Every year lakhs of students appear for JEE , out of which
only talented (and lucky) few make it to IITs and/or NITs. Despite torturing
themselves for 2 or more years with studies day in and day out many gain
virtually nothing. In this series of posts I will try to break down the
smartest and most efficient way to prepare for JEE main as well as advanced.
So, in this first post lets discuss whick books you should follow per subject for maximium benefits.
Books to refer-
As you all know NCERT is the most important of all the books
available in the market. Not only would it help you in getting thorough with
concepts but scoring good marks in your 12th boards(especially if
your board follows NCERT books).
Moreover, NCERT in itself is enough to get
around 90% score in JEE main Chemistry i.e over 100 marks out of 120. Also the
maths NCERT book is pretty good and should be solved first after going through any
chapter.
Apart from that it goes without saying that your notes are
most important material for your preparation especially during revision period.
PHYSICS –
When you are reading any chapter for first time just go
through NCERT and HC Verma of that chapter. When you are going through NCERT
don’t leave anything untouched for example read all the brown boxes, blue
boxes, in text questions etc. When you start solving problems related to that
topic start with HCV and follow up with study material provided by your
coaching institute. If you still have time go for DC pandey. While revision try
to solve problems from DC pandey and grasp tricks/tips and shortcuts given in
the book.
CHEMISTRY –
For Organic chemistry “solomons” is best during preparation
period along with NCERT where as arihant is good for revision. For problem
solving it would be best to depend on your study material along with MS
Chauhan.
For Inorganic depend completely on NCERT,your notes and one
of the reference books(like Balaji etc.).
For physical chemistry Arihant along with your notes and
study material should be sufficient for reading as well as problem solving.
MATHEMATICS –
For mathematics I think you should follow arihant publication
books.For example, S.K goyal for Algebra, similarly their publication for
calculus etc.Don’t try to solve every single problem in these books but try to
solve a few of every model present.
Keep preparing and if you have any doubts just comment.
