Physics,Mathematics Preparation : Advice From IIT JEE 2017 Topper


Physics

Physics is an interesting as well as tough subject for JEE.
Basically, you need to have clear concepts. When you see a problem you must know which formulae to apply and which not to. I would say reading books helps. Also solve a good number of questions which covers all types of problems.
Must do's are NCERT, HC Verma, previous years' papers and a good objective question bank(like DC Pandey Practice problems book, or MCQ by D Mukherjee or a good coaching material).
You can also use books like Irodov, Resnick Halliday(I used Krane Edition), Krotov, Olympiad papers, etc. However these are not really necessary but develop good grip, and are useful for Olympiads.

Mathematics

Many students have problem in solving Mathematics questions. There is just one solution to this problem: practice.
When you study a topic in mathematics, first study the theory of a small section, like study summation of AP formula and derivation, then solve a few formula based questions to learn it. Then go for tough questions.
When you see a question, first try to figure out the possible approaches. E.g. if you see iota then surely it's from complex number. Now think of the list of possible formula.
One among them is to be used. Try to remember a previous problem similar to the current one. It will help. Now just calculation is left.
Increase speed by solving more and more problems. It would develop more ideas and increase marks and knowledge. When stuck at a problem, first complete other works and then come to it. Use whatever idea comes to your mind to solve the problem, one of them would work.
Books include: Arihant skills in mathematics, A Das Gupta, previous papers, etc. Coaching study material is also very good.

BOOKS

Books which are required in general for both studying theory and concepts. I will mention good books for objective practice which can be used for additional practice.
The best option is to use a good coaching material. Then you can go for following books.

Physics- MCQ by D Mukherjee, DC Pandey problems book.

Mathematics- A Das Gupta may be used but here only coaching material works if you want a good collection of objective problems.

All the best!

Future of IIT JEE

The joint entrance examination (JEE) for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) is likely to become history from 2013 as the central government Tuesday decided to work on a common entrance test for all government engineering colleges. 'By 2013, we should have in place a common system for common admission into professional institutions in the country,' Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said Tuesday after meeting at least 20 school education boards from across the country. 'As per the score of the entrance, selection will be made. Let's say, the top rankers may go to IITs, the second bests will go to institutions which are a step below the IITs...so on,' Khuntia elaborated. 'The system will benefit the students most.' Explaining the situation, HRD ministry joint secretary S.C. Khuntia said: 'We will work for a common entrance test for every stream. One examination for all engineering institutions, which means IITs w

Here's how you can achieve success in the IIT JEE exam

Here's how you can achieve success in the IIT JEE exam -   1. Focusing on the goal is absolutely necessary, if any. You must have a strong desire to achieve the goal. There should be no target to distract the target and between you. 2. Positive attitude to success is very important. Believe in yourself, work hard, stay firm, believe that success will be needed. 3. No substitute for hard work. Everyone should be fearlessly endeavoring. This is the super-30 success formula. Students should never give up and work hard day and night. 4. An examination can not decide the victory and defeat in your life. The efforts should continue. Mistakes happen, they learn a lot from them. After realizing the mistake, steps can be taken to correct it. 5. Patience is very important for success. Many times we try hard to live without life and accept defeat if we fail. Failure should not be disappointed. Understand this as a step towards success. 6. Understanding theories and formulas i

How to Improve Test Perfomance :IIT JEE Topper

Another problem faced by many students is test performance . You study a lot, you know everything, you practice a lot, but still get less marks. Some factors which affect test performance are speed, accuracy, knowledge, paper attempting strategy, composure, and concentration. For speed you should try to solve exercises at home in limited time like tests. Knowledge develops over time as you study and practice more. Accuracy can be improved by quickly rechecking the answers by p lugging in values, reading options and questions twice, carefulness while solving, etc. Paper attempting strategy is also very important. For me it was like this after some experimentation. I attempted all easy and memory based questions in chemistry first, then I went to mathematics and solved a few very easy formula based questions, then I went to physics and solved easy and conventional questions.  Then I attempted chemistry almost fully except the very tough and unknown questions. Th
