances are you would be very confident already. If you havent than at least do
this for the final lap of the race.
Inside the examination Hall
Once you have the IIT JEE or AIEEE examination paper in your hands, avoid the practice of blindly
attempting the question paper from the first question onwards. Take some time to understand the paper
structure and try to attempt those questions first with which you are more comfortable or that carry more
marks and are easier. Only then proceed to the difficult section.
Divide the time between the three subjects wisely depending upon your strengths and weaknesses. Students
might be tempted to spend more time in the section of their liking. However one must understand that the cut-
off to all the subjects must be cleared. So make a conscious effort to refrain from unfairly giving more time to
your favourite subject over the ones you are weak at.

Use your analysis of the morning exam performance to find the subject you performed poorly in, and try to
devote some additional time to it in the second examination to ensure that you compensate for the mornings
performance in IIT JEE.
With these final tips you are all ready to take the leap

Time-management for JEE preparation: Dont spend your time, invest it
The greatest advantage of good time management practice for almost every conceivable thing is the freedom to
avoid last-minute nervous-breakdowns, time-crunches etc. It gives confidence to the students preparing for
JEE and other entrance exams as it ultimately gives them enough time for a detailed revision as well. And we
know that with confidence comes optimism and thus enhanced performance in entrance exams.A well-
planned approach towards time management right from the beginning would ensure that the
preparation is complete and no last minute short cut techniques like selective studies are used
to cover the IIT syllabus.In short, control what you do with your time. Dont let the time control your
moves.
Steps for time management
First and foremost maintain a proper planner. This should include the dates of all the tests that you
are aiming at in addition to your board exams schedule (when declared). Come 2013, there might be
justone common entrance test for engineering colleges. Still this step is important as you would need to

plan for boards, internal tests and other exams that you wish to appear for in addition to JEE. In addition
the planner must have the details of all the different mock tests that you have to appear for etc. and also the
time-table of your preparation. Additionally list the complete IIT syllabus for assistance in goal-setting.
(Long term plans)
Plan out your daily activities based on their importance level.Set your priorities straight: Finish
the most important tasks first. (Short-term plans). This would ensure that you are right in the direction
towards entrance exam preparation. For instance, look at a sample planner in the image here.Here one
would need to finish the most urgent and important tasks first like preparing for a test scheduled on the
next day. Then move on to the important, but not urgent tasks like practising Maths for JEE. Remember
that the not important tasks can wait, you can take care of them while you are taking a break.
Identify your times of highs and lows. Some people are energetic in the morning hours whereas some
people work the best at night.
Normally difficult activities must be handled first. Addressing most dreaded problems at that time
of the day when one is energetic and fresh would increase the chance of success in entrance exams.
Consequently one would feel motivated to work towards simpler goals after handling more complicated
ones. Example: If Chemistry is your strength and the mention of Mathematics scares you, then you might
want to practice Maths problems right in the morning and Chemistry at the end of the day, if you are a

morning person.
Keep your workplace organized.Students preparing for entrance exams often live and sleep on their
books and notes. In experts opinions an uncluttered place of study generally ensures a clearer mind.
Document your notes in a proper order. It would save your time by making it easy for you to find the notes
as and when you require it.
Try to phase out as many unproductive tasks from your daily schedule as possible over time .
Avoid procrastination: Most of the students continue postponing their plans of studying seriously for
Tomorrow, whereas the fact of the matter is that without a strong resolve and determination this plan
would never really materialize.

Give up the habit of saying later for everything:
1. One very practical reason for such an attitude of students is unrealistic goal setting. They end up resolving
that theyll finish the whole IIT syllabus in a very limited time along with a host of other activities and when
they fail to do so, become disheartened and thus discouraged and cant even finish half the IIT study
material
2. Set short-term, more realistic goals for yourself during entrance exam preparation. Seeing
yourself achieve them would act as an encouragement, and make you more positive.
3. Always remember to divide the task into smaller parts to keep it from becoming overwhelming. Dont
aim at finishing all your IIT study material in one go, rather be realistic and take baby steps by dividing the
IIT syllabus into smaller sections.
4.
As the proverb states: The first step is always the hardest.Find the courage and motivation to take the firstleap, the rest would automatically follow.
5. Whenever you get stuck with a problem, make note of it then and there, and refer to your IIT study
material, online video lectures or take your lecturers help as soon as possible, so that you can take care of
the confusion well in time and proceed further.Dont wait until the last moment to clarify your
doubts.

Divide your time properly between then three
subjects; Physics, Maths and Chemistry. Concentrating on your weak points might be a very good idea. A
subject-wise and topic-wise time schedule might work wonders. In short, draft a time-table for
yourself, but more importantly stick with it. Example of such a time schedule would be: 6:00-
7:00am Physics (Vectors-Theory), 7:00-8:00am Organic Chemistry: Hydrocarbons (Chemical Equations)
While studying for IIT-JEE the better option is to study all the three subjects simultaneouslyinstead
of wrestling with a subject for a few days, abandoning it to study the other two, and resuming it again after a
few days. The reason being: Simultaneously studying the three subjects ensures that the IIT syllabi for all
the three proceeds at a reasonable pace, and time that would have otherwise been lost in revising a subject
each time one picks it up after a break can be saved.
Note down the points to remember, concepts and short-cuts for each
topic in a summarized form. This would help during last minute recapitulation just before the entrance
exams.
Avoid overreactions and anxiety: No matter how well you plan out your each move, there will always
be contingencies that might alter your planned course of action. Make sure not to let these hurdles impact
you in anyway. The secret is to avoid overreacting and to keep your cool.
Get updated syllabus: Before starting your preparation for engineering entrance tests make sure to get
the updated IIT syllabus from either IITs website or some other reliable source.

Reward yourself for each achieved goal and each
met deadline. This would act as an excellent motivator and would give you something to look forward to.
Each time you meet your goal, go catch your favorite movie.
Take breaks:Very importantly, dont forget to include in your schedule the time to socialize, engaging in
your hobbies etc. to keep your mind refreshed. Take short breaks between your periods of study to
rejuvenate yourself.
Time management during the Exam is also very important
In order to prepare yourself completely for entrance exams, dont use calculators while practicing
numerical problems. Some Senior Secondary Boards like ISC allow the use of calculators board exams,
so students are in a habit of using the same, however to crack IIT or some other engineering entrances one
must be quick with mental calculations. This can be achieved only by continuous practice.
While practicing from IIT-JEE study material or practice papers for
any of the engineering entrances, make sure to develop the habit of dividing time properly between different
sections, i.e. Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Aptitude, depending upon your hold on the subjects. This
would ensure that during the actual entrance exam you manage to do justice to all the subjects.
While writing the engineering entrance test dont lose your composure.Move on to the next problem if
you are unable to understand a question or are nowhere close to the end after your self-

allotted time for the particular problem is over.There is always the option of coming back to the
problem later instead of losing time on it initially.
Attempt easier problems carrying more marks first as the rule of thumb. This would give you a
good kick-start and boost your confidence.
Sometimes the answer can be arrived at just by eliminating the improbable options. Using
this method at appropriate places can pace you up.
Time if managed properly for entrance exam preparation can thus act as the competitive advantage against
ones fellow IIT aspirants.
