- Firstly, tell yourself that JEE is not tough. Think in terms of actual scenarios and not just solving problems.
Everyone has a different grasping power. But 5-6 months is quite a sufficient time to finish the syllabus. You can utilize the remaining time in attempting question papers in time constraints and revising concepts and formulae. Also, always choose one difficult topic with two easy topics; it reduces the burden and effort.
What you need to do first and foremost is set targets to cover the syllabus as per your speed and act accordingly. As simple as that. Here are the things to keep in mind for each subject.
- Physics
Mechanics and Electromagnetism constitute the major part of the paper (65%). In mechanics, do not stick with only mainstream questions, try different types of questions. Electromagnetism has a lot of formulas and a whole lot of concepts, which is the most difficult part of the syllabus. So, strengthen your theoretical knowledge. Keep in mind that Heat and Thermodynamics are generally numerical based on basic laws, so don’t go deep into the topic and concepts.
- Chemistry
Physical chemistry has questions that are rather typical than applied. It is also the most scoring part of chemistry section, so learn it thoroughly. Keep in mind that Inorganic chemistry has both applied as well as typical questions and preparing for it might take a lot of time. Organic chemistry covers around 40% of the questions, where most of the questions are applied and based on series of reactions except GOC. Once you get the concepts right, it will become the easiest subject for you.
- Mathematics
Complex Number, Permutation Combination and Probability cover 80% of the algebra portion. Remember that the questions on these topics are relatively easy and scoring. Vector and 3D sometimes have questions that are bit lengthy, but if you get them right, you conquer the 30% weightage it has. Calculus, the most tricky part, has no particular trend in types of questions, so you have no choice but to practice a lot.
All the very best and good luck.

Hi Kamal. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.
If your syllabus is complete, you should start your revision. Focus on the important topics. Note that as JEE Mains is focused primarily on NCERT/CBSE syllabus for class 11 and 12, start revising the topics from today itself.
Solve as much as MCQs for your practice by referring to previous year papers to understand the exam pattern. You should attend mock test series of FIITJEE, ALLEN, Resonance, Vidyamandir, etc. to analyze your preparation level and to know where you stand among other competitors . This will make you aware of your strengths and weakness .
So, yes, it is not impossible to pass JEE with flying colours by preparing for only one year. But, for that, what is required from your side?
- Dedication . Dedication . Dedication .
- Focus . Focus . Focus .
Thats all. Hope these points help you and all the very best!
