Cracking the IIT JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) requires strong desire, determination, and fire in the belly. The prerequisite for success in this highly competitive exam is dedicated preparation with JEE preparation books, a strategic approach using JEE PYQ books, and resilience. Stories of 30 underprivileged students who cracked this most coveted exam with the help of JEE books point to one thing: “If you want something badly, no force in the universe can deprive you of it.”
Here is a detailed blog that outlines how and when to prepare for the IIT JEE exam, utilizing resources like JEE Mains books and JEE Advanced books to achieve success.
Start Early: Set the Foundation for Success
Get your basics right with JEE preparation books. No amount of preparation will be sufficient without the conceptual clarity from 9th standard onwards, which is best achieved through JEE PYQ books. There is no substitute for this. In case you missed the bus, you can still take help from foundation courses. “NCERT is your bible,” says Harshita Mahbubani, an IIT Dhanbad student, emphasizing the core role of JEE books. “Though NCERT doesn’t suffice, it does offer a strong foundation for your basic concepts in each subject,” she continues, supplemented by JEE Mains preparation books.
Smart Work vs Hard Work
Harshita says that IIT JEE is not tough but tricky. Even though there is ample free content available online, the trick is to know what to pick up, which JEE preparation books to read, and what topics to focus on. The astute students decode the exam patterns, as evident from previous years' question papers in JEE solved papers, understanding what to expect and where to focus their efforts using JEE Advanced books. They understand which topic is more relevant than others and where to focus their time. Once they get a hang of this with the help of the best books for JEE mains, cracking the exam is a cakewalk. That is what she means by smart work.
What It Takes from the Student
Arshdeep Singh, who secured an all-India rank of 1075, while sharing his secret behind cracking the IIT JEE, says that he had to sacrifice his mobile phone and screen time to begin with. His mother bought him a simple non-smart phone, quoting APJ Abdul Kalam and MS Dhoni, who use such ordinary phones. “A person is recognized by his deeds, not his phone,” she had said, and this inspired Arshdeep to give up his smartphone and sacrifice his screen time. Arshdeep puts a lot of emphasis on self-discipline and consistency, which can be achieved through time management skills and regular practice with JEE solved papers and IIT preparation books.
Know Thyself
Aashish Agrawal, who cracked the JEE in 2002, had failed once but cracked it the second time. What he did differently the second time was to take stock of his own strengths and weaknesses. Based on that, he subsequently chalked out a study plan using insights from JEE Mains books and JEE preparation books. In an interview, he said, “I worked on my strengths (Mathematics and Chemistry) better and figured out a way out for my weaknesses (subjective questions) with the help of JEE PYQ books. I also solved a lot of last year's papers. I gave the exam again, and this time, I cracked it,” with the aid of resources from Disha Publication.
Referring to Quality Study Material
Start by gathering study material from reliable sources, such as reputable publishing companies and standard textbooks. Choose study materials that are comprehensive and cover the entire syllabus, ensuring the books you select include solved and unsolved problems for practice. An additional benefit of using quality study material such as JEE solved papers and Disha Publication's offerings is that it often provides in-depth knowledge of the topics.
Consistency and Practice
When you start the journey of your preparation for IIT JEE, make sure that you are ready to be consistent with your unflinching effort. Practice is the key to excelling in this exam. Regular practice scientifically prepares your brain to accommodate more knowledge and learn new behaviors, which in this case are speed, accuracy, and the calmness with which you handle your exam. The final outcome of consistency and practice is your enhanced confidence level, greatly supported by thorough revision using JEE Advanced books and JEE Mains preparation books.
Conclusion: Setting Yourself Up for Success in the JEE Exam

By starting your study plan early, focusing on regular revision with JEE books, and practicing consistently with JEE PYQ books, you can enhance your preparation and boost your confidence.
