Posted by Raj kumar on August 14th, 2019

For those who are preparing for JEE Main 2020, it might be an awakening experience. Being an engineer, I know it was a whole different phase, be it coaching, self preparation or crash courses, one does everything to get through this exam to get into reputable institutions like IIT's or NIT's. 

First things first. If you were isolated from the world mindstorming about inorganic chemistry or quantum physics, I would like to mention few things which have been changed: 

Latest Change: JEE Main 2020 Application Form is available now. Click here> Application Form.

● Since there will be no offline mode, National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct online exam. But do use a rough paper for solving. 

● NTA will allot centres randomly. 

● JEE main admit card will be issued only online. 

So, without consuming any more time. Let's get started with some basics which might help you to look at the JEE Mains preparation. 

1. JEE MAINS IS NOT A CATASTROPHE It might be a rollercoaster ride but a ride where you come across through an enriching experience. Avoid over thinking. We have present in our hands and we are the masters of our own fate and we have the power to shape our future accordingly. Have control on your mind and don’t let your thoughts take over. 

2. FOCUS IS THE KEY Do you look at the watch after a while you hit off with books? Or do you feel a little unstable right when some topics don't fit right in? Maybe this is because you were in a hurry or you may have prioritized something above your studying at your studying time. If you get stuck somewhere, always try to solve that problem on your own first. This would help you to explore more about your knowledge and if the situation is fishy, try to seek a mentor's help or a friend's help. No matter how small a problem be, never be shy. Stay focused. 

3. ARE YOU STUDYING IT RIGHT? When I say this, I mean studying material. The most important point of your IIT-JEE Preparation is the study material that you select for yourself. Ask your teachers or your friends you believe in. Refer to simple language which will help you to clear the basic grounds in no time. 

4. EAT SLEEP PLAY REPEAT When I say Eat, I don't mean junk food. When I say Sleep, not mentioning sleeping over hours and when I say Play, I certainly don't mean Counter strike or PubG. Healthy food and proper sleep will keep your body in a perfect shape allowing you to exercise your mind while studying. Do remember to exercise or play an outdoor game for some fresh air. 

5. SOLVING PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTIONS Sample question papers are made for your mock preparation but solving previous year questions would help you to boost your confidence. But remember to study thoroughly before stepping too ahead. 

6. TIMING Do remember to take a mock test regularly. This would help your mind to act faster and eventually help you to know about your strong and weak points. 

7. REVISE CONSCIENTIOUSLY Last but not the least, revision. We generally study a topic thoroughly but forget to revise it after an interval. Don't make this mistake because this might come out as a habit. There are a lot of ways to revise the syllabus like planning subject wise, or a calendar or it could be anything suitable to you.
