Hello aspirant.,

JAM is an extremely tough exam to crack as the availability of seats are low that doesn't mean the exam would be easier.

Now coming to the preparation. As you are in the first year itself make sure you study well for all the subjects so that it would make you easy at the last moment. Keep in check and write notes regarding the important topic which teacher taughts you as most topics would be hard when read at last moment. Make sure you keep your notes assembled at one place. This makes it easy for you whenever you want to revise the topics.

Some of the important things you should keep in mind are:

1. Check always the previous year papers so that you get a detailed version of exam

2. Make sure to keep mock test for every topic you read.

3. Revise everyday small topics whenever you get time.

4. If possible do listen about the topic as it makes things easy for you.

If you think you it would be better if you go for caoching classes then go for it. If you can read at home then you can do it by following these steps.

Hope this helps you

All the best
