    • Creating a study timetable- It is always advisable to create a study timetable. Since the JEE Main exam has a lot of syllabi from classes 11 and 12, candidates are required to create a timetable providing time for each subject. Candidates have to focus more on their weaker areas during their preparation. 

    • Study material- To get admission to top NITs or IITs of India, or to qualify for JEE Advanced, candidates have to make sure they understand the fundamentals of the topics asked in JEE Main exam 2026. For that, referring to JEE Mains best books is essential. Moreover, candidates can also refer to the previous year JEE Main question paper, and mock test to enhance their preparation.

    • Attempt JEE Mains Mock Test - The mock test of JEE Main helps to boost confidence as well as provide knowledge of the type of questions asked in the exam. Candidates who solve the mock tests of JEE Mains have a high chance of getting good marks in the entrance exam. 

    • Revision notes- During studying, candidates should make sure they create short notes/revision notes. With the help of the JEE Main revision plan, candidates will be able to revise the important points quickly.
