JEE Main: How To Prepare At Home, Without Spending A Paisa
Edited By Ramraj Saini | Updated on Apr 19, 2024 07:22 PM IST | #JEE Main
Is it possible to write the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and clear it without spending anything on coaching?
The JEE Main is the main national-level exam for admission to Engineering and also one of the toughest. Over 14.78 lakh candidates wrote it last in 2024. Because it serves as the preliminary screening test for the JEE Advanced through which students are admitted in the premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), competition is intense.
A large section of candidates writing the JEE Main prepare for years and this has spawned an entire industry of coaching centres and institutes that charge to get them ready for the exam. Students often go to great lengths for coaching – many shift to hubs like Kota in Rajasthan. The best-known coaching classes can charge as much as Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh per year.
However, this is not the only way to crack the JEE Main. It is entirely possible to use free resources online and prepare independently with some careful planning and diligence. Here’s how.
JEE Main Prep: The Phases
When students begin their JEE preparation, then they must pass through a series of phases to do well in the examinations. They will go through these phases:
Phases of JEE Main Prep
Plan: Target, Time-Table, Study Material
Planning includes the following steps:
- Set your target
- Prepare your time-table
- Assemble proper study material
The JEE Main is not the kind of examination for which you can wait till the last moment to open your books and still end up scoring good marks. So, one should organise the best routine to complete the syllabus on time. The time-table or routine may vary from person to person but every candidate should have one. You can seek the help of some institutes – they can help the student understand the syllabus and the effort that will be required to complete the exam. Careers360, too, assists with time-table creation. To access that, go to Time-table/Careers360, register free-of-cost. You’ll find the time-table according to the exam you selected during registration.

Use NowDo: Tackle The JEE Main Syllabus
This is the “study” part. Once you have a time-table in place, start following it and stick to it. Start by checking the best lectures available – check for quality and understandability, make sure the language is comfortable before starting the full module. Refer to standard, error-free books for reference. Making notes is absolutely vital. The JEE Main syllabus is vast and it is not possible to revise it fully every time. This is why notes that you make yourself are crucial – they allow for speedy revision. After completing any chapter, practice questions from sources available. Make sure that the resources are error-free and have a wide variety of questions. This will both expand your ability to think laterally, tackle a wide variety of questions and build your confidence.
