    In the drop year (2023), he focused on his notes as he was already well-prepared. He devoted time to revision and solved standard books, previous year questions, and mock tests. “My revision method was simple but effective. Every week, I closed my books and wrote down everything I remembered in a separate notebook. This helped me identify my weak areas, and I worked on them again. This habit strengthened my concepts and boosted my confidence,” he said while crediting consistency as his mool mantra.

    He ensured that he did not miss a single day of study throughout the year, believing that consistent, small daily efforts are more powerful than irregular bursts of hard work.

    JEE Main 2026 Admit Card Release Date, Time Live Updates: What mistakes should one avoid during JEE preparation?

    One of the biggest mistakes is failing to have a defined study plan when starting to prepare for the JEE. Most students begin to study in an unstructured manner, either hopping from one subject to another or studying from several different timetables that are unrelated.

    The lack of a structured study plan will confuse and prevent students from covering the entire syllabus for the JEE. Therefore, it is important to have a structured study plan that provides a proper balance among the three primary subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Math) and allows for periodic revisiting of the material.

    Another mistake that many students make when studying for the JEE exam is failing to use NCERT textbooks. The NCERT books are the primary resource for many JEE concepts, and students who choose not to study the NCERT books or to use only advanced textbooks may end up having a weak understanding of the foundations of JEE concepts.
