Preparation for JEE Advanced in 1 year
As mentioned earlier, JEE Advanced is considered to be one of the toughest entrances in the country. Therefore, to ace such an examination candidates are required to start preparing with an ample amount of time in hand. Two years is considered to be the right period which should be invested in by the students to prepare for this national-level entrance. Though, with utter diligence, hard work and perseverance any sort of difficulty can be encountered. We have provided the students with a preparation strategy that can be adopted by them to emerge as toppers.
It is to be noted that the JEE Advanced entrance is based on the intermediate-level entrance. Hence, aspiring candidates should also pay heed in preparing well from their Class XI and XII textbooks. Given below are the subject-wise tips for various subjects.
Physics
Candidates need to develop a clear concept to do well in this section. The questions asked are generally based on concepts, laws, numericals and formulas.
The majority of questions asked in this section are from Mechanics and Electromagnetism which is around 65%. These questions are completely conceptual and do not require any sort of formulas. Therefore, candidates are advised to practise as much as they gain to do gain the ability to solve such questions with ease.
Candidates are advised to not stick to the mainstream questions. The questions asked in JEE advance vary from one year to another. Aspirants should practice different types of questions.
Electromagnetism is considered to be the most difficult part of the syllabus. Excess importance and concentration should be laid on this section for this very reason.
Candidates should be careful about not going very deep into the topic and concepts related to it. The sole reason behind this is that the questions asked at the entrance are not very tough. It should be noted that there is no end to concepts, therefore going very deep might make the candidates stick to one particular topic for a long time which in turn will cost them a huge amount of valuable time.
Equal importance should be given to preparing the theoretical portions of the subject.
Around 15% of the questions at the entrance are asked from Optics and Properties of Matter. The questions asked are based on concepts and theory.
The JEE Advanced question paper comprises 10% of the questions asked from Modern Physics which is considered to be a relatively easier portion. Candidates should not ignore this section as there is a prominent scope for scoring easy marks in this section.
The last part of this subject is Heat and Thermodynamics. Candidates who appear at the entrance will have to answer 10% of the questions based on this topic. The questions are generally based on laws and numerals. To do well in this section, candidates are required to make their basics strong.
We have also given the probable period which should be required by the candidates to prepare for the various sections of the Physics syllabus of JEE Advanced. It is to be noted that the schedule given below is a rough sketch, many students might require more or less time to prepare for the particular topics.
Topics | Time for Preparation |
|---|
Mechanics | 1 month |
Electrodynamics | 2 months |
Optics | 2 weeks |
Heat and Thermodynamics | 3 weeks |
Properties of Matter | 2 weeks |
Modern Physics | 1 week |
Note: The entire period as per the table given above adds up to 5 months which is considered enough to complete the Physics syllabus of JEE Advanced. The rest of the time should be well utilised by the candidates in practising and revising the pre-learnt topics. The more the candidates hone themselves, the greater the chances of achieving the entrance.
Chemistry
Chemistry is another subject that requires practice and a tight grip on concepts to do well. CollegeDekho has provided the candidates with certain strategies that can be taken into account by aspiring candidates to do well in the examination.
Around 30% of the questions asked on this subject belong to physical chemistry. This is considered to be the highest-scoring portion of the subject. The questions are mostly typical but not applied. Candidates are advised not to ignore this section because it is comparatively easy.
The next portion which should grab the focus of the candidates is inorganic chemistry. Almost 30% of the questions are asked from this section as well. The questions asked were typical and applied. Therefore, candidates should invest a lot of time to prepare for this section as to solve the problems they will have to first know every detail about the basic properties.
Lastly, the most important portion of the subject - organic chemistry. Almost 40% of the questions asked in the JEE Advanced Chemistry paper are from this section. Most of the questions asked are applied in nature and are based on a series of reactions. If the candidates aspire to do well in Chemistry they should make sure to have a tight grip on inorganic chemistry. It is to be noted that students find this section difficult in the beginning but with time if they start getting the concept clear scoring becomes easier.
Given below is a table depicting the amount of time which is required to prepare for the various sections of the Chemistry syllabus for JEE Advanced.
Topics | Period for Preparation |
|---|
Physical Chemistry | 1 month |
Inorganic Chemistry | 1.5 to 2 months |
Organic Chemistry | 2 to 2.5 months |
Note: After the candidates cover all the sections of the Chemistry syllabus they should undergo the constant rigorous process of practice and revision.
Mathematics
As known by all mathematics is a subject that solely depends on concepts. To do well in this section, candidates are required to work on the basics. Detailed structure of the preparation flow and important pointers that should be taken into account are given below:
Algebra which is one of the most prominent sections of the subject accounts for almost 10% of the questions asked in the entrance. This section consists of topics such as Permutation Combination, Complex Number and Probability. To do well in these topics requires regular practice and concept clearance.
Coordinate geometry accounts for around 25% of the questions asked on this subject. This section is considered to be relatively easier than the rest. Candidates can score full marks if they prepare diligently.
The most prominent and difficult portion of this subject is calculus. Almost 35% of the questions asked in the mathematics paper belong to this topic. To do well in calculus, candidates need to have a tight grip on the concepts related to it. Lots of practice is required as there are no fixed types of questions that can be asked from this topic.
The easiest part of the mathematics question paper is Vector and 3D. The number of questions asked on this topic adds up to almost 30% of the total questions asked in the paper. The questions asked are a bit lengthy, hence candidates should keep track of time while solving them.
Here is the table providing the candidates with the time that should be allotted by them in preparing for the various sections of the JEE Advanced Mathematics Syllabus:
Topics | Period for Preparation |
|---|
Algebra | 2 weeks |
Co-ordinate Geometry | 1 month |
Vector and 3D | 1.5 months |
Calculus | 2 months |
Preparation Strategy for JEE Advanced 2025 - Important Pointers
Apart from the subject-wise strategy and tips, CollegeDekho has also provided certain other instructions that can be taken into account while preparing for JEE Advanced 2025:
Candidates should make a sheet comprising all the formulae related to the various topics in the syllabus.
It is advisable to mark the tricky and difficult questions which will help the candidates at the time of revision.
The candidates don't need to attempt all the questions. They should focus on the easier questions at first and then go for the difficult ones. This will give the candidates a feeling of self-confidence.
As the time for preparation is 1 year, candidates should focus more on the tactics of solving different kinds of questions rather than analysis of the paper.
