0

How to prepare for JEE Main 2025 – If your aim is to get admission to a top government engineering college in the country, you can’t look beyond JEE Main. The JEE Main entrance exam is the pathway to top engineering colleges like the NIFTs, IIITs, and CFTIs.

Scores of the JEE Main exam are even used to shortlist candidates for JEE Advanced

So, whichever way you look, JEE Main is the common thread that binds all the top engineering colleges in the country.

Now being such an important exam can have its pitfalls. For one, a large number of candidates sit in the exam, making it amongst the toughest entrance exams in the country. 

To do well in JEE Main, therefore, demands high-level and smart preparation. 

In this article, we discuss how you can prepare for JEE Main 2025 in the right way, so that on exam day, you are ready to fire on all cylinders.

How to prepare for JEE Main 2025 – Easy and Effective Tips

Here are some easy to follow tips that you can incorporate to prepare for the JEE Main exam.

  1. Follow the JEE Main syllabus – While it may sound quite cliche, it needs to be repeated that you must strictly follow the official JEE Main 2025 syllabus. If you manage to complete the entire syllabus, you more or less are guaranteed a good score.
  2. Go through the exam pattern – Along with the syllabus you also need to know the JEE Main exam pattern, like, the types of questions asked, questions per section, etc. Without the knowledge of the exam pattern, you will not be able to decide how to prepare, how much to prepare, etc. For instance, if the paper includes objective type questions, there is no point wasting time on learning how to answer subjective-type questions. Also, time management becomes critical in objective-type papers. 
  3. Make a STUDY time-table – Depending on the difficulty, weightage, and any other parameter you set, you need to allocate time for each topic. Start following the table when you start preparation. As you move deep into JEE Main preparation, you might realize that some topics might need extra time, while you may be able to complete other topics in less time. If that is the case, you will have to revisit the timetable and make the adjustments. Also, make time for revision, solving of sample papers, and mock tests.
  4. Gather the best books for JEE Main preparation – You need to get the study material settled at the outset. If you don’t know how to judge good books, here are few pointers – 1) good books will have very few errors 2) explain the concepts in simple, and easy-to-understand language, 3) cover the topic in detail, 4) contain examples, charts, and other illustrations to explain a concept, 5) contain problem sets for practice, 6) will be published by a well-known publisher.
  5. Solve JEE Main sample papers – You can START solving sample papers after completing a few topics. Find out the questions relevant to those topics in the sample papers and solve them. In the initial phase, you will have very few questions to solve, but as you complete more topics, the question list will grow bigger. This exercise will help you clear the concepts at the very outset and learn how to use concepts to solve a variety of problems.
  6. Take mock tests – Mock tests are meant to be taken a few days before the exam to align one’s body clock with the exam timings, and to get an exam-like ambience to settle in. So, treat mocks like one last hurrah before the final exam. Plug gaps if there are any and get ready for the main course, which is the JEE Main 2025 exam. 

How much time I need to prepare for JEE Main

An exam like JEE Main can’t be tackled just like that. In fact, if you take any regular guy, he or she will need around 6 months time to master the JEE Main syllabus. If you are a genius or a fast learner, that is another matter.

So, it is highly recommended that you START your preparation early.

Note the JEE Main syllabus has three subjects – Maths, Physics, Chemistry. More often than not, students tend to do well in one or two subjects, while struggling in the others.

If that is the case, you need to be rigorous and relentless in your exam preparation. Also, be methodical. This way your effort becomes repetitive which will help retention.

How many TG EAPCET Sample Papers Should Candidates Solve?

There is no fixed number as to how many sample papers one must solve.

That being said, the more the merrier. In fact, a rule of thumb to decide how many sample papers you must solve is – “until you master all problem-solving skills and are able to solve all types of problems”.

Or, even if you are not able to solve all the problems, you must be able to solve most of the questions.

Also, it is important to stress that you must not keep solving the same type of questions over and over again, as it won’t add much value. Instead, the sample questions must include the whole gamut of TG EAPCET probable questions.

Best Books to prepare for NEET – If you are preparing for NEET 2025 entrance exam, you must know that the market is literally flooded with books for each NEET subject.

Also remember, the NEET 2025 exam syllabus is quite vast, and it is advisable not to make things more complicated. Further, the NEET 2025 exam pattern is also revised.

So, identify the main textbooks that you are going to use as reference material. Then you can have a few add-on books to cover the areas that may need additional reading.

How to select the best books for NEET 2025

Here a few salient features that all good books have:

  1. Covers NEET 2025 syllabus – If the books don’t cover the NEET syllabus 2025, there is no point in buying them. Go to the index of the book and check out the topics. Also, read the preface to get a grasp of the target audience of the book. If it is written for the NEET entrance exam, we are good to go.
  2. Latest edition – The same book can have multiple editions. Always buy the latest edition, as it will have the current information. For instance, if there is a change in the syllabus, the new edition will reflect it. Likewise, the new edition will have fresh problem sets and include the latest question papers.
  3. Contain few to no errors – If the book is good, it will contain few to no errors. Now this is crucial when preparing for an exam like NEET. Because it will take more time to unlearn something than to learn it. Also, factually correct books will build your confidence, while the reverse is true for books riddled with errors.
  4. Written for the average joe – You are not participating in any literary competition. Nor do you have the time and patience to deal with books that use flowery and complicated vocabulary to explain simple concepts. Instead, you need books that will succinctly, but in simple language explain the concept at hand. Some books will go on and on when a few phrases will suffice. So, before you buy a book, do some test reading of some topics. It won’t be hard to identify if the book would be useful or be a pain. 
  5. Well known author/ publisher – There are a number of good books for NEET preparation written by newcomers, but before you go for a completely unknown identity, you need to do some research. For instance, check the credentials of the author, what topics he has included, how is his book being received, and is there any negative feedback. If there is any negative feedback, what is it about?
