Hello Alok..
Thanks for contacting Careers360..
I gave my Jee Mains in 2017 although i did not get that good marks , to get into some NIT , I will like to share the problems I faced , mistakes I made.
The coaching institute I joined was following the syllabus in it’s own order. When I was studying inorganic chemistry in school they were teaching us organic chemistry ,when school started with organic they started with inorganic. Due to mismatch in order of teaching the subject ,I was not able to manage both school and coaching.
I did not analyze the current trends , question paper and weightage of each chapters in the subject, even the coaching institute did not plan it properly. Physics teacher was very slow in their teaching , the whole time they were focused on pulley ,rotational mechanics ,but when I gave mains exam ,most of the questions came from thermodynamics , solid mechanics , basically our CBSE 11th physics part 2.
I should have given much more time for the preparation , this was the time I started binge watching TV series ,it was also a factor in getting less marks.
Now what should you do to prepare for JEE Mains 2020. Assuming you will start your preparation from month of July and you are a General Category student.
To get a decent NIT with decent branch ,you must get more than 220 marks ( I am assuming the test is of 360 marks). Everyone wants to get high rank , but let us be realistic . The toppers of JEE Main ,they are usually people who have topped in science olympiad , KVPY in there school days , basically their preparation starts from 7th std itself.
Leave your coaching classes , the only good thing about coaching classes is the material they provide,you can buy those material online ( I am assuming you are not in Kota ,because they are on whole other level ,you can join those institute). Coaching institute will only increase pressure on you ,confuse you, because even 12th std marks are important in JEE Mains(I have assumed the system has not been changed) , you cannot ignore that fact.
Now you don’t go to coaching institute ,you will have lot of time for preparation. There is not much time left for preparation , hard work will not be enough for preparation ,now the time is to start the smart work.
Check the latest trend for 2020, see if there is any change,Check previous year question paper and find out weightage of each chapter. Start with the one with highest weightage. Study the concepts of the particular chapter you are seeing using reference books ,coaching material. Once you study a concept solve problems from that concept. Make sure you are confident about those concepts. Once you are done with that chapter , Solve the problem atleast 50 problems from that chapter at whole.
Make a proper time table according to your timings , if you are a morning person , get up early and study your favourite subject among PCM ,if you are a night person , do according with that.Please do not get disheartened if you are not able to follow your time table properly , try again.
If you are stuck somewhere ,use internet to solve your problem , can also email a professor ,if you face any doubt.
This is the time you cannot afford to waste, stop watching tv, or a series on internet , any type of indoor entertainment , stop thinking about your crush or searching internet on how to get out of friendzone( This is much tougher than cracking JEE Mains ). But please do physical activity for some hours . This will keep you energetic and improve your concentration
Discuss questions and concept with your friends , even teach them concepts ,this will make you realize how good your concepts are.
Use last 2 months to just revise your concepts and solve previous year question papers , solve as many papers as you can.
All the best . Hope you crack JEE Mains with good marks. Don’t lose hope.
What can i do?
I leave the coaching or manage both as far as possible???
