JEE Main 2020 Revision Cycle Suggested by Pramod Maheshwari

Pramod Maheshwari suggested a cycle or strategy that a candidate should follow for JEE Main 2020 Revision in 60 days. The strategy is mentioned below-

1590062173797


Day 1: Study a Chapter Completely

Day 2: Solve related problems or questions

Day 3: Attempt Chapter-wise mock tests

Next, on day 4, candidates should study a new chapter and follow the suggested plan. This cycle should be repeated until the entire JEE Main syllabus is completed.

60 Days Revision Strategy for JEE Main 2020

Study a Chapter Completely- Candidates should make a subject-wise time-table first and then accordingly take up one chapter in a day and complete the entire theoretical portion. One day is enough for one chapter as you are revising the chapter, you have already done it before. Candidates must ensure that the time-table should be made such that the syllabus of all the three subjects is completed.

Solve Chapter Related Problems- Next, after studying the chapter completely, candidates should devote the next day to solve different problems and numericals related to the chapter. Candidates should solve as many problems they can in the entire day.

Attempt Chapter-wise mock tests- Next day, candidates should attempt mock tests on the chapter they studied. This will help them check their performance and they will also be able to analyse their mistakes. Candidates should write down the mistakes made by them in the tests and work upon them.

Full-length mock tests- As per Pramod Maheshwari, candidates should start attempting full-length JEE Main mock tests in the last 15 days of their revision plan. Full-length mock tests means tests having questions on all the three subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and are exactly the same as the actual exam. Candidates are advised to attempt these tests in an environment similar to examination hall so as to have a real feel of the examination. Attempting full-length mock tests will help the candidates to improve their speed and time management skills. Candidates will also feel more confident after attempting these tests.

If candidates feel they can study two subjects in a day then they can do that also. But they should solve related problems and attempt chapter-wise mock tests for both of them simultaneously. A proper strategy actually depends on the candidates, so they can frame it accordingly.

Questions related to JEE Main

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.
