The NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is an entrance examination conducted annually for admission in Medical and Dental courses. According to official data, an average of 1.3 Million candidates appeared for the NEET 2020 examination.
Recently, the National Testing Agency (NTA) had requested the Union Health Ministry whether the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) could be conducted twice a year from 2021 onward.
According to the latest reports, it is suggested that the education ministry is involved here but the final decision rests with the health ministry.
Anonymous education ministry officials told a reputed media portal that a computer-based NEET 2021 will be more transparent and the evaluation process will be easier with no delay in the declaration of results.
This request from the NTA came into existence after an official from the NTA had highlighted the high level of stress prevailing among the students while preparing for the highly competitive NEET examination.
Hence, conducting the examination twice, a year is seen as reducing the stress and pressure on students. However, for any such decisions NTA needs permission from the ministry to take decisions regarding any such move.
The NEET examination is presently only conducted by the National Testing Agency.
Previously, NTA had stated, “The move to hold the test twice would bring relief to students. However, presently it is not easy to conduct a pen and paper twice as it requires much larger arrangements. The NTA has also suggested that the possibility of holding it in the online mode may be examined.”
Therefore, it was decided that the senior officials of the education and health ministries and National Testing Agency (NTA) would hold a meeting on 25th January to discuss whether or not NEET-UG should be conducted more than once a year in CBT mode.
The main Agenda of the meeting:
- Will NEET 2021 be conducted twice a year?
- Will the exam be held online or offline?
- What will be the exam date or dates?
- When will registration and application form of NEET 2021 be released?
- Will there be a change in exam pattern to include optional questions?
Other Advancements
Earlier, Government officials had announced a report stating, “If NTA can manage the logistics and conduct the examination in online mode, NEET can also be held as a computer-based exam (CBT). It will be a great initiative. As the online exams’ reliability and security are well established, it is time for NEET to embrace the online mode of examination.”
Medical candidates have also been requesting NTA and Ramesh Pokhriyal to conduct NEET 2021 two times over Twitter.
Dr. Rakesh Yadav, President, Faculty Association of AIIMS gave a statement that , “There may be various reasons for which a student may not be able to sit for the NEET exam (in a particular session). If NEET can be conducted multiple times a year like JEE, this would prove to be beneficial for many students. Their academic year will be saved.”
The Final decision on holding the NEET exam in online mode will be entirely the decision of the Health Ministry. It is being expected that conducting NEET online will not only benefit the students but will also make the exam process more transparent and the results of the test will be evaluated faster and more accurately.
Besides, the Ministry of Education has confirmed that the syllabus of NEET 2021 or any other national level entrance exam will not be changed. The application form of NEET 2021 will be released at www.ntaneet.nic.in or www.nta.ac.in.
It is safe to say that this Demand to hold multiple NEET exam sessions has been heavily influenced by the NTA’s decision to hold the JEE-Mains exam 4 times a year
Given NEET is the only entrance exam for undergraduate medicine programmes in the country, more than 16 lakh medical aspirants registered for it in 2020.
THE MEETING ON 25TH JANUARY
As per a recent update, on 25th January a high-level meeting regarding NEET was conducted in the presence of Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal and Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan.
It is being speculated that there was no satisfactory conclusion to the discussion and another meeting on the same issue shall be conducted within a week.
There is no update on the meeting officially. Even news reports are silent about it. At some point, questions also arise as to whether the meeting was held at all.
The meeting was supposedly a very private affair and the details and conclusions of it are not to be shared at the moment.
If any official update on it will come, it will be through the medium of either Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank’s twitter handle, or press release from Ministry of Education, or NTA website nta.ac.in, or NEET UG website ntaneet.nic.in.
Teachers and NEET UG mentors are BEING advising students to stay away from the panic inducing news about the exam and instead focus on the preparations. Last year also there was a lot of chaos surrounding the exam date, and then its postponement.
It is evident that the students are disappointed on the radio silence over NEET 2021 exam date, application form release, and other aspects.
Social Media is fuzzing over the Issues regarding NEET 2021, such as the dates, syllabus and postponement with now the issue of holding two exams in an annual year being added to the list.
WHAT TO DO NEXT?
Education Minister’s twitter handle (@DrRPNishank) is the best source of any information regarding the NEET 2021 where Dr. Nishank posts multiple updates on various topics throughout the day.
It can be said that if the dates of the board exams remain the same and there is no change in the exam pattern of NEET, then the exam date has to be by end of June. However, if the exam happens multiple times then it can be expected that the NEET exams will be in May, June or June, July.
The application form is expected to be released soon.

The Board exams are right around the corner and your preparation in the coming few weeks will play a huge role in your performance in the exams. Let’s have a look at these suggestions about preparing the right way for the CBSE Board Exams 2020.
1. Create a balanced schedule and stick to it - Ahead of beginning the core preparation for the CBSE Board Exams 2020, one must create a schedule as unstructured preparation is bound to create gaps in the syllabus you will have covered. Many students create schedules that give each subject a large window, like 15 consecutive days or even a month, DO NOT do that. The problem that it creates is that once you reach halfway through this schedule, you will have likely forgotten the things you learned in the beginning. Create a balanced schedule. Dedicate each day to at least two subjects.
2. Importance of NCERT material - For the CBSE Board Exams, NCERT books and material has always been of paramount importance. Ideally, a student should be well versed with everything that is written in a subject’s NCERT book, including the examples, questions and exercises. The bulk of a typical CBSE Board Exam will be based on the examples and questions featured in the NCERT books.
3. For English and Hindi - For subjects of English and Hindi, don’t leave them for the end, which most students do. Leaving it for the last week makes it tedious. Start at least 3 months before or include them regularly in your study schedule. Focus on building your vocabulary. The vocabulary building exercise will help you sharpen your communication skills that find use in other aspects of life as well. Of course, don’t try and go into the Shashi Tharoor mode but try and bring flair in what you write.
4. Self-study - The time spent in school and coaching is mandatory but actual effective learning happens when one does self-study. Performance in exams such as the Boards and even competitive ones is a function of self-study. In self-study, there are definitely going to be roadblocks. This is where Filo comes to your rescue, it facilitates effective learning by connecting you with the top minds from IITs and Medical Colleges over video call, the instant you encounter something that hinders your progress.

KVPY or the KISHORE VAIGYANIK PROTSAHAN YOJANA FELLOWSHIP AWARD - 2020, is a program launched by the Government of India’s Department of Science and Technology. The aim is to encourage the nation’s students into considering research-based career trajectories in the areas of the sciences. The exam is conducted to offer scholarships to students up till the pre-PhD level. On clearing the KVPY exam, students become eligible for direct admission into the nation’s top Science institutes like the IISc and the IISER.
The exam has been divided into three streams - SA, SB, and SX.
SA stream - Under the SA stream students enrolled in class 11 in the current year are eligible for the exam. The student must have an aggregate of 75% (65% for SC/ST/PWD) in Science and Math subjects in their 10th class. Students selected under the SA stream get a fellowship when they enroll in Basic Science undergraduate courses in the academic year alongside securing an aggregate of 60% (50% for SC/ST/PWD) in their 12th class.
Stream SB - The SB stream is for students in the first year of an undergraduate program having secured 60% (50% for SC/ST/PWD) minimum in Basic Sciences (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) in their class 12th exams. In addition to that, the students must also secure a minimum of 60%(50% for SC/ST/PWD) in their B.SC/B.Math/B.Stat/etc first year final examination before taking the KVPY exam.
Stream SX: Under the SX stream, eligibility lies with the students in their 12th standard during the current year and are aspiring to join the undergraduate program. The students should have registered a minimum aggregate of 75% (65% for SC/ST/PWD) in their class 10 Science subjects. Under this stream, students activate the fellowship only if they join in the course and have a minimum of 60% (50% for SC/ST/PWD) in their Class 12 Maths and Science subjects.

For students who satisfy the necessary KVPY eligibility criteria and are feeling overwhelmed before taking on the course for the KVPY exam (KISHORE VAIGYANIK PROTSAHAN YOJANA FELLOWSHIP AWARD), here is what the top mentors have to say about the exam.
For the majority portion of KVPY Physics, KVPY Chemistry and KVPY Math sections, the syllabus is largely the same as that required for the IIT JEE. The level of questions in the KVPY are under or at most at par with those that students encounter in IIT JEE Mains. And so, continuation of preparation of the IIT JEE exam will suffice for the KVPY exam as well. As such no specialised KVPY books are required and the material for IIT JEE will suffice. Apart from the preparation, the time management aspect for the KVPY exam is as important as required for the IIT JEE exam.
As observed by previous year students, including those who appeared for the KVPY 2020, one of the major problems faced by PCM students appearing for the KVPY is the Biology element of the exam. To tackle the Biology part of the exam, the students should go through or revise the Biology course of Class 9 and 10. The Biology syllabus of classes 9th and 10th will be sufficient to help students crack the Biology part of the exam.
Once after clearing the written exam, the students need to prepare for the KVPY Interview stage. For the KVPY Interview portion, a deep understanding of the subjects is needed. Since the interview portion has distinguished professors, who are checking for your conceptual knowledge that is within the scope of class 12th, you must be calm, composed and clear in presentation and in thought. The students must also show good composure while giving answers or demonstrating solutions, concepts and theories on a whiteboard.
Securing a KVPY fellowship, be it in the KVPY SX, SA, or SB, and becoming a KVPY Scholar gives a student credible reputation when they go further along in their studies like Masters and PhD in the Sciences. The reputation helps well when being considered for roles in STEM.

One of the major proble for students appearing for the CBSE Boards exam is time management. The consequences for not managing time efficiently can be dire for students. For most of the theory papers the duration is three hours and one needs to have a strategy for finishing the paper as well as revising the entire answer script.
Every student has their own method and approach by these are some of the tips that have worked well for high-performing students. The importance of time management is paramount. These are the five tricks for time management for students, or lets say time management techniques.
1. Having done sufficient amount of practise papers - Students need to solve enough practise or training papers similar to the actual CBSE exams that too in exam environments, like setting a clock for three hours and not having breaks. The activity is helpful for understanding the exam pattern and also getting used to solving 30-40 questions in one go without any large breaks.
2. Going through the paper, identity level of questions - The exam organisers give 15 minutes for students to go through the exam papers. Students must use this time to organise the paper into level of questions - easy, medium and hard. This will help you approach the question paper in an orderly manner.
3. Identifying the easy questions - Although answering the exam in an ordered manner is suggested but it is not mandatory. Getting the easy questions out of the way as it takes lesser time. This also gives you enough confidence before moving into the harder parts of the paper.
4. Allocate time wisely - Students must know how to manage time for study and how much time to allocate to questions. The ratio in these papers is usually 1.5 minute per mark and so one can allocate about three minute to a two mark question and nine minutes to a 6-mark question. Allocation also gives the students the space to figure out how much time would be required to tackle the hard questions and the time that might be left after completing different portions of the exam.
5. Always know how much time is left - Students must always know how much time is left after starting the exam. Students are allowed to carry wristwatches so that they can check the time at regular intervals.
Bonus Tip - Always adhere to the word limit.
After successfully going through the process of JEE Main registration, students need to prepare themselves for the upcoming edition of the IIT JEE.
One thing students must ensure is that they have gone through the jee main previous year question paper, the jee mains 2019 question paper, this will help the students gain perspective about the areas from which questions came up in the exam last time. It also helps to get familiar with the pattern of the question paper by going through previous year question papers multiple times.
It is important to be in the know-how of solving questions from class 11. Students must be keeping in practise with concepts studied in the past. The key for students is that they need to revise concepts and old chapters by repeat readings, and solving some specific set of problems from time to time.
Students should concentrate on subjects and chapters they are confident about. Since each student has their own strength areas, they should try to do maximum questions from these chapters and make it stronger and score the most off of these areas. The basic idea behind this is that the students should not lose any marks in questions from these areas.
Students need to sleep well during this period and take adequate care of their health. Consume healthy food (try and avoid packed or fast food outside) as you need to be vary of catching sickness during the preparation period. you don't need any sickness during this period and relax.
Studying excessively long hours is not necessary for the perfect preparation. Sit according to the number of hours you can give effective attention and take small breaks in between. Try not to worry too much about not being able to stick to a tight schedule, in those moments don't lose hope and start afresh.
JEE Physics will take a huge part in scoring well overall in the IIT JEE exam.
● Firstly, students need to focus on getting their basics strong. If you are in Class 11 then try and get the concepts of the following areas strong right in the beginning - Kinematics, Basic Mechanics, Trigonometry, and Error Measurement.
● Based on the physics taught in classes 8th, 9th, and 10th, the students wanting to score well in Physics in the JEE Main and JEE Advanced, should brush up well on the topics they learned in those classes. Try and brush up on the topics of - Newton’s Laws, Work and Energy, Motion and Electricity, and Electrostatics.
● To round off the preparation of such topics, one must try and complete the exercises in HC Verma on their own. Alongside HC Verma, one can try the exercises and chapters from DC Pandey Physics for JEE and DC Pandey Objective Physics for JEE.
For the first year of your preparation, most of the syllabus for IIT JEE Physics would revolve around mechanics and kinematics. Mechanics is considered one of the high scoring areas in the exam.
The rest of the part of the year would be concerned with Thermodynamics. Thermo also gets easy questions but they can be tricky and so the concepts should be clear.
The tough part of the year would most likely be Circular Motion and Rigid Body Dynamics. For these topics, one would require an intense focus on clearing concepts so that they can be used in tough questions with ease and without any confusion. The topics of Fluid Mechanics and Gravitation are not as tough as Circular Motion and as such can be dealt with with comparative ease.
For the second year of the preparation for JEE Main Physics and JEE Advanced Physics, one will encounter the topics of - Optics, Electromagnetism, Current and Electricity, Electronics and Modern Physics.
For the Electronics part, one needs to just be attentive to what is being told in these chapters about semiconductors and such. Intense preparation is not necessary, basic coverage of the NCERT material should be enough for this topic for JEE Mains.
In terms of preparation for Optics, one needs to have clarity of imagination as it will come in handy a lot in this topic. The questions from Optics can be tricky and so conceptual knowledge and imagination are key to solve them quickly.
One of the most important topics for JEE Physics is Electromagnetism. The topic has a huge number of concepts and formulas. Without conceptual clarity, the topic will be hard to tackle.
Additional Point - Solving questions from books like Krotov and IE Irodov for JEE Physics is not at all necessary. Most of the problems in these books lie outside the area of JEE Mains and as such are not necessary if one has a shortage of time. Try these only if you have a lot of time on your hands.
Chemistry is arguably the most scoring subject in IIT JEE out of all the three subjects. There is a likelihood that students can score 100% in Chemistry if their conceptual grasp is strong. JEE’s easy questions are found in the Chemistry sections, some reckon.
These steps might help students in their preparation for IIT JEE Chemistry -
Step 1 – Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry are all important
Students must try and give the three aspects of IIT JEE Chemistry equal importance. The three parts, namely Physical, Organic, and Inorganic are all connected. A strong in all parts helps students score highly in both IIT JEE MAIN Chemistry and IIT JEE Advanced Chemistry.
I would suggest that students start their preparation with Physical Chemistry and then move to the Inorganic and Organic sections.
Step 2 – The Periodic Table is one of the most valuable resources in Chemistry
Students must remember the most critical parts of the periodic table. They should ideally be able to recite the whole of it. Try and keep a large-format Periodic Table in your vicinity as it will brush up your knowledge of the Periodic Table the elements.
Step 3 – Focus on Reaction Mechanisms
Trying to rote learn reactions is not a great idea, instead, students must focus on understanding reaction mechanisms. Especially when studying Organic Chemistry, try and grasp the mechanisms of the reactions and the behavior of compound families.
Step 4 – Be cognisant of formulas in Physical Chemistry
Students should always be sure of the formulas, especially in Physical Chemistry. Memorize the formulas and models in chemical radioactivity, bonding, chemical equilibrium, and kinetics. Try and solve a lot of problems in Physical Chemistry. Try problems from Numerical Chemistry by P Bahadur.
Step 5 – Pay extra attention to Periodic Table’s d,f-blocks, and coordination compounds
Inorganic Chemistry JEE easy questions tend to be posed from the Periodic Table’s p and s block elements, while students would like to pay special attention to coordination compounds and elements from the d-block.

Mathematics is one of the most important parts of both IIT JEE Mains and Advanced. To gain expertise in the subject one can try these steps in terms of preparation for the JEE Maths -
- Begin with the NCERT textbook - as this will help you build a base that is solid and will lay a foundation to tackle the harder questions that students will encounter in the exam.
- RD Sharma is also a good option to increase the level of questions.
- After having tackled questions from NCERT and RD Sharma, try the questions from previous year papers.
- The previous years' question papers would give you an idea of the level of questions you can expect from the IIT JEE. Apart from that one can try CENGAGE Mathematics for JEE MAINS to get questions that are similar to the level that appears in the Mains as well as the JEE Advanced Maths.
- Get extremely familiar with the model of questions based on the books and the previous years' questions.
- Try and solve other people’s doubts and concepts as it would help you achieve clarity in those areas.
- Books like ML Khanna IIT Mathematics and Arihant JEE Mains Maths are also good to serve as question banks after you have gained sufficient clarity and confidence in the areas of the Mathematics syllabus.
- Students can achieve speed in solving questions only after they have tackled the majority of the model of questions that can come up from each concept/area. Hence, extensive practice is essential to crack IIT JEE Mathematics.
And for any and all doubts in Mathematics, feel free to use Filo to call up math wizards from IITs that are available 24x7 on a video call. That too for free! Download Filo Now
NEET is one of the most arduous exams in the country. Students must be determined while preparing for this medical entrance exam. Here are 5 ways that will help students tackle the exam and polish their NEET prep -
1. Make a practical study schedule - Students should first look to make a practical study schedule as their first step in their preparation for the exam. The schedule should be made in such a way that it helps the students finish their syllabus in the time set according to the exam. And of course, it goes without saying that the students must stick to the schedule dedicatedly so as to not have a pile of pending topics later. Students should set practical and realistic targets according to their own capacity.
2. Thorough knowledge of the syllabus - Candidates need to be thorough in their knowledge of the syllabus that is covered in the exam. This knowledge of course also serves them while making the schedule. Formulating a preparation strategy also depends on their knowledge of each and every minute detail of the syllabus, and as such division of time between the sections can only be done effectively when they know the syllabus thoroughly.
3. Books - Students must be thorough with their NCERT books. Apart from them, here’s a list of books that are recommended for the NEET exam -
Physics - Concepts of Physics by H. C. Verma, Objective Physics by DC Pandey, Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, DC Pandey Physics for NEET
Chemistry - ABC of Chemistry for Classes 11 and 12 by Modern, Concise Inorganic Chemistry by JD Lee, Physical Chemistry by OP Tandon
Biology - Biology Vol 1 and Vol 2 by Trueman, Objective Biology by Dinesh, Objective Botany by Ansari
4. Analysis of previous years’ question papers - It is important that students get familiar with the previous years’ question papers to get familiar with the NEET exam pattern. This way they know which areas get covered most in the NEET exam and which areas they need to work on. Apart from getting to know the recurring areas, the students also can try and work the papers out in the stipulated time periods as this will give them the real-time practice of the NEET exam. Take a look at the NTA NEET 2020 exam to gauge the latest pattern. This way they can work on their speed too.
5. Area-wise weightage - There is always a dilemma of focussing on numerous topics rather than wasting time on less important topics. NEET 2021 chapter wise weightage is evaluated on the basis of the analysis of previous year question papers which will help in the preparation of the exam. The chapter-wise weightage of NEET also allows the candidates to identify the importance of a topic and the number of marks it is likely to fetch.
Experts believe that to tackle the Class 12th Physics exam effectively one must have a grasp on concepts and that thorough reading of the paper always helps towards minimization of errors and the dropping of questions.
1. When facing the exam, firstly, make the best possible use of the 15 minutes of reading time allotted at the start of the exam session.
2. To succeed, one must have a thorough grasp of the NCERT. The CBSE Physics Board exam depends critically on whether you have read the NCERT material from cover to cover. The reading will help you tackle the VSA and the 5 fill in blank questions easily. The board suggested marking scheme is totally dependent on the NCERT.
3. Students should practice MCQ questions from both the NCERT as well as the NCERT Exemplar Class 12th Physics. The exam will feature 10 MCQs and students must get in touch with these kinds of questions beforehand, and one could also try questions from HC Verma Class 12th.
4. Students should be well-versed with the formulae in each chapter and give themselves regular practice related to the formulae-based questions. Try to avoid common mistakes in formulae-based questions.
5. Students should also be thorough with the diagrams and labeling from the NCERT material. This will help them with the diagram-based questions in the exam.
6. Students should go through the ‘Model Answer Copy’ for the last year’s exam that has been made available by the CBSE on their website. This will help them get a clear understanding of how to convey their answers in a crisp and concise way.
7. One should focus on having all definitions, derivations, and inferences on their fingertips for the reasoning-based part of the question paper.
8. If students strike out a certain question and give it a second go in the paper, then they must clearly strike out their previous attempt. If this is not taken care of then CBSE states that examiners should mark the student based on their first attempt.
9. When answering long answer questions, students should try and abstain from answering in paragraphs. Examiners prefer answers that are written in a pointwise format, this highlights structure.
10. Physics CBSE is all about concepts fitting in the real world. So, whenever students study any concept, they should give some time to think up what the implications would mean in the real world, and what applications of the concept could exist in the real world.

Here are a few things that you might want to keep in mind if you want to crack into the top-1000 in JEE 2021 in under two months -
JEE 2021’s syllabus is and most students have low retention for that vast a syllabus. Most students face difficulties in the coverage of topics and that makes their preparation hard. What they can look to do is to revise 10 topics a day, every day. This way they can go through the entire syllabus cyclically and keep their retention high and fresh. In the crunch times, like two months ahead of the exam, students need to cover multiple topics, and while doing that they forget the concepts from the topics studied in the distant past. To find a balance between studying crunch topics and revision, students must dedicate 6 hours to studying new topics while dedicating another 6 to revise old ones. They should break the chapters and bigger topics into smaller pieces. The cyclical way of revision and studying will help them, as it will force every topic in the syllabus to go through your brain every two weeks.
The distribution can lead to something like this - Each week consisting of 20 topics and the same for the next week. Each day can encompass 3 topics from a subject. The entire length of the syllabus will be revised cyclically this way.
Another important facet to consider while preparing in the last few days is that students must keep giving tests alongside the quick revision. Tests will give the students an opportunity to face a wide and different variety of questions.

There are millions of students that are set to appear for the JEE 2021 and despite the best efforts, only a handful of them are going to make it into the cream of the rankings. That brings us to the question - What sets apart toppers from the crowd in such a competitive exam? Here are a few things that previous years’ toppers have to say about making the cut -
1. Belief in oneself -
One of the most important things that a student needs to succeed is a strong belief in oneself and their abilities. Students need to remind themselves of this fact daily. Doing so will etch this belief in their subconscious mind and that will always give them confidence.
2. Be well-versed with NCERT to the last detail
Students preparing for IIT JEE from class 11, and especially without coaching, should recognize that NCERT is one of the most crucial materials for the exam. Almost all the questions featured in the JEE Mains and JEE Advanced too are based on NCERT books. So students should make sure that they are extremely well-versed with the NCERT books thoroughly. A thorough grasp of NCERT will ensure that students can crack the JEE Mains without even coaching.
3. A Time Table/Schedule
Successful people have a trait in common, they always have a set timeline towards their goals - a timetable or a schedule. Students must also recognize that there is nothing more precious than time.
If you really want to be in the cream of the rankings then need to crack the IIT JEE Advanced. For that one needs to know how to utilize time effectively and what topics should get more time and which ones should get less time.
For that students should make a timetable and follow it strictly. And as such for the preparation of JEE Advanced 2021, students need to give at least 10-12 hours daily.
Students should divide their time into three equal parts and study accordingly.
4. Make Your Own Notes
Most students suffer because they do not make their own notes. Making one's own notes help with revision and clearing of concepts on a later date. During the final stages of the preparation, it’s very difficult to go through entire books and so the notes came in handy for such times.
It has been suggested that students should make three separate notebooks for each subject and write down all the formulas of each chapter, and after each formula have two or three solved problems related to the formula.
Also, pro tip - write the SI Units after each solution, this will help with SI Unit questions. Keep revising the formula book every 15 days.
5. Previous Years’ Papers
To get the best feel for the JEE, students can take the help of the exam papers from the previous years. Students should attempt these papers at regular intervals of time. Since currently, JEE Mains occurs two times a day, students can get their hands on around 8 to 10 papers from each year.
Begin solving the papers chapter-wise first, then as a whole.
6. Practise on Test Series
Practice for the exam environment is really crucial for the students who want to make it to the top tiers. Students are encouraged to join a couple of test series. The test series can be joined online these days. Students should try and solve the complete Test series with complete dedication and time consideration. This will help them fare well in JEE Mains and JEE Advanced.
7. Students need smart work
Students need to be creative and need to employ smart work instead of hard work these days. Most students spend so much time on reading lengthy chapters from which only a few questions appear in the exam. Students should smartly divide their time and give more time to chapters that are going to give good returns.
Division of time based on weightage is critical for students to crack the top ranks in the JEE 2021.
8. Don’t go heavy with too many books
Several students emphasize on buying several books for each subject. This leads to them trying to read all of them or none of them. Toppers advise that students should buy just one or two books for every subject and try to get their grasp on those books. Trying to learn concepts from several books can lead to confusion.
9. Distractions
Social media has turned out to be the biggest distraction for students in today’s time. A lot of time can be utilized on important preparation aspects.
If you want to be inside the top ranks, you need to cut out the distractions. Try and distance yourself from mobile phones when studying. Focus is critical.
10. Shortcuts are not all bad
Time is a big constraint in the JEE Mains exam and so to solve a maximum number of questions in the given time you will need to employ shortcuts.
Students should go to YouTube and other such resources and scourge for shortcuts in Maths or Physical Chemistry and such. This will help you save time.
11. Don’t let doubts linger
