First study NcertThe chief problem with some students is that they directly jump to tough Brilliants or FIITJEE.This method wont work. First your basic concepts should be clear. In order to clear the concepts follow these books.PHYSICS: NCERT XI and XII ---- If you sit back and analyze previous 5 years question papers of IITJEE you will find that most of the problems are of NCERT level. This has been proved by many top coaching institutes and even by those who topped JEE.One of my friend was able to get into top 2000 just by studying NCERT books.

CHEMISTRY: NCERT XI and XII ---- The most important and highly recommended book for IITJEE.MATHS: NCERT XI and XIIWhen this is over. If possible try to repeat it 3 times .Power of repetition is unlimited. Before jumping to the next step ask yourself Are my basic concepts clear If yes then go to the next step which involves application of concepts.

Now study the chapter from these booksPHYSICS: HC VERMA I and II ---- This book is called the god of physics. After completing NCERT you will find this book really enjoyable to study. The solutions of HC Verma are available here. But I recommend better having a deep discussion with your friends or teachers, This will clear your concepts.

CHEMISTRY: Dr.O.P.Agrawaal and RC Mukerjee Physical chemistry

MATHEMATICS: K.C.Sinha Algebra & Calculus & Probability S.L.Loney Trigonometry & Co-ordinates (at least thrice. If possible 4 times) Must solve S.L.Loney Trigonometry 206 miscellaneous sums Questions behind the KC SINHA algebra

Consolidation Phase

Now as your concepts are cleared its time to raise your problem solving capacity.

Have patience at the start since you might face difficulties to solve tough problems. You will be able to build yourself with time and practice. Guys trust my words, if you have completed the 1st and 2nd stage then nothing can stop you from clearing JEE.But if you want to get a good JEE rank then you should go for 3rd step.

PHYSICS: Arihant books on physics ie mechanics,electricity and magnetism,optics,thermodynamics and waves. Objective Physics by DC Pandey. Try solving the book again and again 3 times.CHEMISTRY: Arihant publications books (Physical, Organic and Inorganic)Now no need to study any more theories. Your concepts are already cleared in 1st and 2nd stage. Just move on to solving problems fearlessly.MATHEMATICS: TMH --- Time for TMHAfter solving KC sinha and SL Loney I dont think you will find it tough as it is in realityFourth StepFor getting a top 100 rank

Congrats for successfully completing the first 3 stages!!!Now comes the marathon problem solving practice. This stage will hone and test your skills as an IITian.

1) Brilliant Tutorials material and YG files2) FIITJEE GMPs 3) Question gained form coaching and friends4) Questions from APEX materials5) Exercises at the end of IL Finar Have you noticed that I have placed the brilliant tutorials and FIITJEE in the last stage while many coaching classes lay undue stress on solving these hefty books first

Hot Tips For Success...

Study all the three subjects together without laying stress on one subject. It might be dangerous.

Better spend Monday for Physics, Tuesday for Chemistry, Wednesday for Maths and repeat the cycle for Thurs, Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, you MUST revise whatever you studied in last 6 days. REVISION IS A MUST.

one thing I feel I should add is that IITJEE isnt that easy. You require sweating out all your power to clear it. But if you follow the above stepwise approach then no one can stop you from getting into IITs And do not panic either while preparingPosted by ASHISH at 2:38 PM No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestSaturday, January 12, 2013IIT JEE TIPS IIT JEE TIPSStarting Preparation For IIT JEEThe 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 aredecreased. 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 JEEexam.

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, equation.

Course Planning

Course planning is essential in the sense ,that it can get you at the topin rank list.This planning should be done by the student in 11th classitself . From this year, a screening test is being conducted and soproper planning becomes all the more important.Have a look at all thetopics and shortlist topics,and months wherein you plan to completethem.Finishing syllabus atleast a month before the exam isessential.The summer vacations in 12th class are the best time tofinish a huge lot of syllabus.I can suggest the following course plan forstudents in 11th class.

JUNE TO OCTOBER : Mathematical concepts used in Physics, Basicmechanics, stoichiometry, general chemistry----atomic structure,chemical bonding, periodic table, algebra---number theory, quadraticequations, progressions.

OCTOBER TO JANUARY :Complete Mechanics, waves, PhysicalChemistry--equilibrium, heat, kinetics, thermochemistry, electrolysis,algebra -----induction, complex numbers, trignometry.

JANUARY TO MAY : Heat, fluid mechanics, gravitation, Inorganicchemistry---properties and metallurgy of metals and non metals, gaslaws, analytic geometry, permutations and combinations, binomialtheorem.

MAY TO AUGUST : Electrostatics and electricity, electrochemistry,solutions, solids, qualitative analysis, transition metals, differentiationand integration.

AUGUST TO NOVEMBER : magnetism, optics, modern physics,organic chemistry, differential equations, probability, vectors.

NOVEMBER TO DECEMBER : FINAL REVISION By following this plan,course will be finished in time and revision canalso done,to ensure maximum success in JEE.To maximize yourpotential you have to planned .My next topic tells you about certainimportant topics to which special interest should be given.

Important Topics

Choosing the right topics for maximum study is very important notonly for clearing JEE but also for getting a high rank. Lots of topics inJEE syllabus require a huge lot of time, incomparable to that requiredby other topics. Spending too much time on these topics and ignoringother topics leads to drastic failure in rank.Lots of topics in JEE arevery easy and are of NCERT level.The key to topping JEE is tomaximize your scoring in these topics which boosts the rank. Manysuch topics require considerably less time and is much much less thanthe time required by certain other topics with proportionate marks.Youshould spend more time on these topics and try to earn full marks insuch topics.I list a few of these topics:

MODERN PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS :most of the questions easyand similar to past JEE questions.

WAVE OPTICS :most of the questions are similar to past JEEquestions

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND GENERAL CHEMISTRY :most of thequestions are of NCERT level and are simple.

SOLID STATE :Most of the questions are very easy.

PROBABILITY AND DIFFERENTIATION :most of the questions aresimple and NCERT level.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS :most of the questions are similar topast JEE questions.

By spending legible time on these topics ,the scoring in JEE will beboosted and only will you clear JEE but also get a high rank.Butbeware , don't neglect there other topics. In topics like mechanics,electricity , physical chemistry and analytical geometry , if theconcepts are clearly understood then many of the questions pertainingto these topics can be easily handled.My next topic discusses themarks and the rank which can be expected with those marks. Examination Strategies For IIT JEE

Revision related tips

About 20 days before the JEE Screening Test, start gettingacquainted with a wide variety of topics to improve the range ofnumericals you can attempt. Do not attempt lengthy questions,and focus instead on objective, numerical questions to practice as many types of questions as you can. You should look atbreadth rather than depth in these 20 days. Revise all important concepts and formulae, so that they are onyour tips and come to you without any effort or thought. The screening paper gives equal weightage to all three subjects and so should your screening preparation. Remember - The screening test has negative marking for wronganswers. So your familiarity with concepts will be crucial if youtake the calculated risk of logical guessing. Things to keep in mind one day before the examination: You need at least 6-8 hours of sleep before the examination tokeep yourself fresh while solving questions. Eat a light meal so that you do not feel drowsy or lethargicduring the paper. Revise only those topics that you have studied earlier. Do notstart reading any new topics just before the examination, sincethis will be a waste of time and you may lose the informationyou have already grasped. You should reach the test center at least half an hour before theexam and if you haven't seen the center before, then you mustgo and visit the center on the day before the exam.Note: If your examination center is in another city- o Reach the city positively on the day before the exam. o Ensure the place of your stay there is calm, clean andconducive to study. o In actuality it does not make any difference whether thecenter is in your city or in some other city. So get the fearof an unknown city out of your mind. Never go to the center on an empty stomach. Always keepbiscuits, fruits etc. handy. Some students complain of nausea or headache close to the test.So keep relevant medicine handy. If you plan to ride your own vehicle to the center, ensure it is inproper running condition and has enough fuel in its tank. If you do not have a vehicle, ensure a means of traveling thatreaches you to the center well in time, and give at least half anhour of time for unforeseen delays like traffic jams and rush hourtraffic. Keep a wristwatch, your permission letter, a pen, two pencils(sharpened at both ends), an eraser, a sharpener and otherrelevant stationary systematically with you. Some important points to keep in mind during the examination General Instructions Synchronize your wristwatch with the center clock. Open your permission letter and keep it on your table. Do not use a red pen. Points regarding presentation Start attempting the question paper only after reading theinstructions given on it very carefully. While attempting questions, go on segregating them by the A, B,C method A :These questions are from topics that you haveprepared well, and you can clearly comprehend the meaning ofthese questions. You have done questions containing similarconcept earlier and you are confident that you will be able tosolve these. B :You know you can solve these questions but theyare time-consuming, nevertheless you are confident you will beable to crack them when you come back to them. Thesequestions should be attempted in the second round of questionattempting, i.e. when you have solved all questions marked with a B. C :You don't know head or tail of these questions and youshould not waste time attempting them. Attempting to solve all questions in haste increases the chancesof error. It is better to solve slightly fewer questions faultlessly. Never attempt two questions at the same time. Concentrate onone question at a time. Carry out all rough work only in the space given in the paper. If you need a diagram to understand questions in say physics orcoordinate geometry etc., do make one. Use the value of constants given in the paper in solving anumerical. If the value is not mentioned, use the one youremember. Give all three subjects equal time - i.e. 50 minutes each forphysics, chemistry and mathematics. While attempting the answers, do not shade the answer keyimmediately. Instead, tick your response with a pencil 4 on theanswer key. Keep marking questions with A, B, C in the first round of solvingthe paper. All questions should be segregated into one of thesethree categories. This saves valuable time later. Fill out the answer key 30 minutes before final time. Fill out theresponses to questions attempted after this directly in theanswer key.

The complexity of the IIT-JEE arises from the fact that the questionsare always unique in their context, and solving them often requires a combination of concepts from across different chapters. Nonetheless,some basic data analysis can be quite revealing and could give some important insights into how one should go about preparing for each subject. Such analyses form the basis of our understanding of the JEE.

The section-wise breakup of marks in the past years

PHYSICS

'Electrostatics and Current Electricity', and 'Electromagnetism'-each of these topics has contributed about 15%Students should devote about 30% of their preparation time to the coverage of Electromagnetism and Electrostatics; because together they constitute almost one-third of the total marks and can be more scoring as the degree of difficulty when compared to Mechanics is relatively low. 'Optics' too contributes approximately 13% to the IIT-JEE test. Within Optics, it has been observed that problems on Physical optics are more frequent than that on Geometrical optics. Students shouldtake care to devote about 10% of time on Optics for robust preparation.

In the past four years, approximately 20% of the total marks pertain to Mechanics. Within Mechanics, the favorite topics seem to be 'Rigid Body Rotation' and 'Motion on a Plane'. Topics like 'Simple HarmonicMotion' and 'Work and Energy', on the other hand, have been accorded relatively less priority for these years. Apparently, students have to be thoroughly prepared with Mechanics as it forms almost one-fifth of the whole JEE Screening paper. It is important for students to realize that Mechanics though important, takes relatively more time for preparation. Thus, they should restrict their preparation of Mechanicsto about 30% of the total time.

The next important topics are

'Modern Physics' and 'Thermal Physics', each commanding a share of about 12% of the total marks. These topics can be covered thoroughly in a relatively less time (10% of total time can be allocatedto each topic); therefore, a student should look at exhaustively preparing for these topics.

The last but not the least, 'Mechanical Waves' (sound) has accounted for approximately 12% of the total marks. Students can prepare for Wave Motion by restricting their total time spent on thisparticular topic to about 10%.

CHEMISTRY

'Organic Chemistry' has the highest weightage with mean marks of 36%. Topics like 'Isomerism' and 'Name Reactions', and 'Stability of reaction intermediates' should be thoroughly covered. It is easier to remember the reactions and conversions involving aromatic compounds and a considerable percentage of questions from organic chemistry are based on this part. An understanding of directive influence of substituent groups, resonance and mechanism of reactions definitely helps in cracking the problems of organic chemistry. 'Physical Chemistry' is a close second with a mean weightage of 33%.

In fact, questions on physical chemistry are all numerical in nature. Problems on topics like 'Electrochemistry', 'Kinetics', and'Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium' are always asked either directly or along with some other topic. Students are advised to cover all the topics of physical chemistry. This is an area in which students can be sure of hundred percent score, provided they have a clear understanding of the concepts and a good practice of solving problems within recommended time.

'Inorganic Chemistry' and 'General Chemistry' account for 21% and 10% of the total marks. Inorganic Chemistry should be prepared by studying the group properties and periodicity. Lots of emphasis hasto be given to Exceptions. Questions are asked from these topics invariably. The properties of some important compounds are also asked in the form of reactions. Remembering the reactions involved inqualitative analysis is of great advantage.

Questions asked in General Chemistry mostly include that from 'Stoichiometry' and 'Chemical Bonding'.

MATHEMATICS

'Calculus' accounts for about 30% of the total marks in JEE. Students can score a high percentage of marks by firmly grasping the fundamentals of Calculus. More emphasis should be given in preparing 'Functions', 'Increasing/Decreasing Functions', and 'Maxima/ Minima of Functions'.In Integral Calculus, students must practice problems on 'Definite Integral' with a proper understanding of the use of their properties forevaluation. In 'Area of Regions Bounded by Curves', students should take care to draw figures for obtaining the limits of the integrals to be evaluated.'Algebra' has a weightage of about 23% of the total marks. Studentsshould emphasize practicing only those topics that have been well understood by them. Since problems on Algebra are trickier, students must practice solving as many different types of problems as they can.

'Analytical Geometry' has a weightage of about 20% of the total marks. It is also a conceptual topic. Before solving a problem, students must draw figures of the given curves to understand the problem. The topics of 'Vectors and 3-D Geometry' and 'Probability' have a weightage of approximately 6% each. These also have to bethoroughly prepared.

'Trigonometry' carries a weightage of about 9%. It has been observed that this weightage was as high as 17% and as low as 4%. Students, anyways,must be thorough with the topics of 'Inverse functions', 'Solutionsof Trigonometric Equations', and 'Solution of Triangles'. Theformulae and standard results of trigonometry must be learnt by heartin order to do well in the Mathematics paper.

Please note that the JEE is not about scoring 100% in a subject or theexamination. Your aim should be to attain an optimal score in eachsubject, depending on your strengths and weaknesses.
