Hi dear,
Hope you are doing well!
Now let's go through your question.
Some Tips:
- Try to solve previous years question papers as many as possible. Make a habit to practice it daily. It will help you to find your weakest area. Work hard on your weakest section.
- It is very important to understand and analyze the syllabus before starting up the preparation also you must have the knowledge of exam pattern.
- Make notes it will help in the last-minute preparation.
- You need to choose the best books for their study. Try to refer the books that contain previous year question papers and complete syllabus of IIT JAM.
- Solve mock test papers available online on many educational websites. Mock test is very good to know your weak and strong points.

Hello Lakshmi.
You are asking this question at a very good time since there is sufficient time left for the preparation.
When you are going to prepare for jee mains then first of all you should join a very good coaching. Follow its time table and course content .
NCERT HC Verma JD Lee are the best books you should follow.
Next thing join test series to evaluate yourself time to time.
Have believe in yourself it is the real key to success..
Course content is similar to that of eleventh and twelfth.
Ok.
Good luck.

Hello Lakshmi
First, go with the entire syllabus thoroughly and download or purchase last year papers which is very very important because questions generally come from the fixed topic but do see papers, don't solve it first but mark the chapters from where it comes and make a list of chapters which come frequently from past years.
Once you get an idea then start focus on those chapters first and do questions simultaneously so as to cover each and every possible questions on every topic of that chapter. Don't waste time on particular chapter too long.
After you completed those chapters , come to those chapters which are of generally higher weight age generally comes frequently but if in case it is not then cover those first.
Next you have to be focussed on those chapters which are easy or I can say that doesn't involve too much theories or consist more of numerical part then cover those because this will help you to score and do side by side those which consist of only theories also.
Students generally left those theoretical chapters because they are not interested or not find it relevant to learn or I can say they cannot learn. So, do learn those chapters because they are very imp esp if I consider in my chemistry .if you are from other subject then find out from past question papers as I already told you above.
The most important is solve also IIT-JEE last year papers( this will surely help you and this gonna be a magic box for you because iit jam level question cannot exceed JEE levels as I observed this and my Prof told me the same to do so. Solve this in the month of december or January when you completed your syllabus.
Don't be demotivated and remember coaching never help anyone so if you are not taking coaching then no problem. Its only you who can clear any exam with your hardwork.
Practise ,practise, practise,practise .The more you practise questions the better you perform because solving questions helps us to have a clear understanding of that chapter and it also enhances your speed of solving .
Consider only best books related to your subject especially English author. Dont prefer Indian author books. Questions come directly from English author books miscellaneous questions or solved examples and this is imp part in your preparation. If you are not able to understand some topic then go and search on you tubes or many IIT or IISC Prof. Uploaded their lecturers and its very easy to comprehend.
You should have a good reference books for your preparations should go with those books only and even you can easily find it on google or any iit websites.
Clear your doubts with your friends or college professors or you can join crash course where you can solve mock exams and can even clear your doubts.
Hope it helps.
