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!

First you have to Think if you are a IIT-JEE aspirant

Realising the IIT dream Take your pick. What does it take to get into the fabled world of IIT. Hard work? Dedication? Luck? Or is it I-am-good-at-my-subject confidence? Or is it coaching at Ramaiah Institute? If you picked only one of them, you may not land up at the IIT at all. It is all of these and none of these. Welcome to the world of billion-dollar possibilities and cipher misses. Of two-year bookworms and of parental sacrifices.They may be the next big wave. The people who will create a splash and something more in whatever they do. To top it, this year, more than 200 17-year-olds got the coveted IIT seats from Andhra Pradesh. What made them tick the right choice?A few days after the good news of securing an under-100 rank, life is not easy, though it might be exciting. Shrikant is in Mumbai making his choice between physics and chemistry Olympiad. Ravikant Shastri is preparing for the maths Olympiad. Pramod and Mohan Krishna are in Chennai preparing for chemistry Ol...

Advice From IIT JEE 2017 Topper : Start Your Preparation

Many students who have entered class 11 this year have been worried about preparation.  So this is for you! There is a huge gap between class 10 and class 11 . More syllabus, tougher questions , and above all pressure of JEE preparation . So things become very difficult for many students. Many of you might not be able to catch up with your studies. It is very normal and you must not take stress of any sort. Many of you might not be able to solve kinematic problems but don't worry. After two years you would be laughing on them. Same goes for all other topics. Those who are doing well keep up your hard work and start going for tougher questions from Irodov, etc. Be regular with your studies and complete all your assignments regularly. Never leave any concept untouched as backlogs build up very fast and it becomes very difficult to cover later on. If you are unable to solve a problem don't worry, discuss with teachers. Many people waste their 11...

How to crack IITJEE without coaching? Toppers Suggestions

Many students don't have access to coaching and do self studies. This article is for them. You might think that you are lagging behind coaching students but you are not. What counts the most is your effort, dedication, and confidence. You even have the freedom to study at your own pace and can have a good study schedule. According to me a good plan is this: First study in your school. Pay attention well. Then come home and solve school homework. Now you know some basics. Time to take it to JEE level . Use some standard books like HC Verma, Solomons edited version, JD Lee edited version, Arihant skills in mathematics to study topics at JEE level. You might also like to have some DLP packages for objective problem practice. Resonance material is really very good, you might take it. You may also join test series if you think you are doing well at home and want to know your standing. Try to solve questions from books which have solutions as you might ha...
