Well,
I am a student of IIT Delhi in the computer science branch. I
qualified the JEE 2005 with AIR 56 in mains and AIR 22 in
screening. As far as my experience was concerned, it was very
enjoyable.
No
doubt, the syllabus and the JEE itself is not the easiest, but if
you work hard in the beginning, it is possible to develop the
analytical skills to clear JEE very comfortably with a good
rank.
I started studying from 11 class itself and fully utilized the 2
years. It helps if you can bunk school so that you can not only devote
enough time for the JEE preparation but also find some time for
enjoyment- which will recharge your batteries for the day ahead as
well.
Don't delay the start of your preparation as the more time you
have, the smoother you can pursue the completion of your
syllabus.
Do join a good coaching center as it gives you the necessary
motivation to spend your time preparing for the JEE. Once you get
started, the onus is on you to carry on the momentum.
The center I had joined had very bright students who were NTSE
scholars (I kind of felt very average). But very soon, I was
scoring two-three times of what they were scoring in mock tests and
quizzes.
As far as the books are concerned, I used the following and would
recommend the same to you:
Physics:
Start
with HC Verma in class 11 and of course your study package. If you find
HC Verma too simple, you can leave it and start with FIITJEE study
packages. But it is a good idea to complete part 1 of this book in
class 11.
In class 12, you can start seeing other books, if you feel
confident that HC Verma is too easy for you, start with DC Pandey
(problem book) from Arihant Publications. The questions are a bit
tough so its ok if you can solve 50% of the problems. If you want
to score well in screening, read the NCERT once (which you would be
for your boards anyway). I don't think there is a need for Irodov.
Fiitjee's GMP is also a good idea (only after you have revised your
syllabus to your satisfaction).
Chemistry:
Again, the study packages are important.
Physical-- P. Bahadur
Organic-- Study packages, previous year papers, practice problems
at the end of P. Bahadur
Inorganic-- NCERT, Study packages, practice from P. Bahadur and any
other problem you can find (focus on 3d series)
Going through NCERT is very important!
Maths:
Well,
besides study packages, TMH is the best book. But it is not
everyone's cup of tea!
If you find it impossible to crack even 20% of problems, refer to
previous years papers and study material of some other institute.
You can start with the book in class 12.
Solve it completely and 90% on your own, you are ready for any
question!
Total:
1.Do
join a good test series (Fiitjee is the best I think)
2.Completely solve previous year papers under strict time limit and
honestly evaluate yourself.
3.Test yourself right from class 11 and work on improving your
scores regularly.
4.Read the questions very carefully. The questions are tailor made
for silly mistakes.
5.Concentrate on scoring a specified amount of marks if you find
the paper difficult (don't expect 170/180!).
Conclusion:
The
top ranker usually has a score of 140-150 that is about 80%. If you
completely avoid silly mistakes, it is very easy to get a top 500
rank and with good effort you can get into top 100 or 50.
No one scores spectacularly in all 3 subjects (AIR 21 has 28/60 in
maths JEE 2005!) Hence concentrate on consistency in all
subjects.
Most importantly, stay cool on the day of exam. Think that you have
nothing to lose. Everyone else is under a lot of stress, make full
use of this. Under a situation of no pressure, your performance
will increase drastically. Don't get unduly affected by the
standard of the paper, it is the same for everyone.
Once you get into IIT, you still have to work hard at times, but
not only is life very enjoyable, but your future has no limit as
far as your success is concerned.
Good Luck. And remember, a job enjoyed will always be a job well
done!
