1. Know the syllabus, paper pattern, and marking scheme

Get a thorough understanding of the JEE syllabus first. Understand the concepts, learn the topics and also practise questions as per the syllabus. It would be a good idea to make a timetable or a study plan and also consistently make time to study. Make sure you take small breaks in between long study hours so that you don’t lose focus and motivation.

2. Select your study materials wisely.

Choosing the suitable study material for preparation is very important for getting the best results in the JEE exams. The JEE preparation study material should include NCERT books, question papers, mock tests, etc. 

3. Emphasis on theory: comprehending fundamental concepts

Even though the JEE paper includes both theoretical and numerical questions, students should focus more on the theory part because most of the questions asked and formed come from the theoretical part of the chapters. Also, having a good understanding of the theoretical concepts makes it easier to solve numerical questions. If your fundamental concepts are weak, you will most likely become stuck on each question, wasting valuable time that could be spent on other questions. JEE exam is time-bound, students need to make sure their time management skills are at their best. Getting the basic concepts strong would make it easier to help solve problems.                                                                                                                    Read to know the 10 qualities IIT test in students during JEE exam.

4. Make notes for each chapter

If you can make handy notes during your preparation of every chapter of the JEE syllabus, it would be easier for you to revise later on, in the last few days leading to the exam.

5.   Value for quality over quantity

Take each concept one by one and thoroughly understand it. Do not take all the topics at once and overload your mental capacity. Learning one concept at a time will help you understand important concepts better, and you will take less time overall with an organised learning approach.

6. Previous year’s question papers

Gather the JEE Main question papers of the past 5 years and go through them well. This can help students estimate the weightage and type of question for each section of the test paper.

7. Give equal importance to class 11 and class 12 syllabus

As the JEE Main question paper is based on the syllabus of class 11 and class 12, it is necessary to learn both well. Most of the time the weightage ratio of the JEE Main question paper is either 60:40 or 40: 60 for class 11 and class 12, but it can also be 50:50. Both syllabi should be studied with equal importance.                                                                                                               Read to know about the JEE Advanced 2022 exam date announcement.

8. Take pleasure in your studies and preparation.

Keep a positive attitude towards the exam. If you approach the exam as an obligation or a burden, you will be unable to give your best effort and will become stressed.Enjoy your study time and don’t stress while preparing for your JEE exams. Stress not only impairs your performance but also makes you vulnerable to panic and anxiety attacks.

9. Revise, again and again

Unless and until you revise, you won’t be able to retain what you have learned. Revision is a continuous process and needs to be done throughout your JEE preparation. Always make an effort to revise the important points before sleeping and get in the habit of making notes and revising them.

10. Take mock tests frequently to analyse your preparation level

One of the most necessary skills to crack IIT JEE in the first attempt is time management. Practice online mock tests periodically to manage your time well. With consistent practice, you will be able to learn the pattern of solving questions. By solving previous years’ question papers, you can get a good idea of the level of questions that are generally asked in a JEE exam.

11. Solve indefinite practice papers and previous years’ papers

One of the most important tips to cracking IIT JEE in the first attempt is to solve as many practise papers as possible. The more you practice, the better your speed and accuracy in solving questions will become. If you are taking a computer-based JEE exam, then take as many online mock tests as possible.

12. Be determined and optimistic.

Have a positive mindset in terms of achieving your goals. At certain times, you will find it difficult to manage and understand things, but don’t give up.
