Thank you.
- Find out what motivates you (you may think what you want from life and how being an IITian will make it easier for you to achieve it).You must have a reason why do you want to get into an IIT.Once you are motivated, a determination will follow.But from here the real challenge starts, being determined is easy but remaining determined for 2 years will be a tough job.
- A correct timetable is very crucial. Your activities should be planned. The time distribution for studying all of Physics,Chemistry, and Mathematics in one day should be clear to you from the moment you wake up. Always aim to set constructive goals.
- You have to always be sworn by three planning tools, a proper time table for each subject, long term and short term plans and a balanced study schedule which leaves adequate time for other activities.
- If your parents could afford it, you should join a coaching institute, such that you get at least 6 hours to prepare for yourself.
- Follow the right(not many) books . Keep the sources minimal but be thorough with whatever you have chosen. Books like SL Loney, Cengage, I.A Maron for maths, HC Verma for physics, NCERT, JD Lee, Morrison Boyd for chemistry.
