How to prepare for IIT JEE 2016 ?

At Askiitians, all our tutors are IITians with extensive experience in providing online coaching to IIT aspirants.
Here’s an IIT JEE Preparation Guide for you by Askiitian experts:
How to prepare for JEE Main?

When you are preparing for IIT JEE 2016, do remember that your marks in Class XII board exams will play a
vital role. So, you must pay appropriate attention to your board exams. Here are some other preparation tips
for IIT JEE that you must keep in mind:

* Start your IIT JEE preparation with Class XII textbooks that you have. You can also refer to NCERT books
that are prepared by many subject experts and are quite economical too.

* Beware of using too many reference books. Askiitians has a list of important IIT JEE preparation books that
you can use for reference. Use the ones that cover maximum syllabus and suit your learning style.

* It can help you to score more by indexing topics in order of priority or weightage they carry in JEE Main
and Class XII board exams.

* Grill yourself into the basics until all your fundamentals are very clear as JEE Main is specifically designed to
test how well students have grasped the topics and how they apply them to a given set of problems.

* Revise, practice using previous year papers of IIT JEE, check solutions from solved papers, seek help where
needed and revise and practice again.

* Last minute IIT study tips often suggest students to try the IIT JEE paper of last three years.

* Time management is an important factor in JEE Main. So, while solving model JEE question papers, keep an
eye on your watch too. If solving a* question is taking too much time, move on.

Here is a quick glance on the number of questions asked from each topic in AIEEE or JEE Main in the last four
years:

How to prepare for JEE Advanced?

Students are shortlisted for IITs based on their marks in Class XII board exams as well as JEE Main. While
JEE Advance is based on CBSE syllabus, there are a few topics in Mathematics and Physics that you do not
need to cover for IIT JEE preparation:
 Mathematics topics you do not need to cover: Mathematical Induction, Statistics, Linear Inequality and
Mathematical Reasoning.

 Physics topics you do not need to cover: Magnetism & Matter, Electromagnetic Waves, Electronic
Devices (Solids and Semiconductors), and Principles of Communication Systems.
Other study tips you should keep in mind for JEE Advance are:

 To crack JEE Advance, students need a strong understanding of concepts and skills to solve numericals
that need good aptitude and have lengthy calculations.

 Students should solve short-answer questions, subjective-type problems and questions based on assertion
reasoning to develop deep understanding of the subject as well as multiple-choice type questions to build
up speed and accuracy.

Important topics you should cover for JEE Advanced are:

 Physics: Mechanics and Electrodynamics are the two most important topics but one should also devote
time to Heat, Thermodynamics, Optics and Modern Physics.
 Chemistry: General principles of Organic Chemistry are easy to understand. Numericals of Physical
Chemistry are scoring. Inorganic Chemistry has many facts and figures and requires constant revision.
 Mathematics: Master inter-relationship between various topics. Coordinate Geometry and Vectors can help
one to solve problems related to complex numbers. Permutation and Combinations help you to solve
problems of Probability. Trigonometry and Calculus again help one to solve all types of problems.

How to study for IIT JEE 2016?

 Before worrying about how to prepare for IIT JEE 2016, you must prepare for your Class XII board exams
well. You can also buy a set of NCERT books to begin with and make sure that you really understand all the
concepts clearly.
 The second step is to practice JEE papers, analyze your strengths and weaknesses topic-wise, and work on
them accordingly.
 Askiitians offers a facility where you can opt for an IIT JEE test series and get a detailed topic-wise report of
where you have gained sufficient mastery and where you need to pay more attention. This report also
includes recommendations on how to study for IIT JEE 2015.

IIT JEE preparation plan for you

A customized plan for IIT exam preparation can go a long way in scoring good marks. Askiitian experts can
help students to make an IIT JEE preparation plan that considers your daily schedule, preferred study timings,
subjects and topics where you need to pay more attention and devote more time, and number of days before
the exam you have for preparation and revision.
You can design your study plan by keeping these points in mind too. Don’t forget to allot some time for
recreation and exercise too. And at least six hours of sleep!

How to prepare for IIT JEE at home?

IIT preparation material that you use must have a set of previous IIT JEE papers as well as AIEEE papers.
These papers are incredibly important to learn where you actually stand in terms of your IIT preparation. You
can also learn time management by solving these papers.

Never hesitate to approach teachers, subject experts or knowledgeable people within your reach to clear
doubts. There is no such thing as a ‘stupid question’ when it comes to preparation for IIT.

Preparation for IIT JEE 2016 means that you understand concepts enough to take on engineering studies
once you crack IIT JEE. So, make sure you ask for help wherever and whenever you need it.

IIT Tips and Tricks

While there are many sites that offer you generic how to study for IIT JEE tips, here are some specific tips to
crack IIT JEE subject-wise:

Mathematics
 For Mathematics in JEE Advanced, one should pay more attention to Vectors and 3D. Previous IIT JEE
paper analysis also suggests that Complex Numbers and Definite Integral are also asked frequently.
Complex numbers are quite useful in solve coordinate geometry too. Integral calculus too can be used to
simplify problems and save a lot of time.

 In Coordinate geometry, the trick is to acquire good knowledge about various conic sections and learn to
break down tougher questions to simpler basic ones and then, solve the question.

 Matrices can be used to solve equations. A 3X3 matrix visualized as three-planed 3D geometry,
determinants that can be broken as two using a common summand from a row or column, and other such
properties can help students take on tougher questions in less time.

 Using graphs to solve Algebra functions take less time. So, learn to apply vertical and horizontal origin shifts
well. Differential Calculus, especially Rolle’s and Lagrange’s theorem, can help you solve roots of
equations. Useful in solving trigonometric questions. Prepare Permutation - Combination and
Probability well with special focus Baye’s theorem, derangements and various ways of distribution. You
should pay special attention to the fact that objects are identical or not.
Chemistry
 In Inorganic Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry and Chemical Bonding are important. Most of the questions
are related to concepts related to structure, processes and applications.

 In Organic Chemistry, General section, Stereochemistry and Functional Group Analysis are important.
 Speed matters in Chemistry. So, practicing questions with conceptual clarity and applied knowledge of
concepts can go a long way in solving Chemistry questions. Special attention should be given to topics like
Chemical Equilibrium, Mole concept and Electrochemistry.

Physics
 Mechanics should not be neglected in JEE Advanced as many questions are asked from this topic. Most
questions in Mechanics are related to Particle Dynamics and Kinematics.

 To score more, topics Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Modern Physics are best.

 Thermodynamics is an important topic both in Physics and Chemistry that can be covered quickly too. One
should take it up after mastering Wave Optics.

Online IIT preparation

in remote areas where they cannot find a good enough coaching institute. Besides, IIT JEE preparation can
be quite expensive too.

Online IIT preparation is ideal for students who choose to study at home. Askiitians not only offers all the
details about how to crack IIT JEE, free IIT JEE study material and tips for IIT preparation but also has
experienced tutors with years of online teaching experience and firsthand experience of cracking IIT JEE and
studying at IIT.

These tutors can tell you insider tips about how to prepare for IITJEE, and can help you with your studies at
any stage.

Packages available are quite flexible too. You can opt for comprehensive and complete IIT JEE coaching
package or can just appear for test series and get a detailed subject-wise and topic-wise analysis of your
performance. You can also approach Askiitians just to solve specific and individual queries.
