Preparation for Indian Institute of Technology [IIT] Entrance Exam

Ok so you guys have read a lot about last minute IITJEE preparation’s by the experts? How about a preparation guide straight from an IITJEE aspirant? Enjoy this post

“Hi, I am sharan. Here, I am going 2 give a blueprint for those STARTING their preparation in august (in their 12th). Following these points meticulously will help you to get into IIT’s, even though you have started your preparation VERY late.

1) IGNORE your boards completely till January end.

2) Go to http://www.iitd.ac.in/jee/ and download the syllabi for P,C & M and stick to it VERY STRICTLY while doing any of the topics from the books listed below.

3) Buy these books:

Physics:

HC Verma (vol 1& 2) - done thoroughly with full understanding of concepts

Chemistry:

NCERT books (only for the theory - not the assignment problems!) +                               

IIT chemistry by TMH (Tata McGraw Hill - complete the whole book)

* don’t neglect chem. It’s the most scoring & least analytical. Either you know it or you don't {as chem is: mugging of facts (inorganic and organic) & mathematics (physical)}

Math:

IIT Math’s by ML Khanna - don’t look at the solution immediately if you don’t get the problem. Look into it only after making a lot of attempts (at least 4 fresh attempts).

Solve this book fully.

4) By the time you complete the above books, it is the end of your December holidays (ie, you get 4.5 to 5 months)

5) In the meantime, (around august middle) join Brilliant tutorials YG Files (screwingly tough problems book) & B.MAT (test series). The above 2, come under one course. Go to www.brilliant-tutorials.com and apply. Don’t apply for FIITJEE test series, as it is supposed 2 be unnecessarily tough.

6) Start solving the YG Files ONLY AFTER completing the text books listed, else, you will get  the impression that IIT is beyond your reach.

Do the test analysis of brilliant properly and improve your timing

7) ##oh yes, forgot to tell you:

i)   During school days, devote 5 hours (effective, concentrated time) for IIT preparation alone.

ii)  In holidays, devote 8 hours for IIT alone.

iii) In your study holidays, start studying for boards (5 hours/ day would do). Side by side, revise IIT stuff for 5 hours.

8) After boards, till 2 days before the actual IIT-JEE, slough out for 12 hours of concentrated study devoted for IIT. Revise and strengthen all your concepts in all the books and tests you have done so far. 2 days before IIT JEE, STOP studying/thinking about studying & do some relaxation techniques such as meditation etc for temperament control. Get all the sleep you can ask for and go to the exam with a fresh mind and with brimming confidence.

9) You are going to receive the fruits of your hard work a month later when you are deemed successful in IIT JEE. You are now an IITian!!!

HOPE you found this article ’very useful’. “
