JEE Main 2021 Chemistry Preparation Tips By Mr. Ram Ratan Dwivedi - Joint Entrance Exam Main (JEE Main) is the national level test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Top engineering institutes in India like National Institutes of Technology (NIT), IIITs and GFTIs accept JEE Main scores for admissions to the B.Tech courses. NTA JEE Main is also a qualifier test for IIT JEE (JEE Advanced). JEE Main exam has a fixed exam structure and consists of three subjects – physics, chemistry, and maths. Paper-1 is of three hours and consists of thirty multiple-choice questions, 4 marks are awarded for correct answers and 1 mark is deducted for incorrect answers. The authorities have introduced a new JEE Main pattern.

Tips for JEE Main chemistry 2021:

JEE Main chemistry section is considered the most fruitful section in obtaining good marks in comparison to physics and mathematics. It requires a lot of practice of chemical equations, bonds and numerical. One should make a habit of learning by writing the equations as frequently as possible because they cannot be remembered orally.

It is considered as the rank deciding subject in most competitive exams because it comprises mostly theoretical based questions in comparison to physics and mathematics and so it is also the most scoring subject. The main strategy to score well is to analyse previous year JEE Main question papers and strengthen the topics which have mostly occurred. To make the study process more efficient you can check your performance through online test series which are based on the exam pattern. There are 15-18 tests papers for JEE Mains and 9-10 tests papers of JEE Advance, after giving tests you will get your performance report which will help you find your area of improvements and your speed.

This section deals with the understanding and observing of the physical and chemical properties of different matter around us. It covers 40% of the JEE Main Chemistry paper and includes the basic concepts and formulae. A good tip is to make detailed notes on each topic and avoid skipping regular practice to crack these numerical questions.

Some important concepts in physical chemistry are:

  1. Mole concept

  2. Equilibrium

  3. Atomic structure

  4. Chemical Bonding

  1. Organic Chemistry:

It might seem difficult at first, but you can master this part with regular studying. The more you remember the reactions, structures and compounds thoroughly, the better. Do you know you can actually attempt this section in just 20 minutes if studied well? The trick would be to understand the fundamentals and mechanisms rather than learning by heart. Don't forget to make notes on the important topics and keep revising them every week.

Some important sub-topics for chemistry are:

  1. Hydrocarbons

  2. Organic compounds containing Halogens, Oxygens, Nitrogen

  3. Purification and Characterization of Organic Compounds.

  4. Nomenclature

  5. Polymers

  6. Chemistry in Everyday Life

  1. Inorganic Chemistry:

This is relatively much easier than any other section and doesn’t include any problem-solving questions. Therefore, this is a very time-saving section. Moreover, it contains very simple and straightforward questions that you can easily cover from NCERT XI and XII books.

Study the methods of preparation, uses, chemical reactions of compounds thoroughly as they are the important topics and cannot be missed.

Some important sun-topics in inorganic chemistry are:

  1. Coordination Compounds

  2. Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

  3. s-block elements (Alkali and Alkaline earth)

  4. p-block elements

  5. d and f block elements

  6. Hydrogen

Practise conversions and reagents daily along with chemical reactions and their mechanisms. Daily practise and revision will help you make your mind stronger until JEE Main Exam.

With the right procedures, you can crack this hard nut without fail. You simply need to have self-confidence and keep practising via mock exams, which are extremely helpful. Remember, that this is the paper that can bring you the maximum scores, so do it well.

Preparing for the JEE Main in just 30 days is a challenging but achievable task if you follow a highly disciplined and strategic approach. According to the Careers360 30-day study plan , the key is to shift your focus from learning everything to mastering high-weightage topics and practicing rigorously.

Phase 1: Week 1 & 2 – Focus on High-Weightage Chapters

During the first 15 days, prioritize topics that frequently appear in the exam.

  • Physics: Modern Physics, Heat & Thermodynamics, Optics, and Current Electricity.

  • Chemistry: GOC (General Organic Chemistry), Chemical Bonding, p-Block elements, and Solutions.

  • Maths: Matrices & Determinants, Sequences & Series, Coordinate Geometry, and Vector & 3D Geometry.

  • Study Strategy: Use NCERT for Chemistry and simplified notes for Physics/Maths. Spend 3-4 hours on each subject daily.

Phase 2: Week 3 – Revision and Formula Memorization

  • Short Notes: Go through the short notes you made during the first two weeks.

  • Flashcards: Use flashcards for inorganic chemistry reactions and physics formulas.

  • Mock Tests: Start giving one full-length mock test every alternate day. Analyze your mistakes immediately to avoid repeating them.

Phase 3: Final Week – Full Simulation and Relaxation

  • Previous Year Papers (PYQs): Solve the last 3-5 years of JEE Main papers in the actual exam time slot (9 AM–12 PM or 3 PM–6 PM) to sync your body clock.

  • No New Topics: Stop picking up new chapters. Focus solely on what you already know to build confidence.

  • Accuracy over Speed: Focus on getting the questions right rather than attempting all of them, as negative marking can significantly lower your percentile.

Hello,

If you filled the JEE Main January form with Class 12 passed in 2025 and are planning to appear again for the Class 12 exam through HOS, there is usually no serious issue. You were eligible to apply since you had already passed Class 12. Reappearing through HOS for improvement or requalification is allowed, provided HOS is a recognized board. During counselling, your latest valid Class 12 result will be considered. Make sure you meet the 75% marks or top 20 percentile requirement where applicable. If a correction window opens, update details if needed.

Hope this has solved your query. Thank You.
