It is imperative to be very disciplined from the start if you have decided to prepare for IIT. All the 3 subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are equally important and you have to work sufficiently on each of them. When you are competent enough to solve the questions from all the three subjects, try to gain expertise on your strongest part/ favourite area.

Strategy for Physics:Note down the formulae and results, it will help during revision.Practice as many questions as you can, keeping in mind the availability of time. Focus on your strong areas.
