Internet and various social media websites are flooded with the inquiries by JEE aspirants seeking ways to qualify JEE Main examination. Following are the important tips that should be kept in mind while preparing JEE Main Study Plan 2019:

1. Don't Forget NCERT Books:

According to the past year trends, a major portion of JEE Main examination is based out of NCERT textbooks. By now you would have been surely advised by your parents, teachers, mentors and seniors to study from your NCERT textbooks while preparing for JEE Main entrance examination but most of the time we ignore these books. As NCERT books focus on concepts, if always better to cover all the topics from NCERT books first before switching to other books.

2. Don't Refer Too Many Books:

Referring to too many books might confuse you and slower the preparation pace. It's always smart to study from the books suggested by the teachers and mentors and complete them thoroughly. You can also refer separate books for theory and practice. Do remember to practice questions simultaneously while covering the topics. This will surely save your time and help in developing a better understanding.

3. Work on Your Weaker Areas:

Every student has their own weaker and stronger areas. Don't run away from the topics where you are not very efficient or where you are rarely confident of scoring a good mark. You don't know how much weight that question might carry in the upcoming examination. So rather than avoiding, work seriously on your weaker areas and analyze your improvements.
