First of all, the day one started when you thought of preparing for the I.I.T. , and been a even a little serious about cracking the IIT-JEE
Then he/she always knew that this time was going to come. So, nothing much unexpected!
O.K. So, let's try to analyze our situation. We have 4 months in hand that is some 120 odd days to ourselves.
Let the aspirants be assured that this is more than the time required.
It is the beginning of December; therefore the student would have covered at least 75 percentage of the prescribed course for the J.E.E. at least once by now, be it through self study or through some coaching. So, by now, the aspirant has covered most part of the syllabus. It's the brush-up time.
Now, we have two tasks.
Task One: To brush up and keep brushing up whatever has been learnt so far.
Task Two: To add the extra 25 percent of the course that is left.
Let us decide that we need to cover up the entire syllabus' revision in 75 days. The aspirant would have been taking tests and revising different topics at different times now and then. But, this time, let us assume this is your LAST time.
Therefore this time, the student should go through all the reading material/notes that he/she has been following all year long, THOROUGHLY not missing absolutely anything.
First of all, divide your vast syllabus into everyday task. Cover at least one heavy topic each day. When we talk about covering, we mean EVERYTHIING you need to know about that topic in order to be able to solve the problems, including notes, examples, some problems that you came across while studying it for the first time.
If possible, add a small topic to some days when one topic is not very big. The idea is not to let yourself excessively loose, nor should your time-table be very squeezed. This division of each day syllabus is the crucial-most step of the bigger plan. Keep it such, so that the pressure is JUST RIGHT.
It would be better if you would mix the subjects that is do Physics for two-three days, then, may be shift to some topic of Chemistry or Math. This would help keeping things not-exhausting.
Now, once you have brushed up a topic, solve some random problems from a book specifically on that topic.
Now the most important task during all this is to mark the examples or formulae you find difficult to remember.
REMEMBER, these should not be too large in number. Most of them should be covered considering this as THE LAST revision.
All this time, when we have been brushing up the older topics, remember that the newer topics that are now being taught need to be kept track of.
During all this, try to regularly take tests on weekly or biweekly basis, and only one thing needs to be made sure that you do the topics you have revised till the test date, well. So, by the end of this phase one, your syllabus is complete for once and for all!
NOW, EVEN IF ONE ASKS YOU TO WRITE THE EXAMINATION THE 76th DAY ITSELF, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST SAY "YES".
Remember that even if this period goes to 80 days, it is perfectly fine.
Alright now, we have around a month (+ 10 days) left. This needs to be utilized in practicing problems, on all topics and within time limit. Solve, two test papers each day within time and analyze your errors that may have stayed after Phase one.
Every day, the idea is to exactly point them out and GET RID OF THEM. It can be a forgettable formula, a sign convention mistake, an individually weak topic particularly for you or anything for that matter. JUST GET RID OF IT.
During Phase Two, try to stay in continuous touch with the topics like inorganic and organic chemistry and other such topics.
After Phase Two, if you have followed the routine sincerely enough, you are ready for any Engineering Examination.
This Phase two has to be summed up 2-3 days before the Examination. For these last days, just take enough sleep, and take healthy food.
Lastly, this be mentioned that whatever strategy has been suggested above is just one way to prepare. There are a lot of them and one can follow any of them.
P.S.: The views expressed here are author's own views and all have the right to have their own opinions about these; and to follow these or not. One may have his/her own strategy and opinions.
IITJEE Simplified - How to practice problems?
IITJEE is an exam that is totally based on problem solving. Whether it is physics or chemistry or mathematics, hardly any theoretical questions are asked. Mostly it is numerical based questions. Because of this nature of IITJEE, students preparing for IITJEE exam should spend most of their time in solving more and more problems.
There are many students who are spending lot of time on problem solving but even though they are not able to score in exam. This is because they don’t remember ideas/tricks of many questions in exam which they should have solved. This happens because while doing problem solving, they learn things but they do nothing to retain them in their memory i.e. they solve problems but don’t revise them. To repeat, they need to retain. To retain, they should learn/memorize the ideas/tricks of the questions, To learn/memorize, they need to put efforts and time as well as they should follow the correct approach.

Dos and Don'ts For Joint Entrance Examination(JEE)
JEE is an exam which requires a high level of perfection in all respects - particularly in memory, logic, speed, and quantitaive analysis. Such perfection requires constant practice. Here, I would like to provide tips which may help my friends clear this exam.
Disclaimer: Though I have got a good rank of 96, my beginning (from X) was pretty ordinary - so I expect this guide to help the majority of students. Also, since I'm not a qualified instructor, I can only give my personal point of view.
1] Regular homework and studies. I mean, really regular, as in never-failed-to-complete-my-homework-on-time type regular.
2] Relaxation and timepass. Yeah. Really. All study and no play makes Jack a nut-case. But don't overdo it - 1 hour at the maximum per day.
3] Isolation. The more friends you have, the more possibility of you getting distracted. Keep a safe distance, avoid most parties and hangouts. The lesser, the better.
4] Taking tests. Join a test series, maybe two, or as many you want - I recommend FIITJEE. Constant tests help you practice and prepare your mind for the JEE pattern. If the tests are to be given at home, do them at the proper time in an isolated room.
5] Finish your syllabus by January, if you are a fresher. If you are dropping, do make sure you complete the syllabus.
6] Keep a positive attitude. Approach new topics with interest, not with an another-topic-to-mug attitude. Do some research on wikipedia, try to find applications in day-to-day life. This will help create interest in the topic and improve your understanding as an engineer.
7] Mental and physical exercises, like meditation and yoga. For further details, contact spideyunlimited.
AND FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT:
8] Attend all lectures, as in perfect 100% attendance. Quite a no-brainer, this one.
Don'ts
1] Overstress - the deadliest killer is sighted often among JEE students.
2] Procrastinate. As in, put off tomorrow what you can do today.
3] Hang out and waste time.
4] Worry too much. This is a major problem I've seen. People worry so much about classes / test series/ correspondence / teachers / batches / quality / notes / books / college / friend / girlfriend / food / hostel / accomodation .. u get the point... If I were to say it bluntly - just shut up, open the book, and start doing the damn problems!!
5] Lose confidence, or be over confident. IF you lose confidence, go to the forums, we can help you. If you are over confident, just contact me Just joking... Remember that there may be (will be) students out there smarter than you. This applies even if you are the topper of any institute.
6] Sleep less / eat less. The body is like any machine, and needs proper rest. Regular sleep of atleast 7 hours is a must.
Now i want to tell you that GOIIT.com which is a leading online education portal provides a platform where students or engineering aspirants can have online engineering entrance examination tutorials for competitive exams like IIT-JEE, AIEEE, BITSAT, etc. The portal intends to provide an elite expert panel, comprising IIT students, graduates and engineering coaching professional who have a common passion for Engineering Entrance exams in particular and science in general. The panel will provide online guidance to students appearing for the JEE. The biggest asset of the venture is that it is free, no subscription cost either! This comes as a huge-advantage to the student community who has been craving for personalized help, but could not afford it due to costs or demographics. It also breaks all geographic barriers to bring together some of the best brains in the industry to help nurture the next generation.
