Careers360: Congratulations on your performance in the JEE Main January 2025 exam! What was your reaction upon knowing your score?

Chirag Singh: I am really happy and satisfied with my performance. Everyone in my family is very happy.

Careers360: Tell us something about yourself. Which board have you studied under? Which school have you studied in?

Chirag Singh: I am in my class 12th right now. I have studied in CBSE Board only at Lucknow Public School.

Careers360: When did you decide to study engineering? Which branch would you be interested in? Any reason?

Chirag Singh: Right after class 10th when we had to choose our streams, I decided I wanted to study PCM subjects for engineering. I am interested in pursuing CS branch. My top preference is IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi.

Careers360: Did you take coaching for JEE Main and if yes from where? What are the benefits of coaching according to you?

Chirag Singh: Yes, I am a Allen Online student. The faculty at Allen helped me a lot for the JEE Mains exam. Also, the institute provided me a lot of resources like mock tests, notes and other practice questions.

Careers360: Tell us about your exam day. What was your exam date and shift? What was your question paper like? Did you have to face any technical glitches in your online exam?

Chirag Singh: So I took the exam on January 22 shift 1. The mathematics section was easy. Physics subject was overall easy but did have a few tricky questions. The chemistry part has a few difficult questions. No, I did not face any technical issues in the JEE Main exam.

Careers360: Tell us something about your preparation strategy and daily routine for JEE Main.

Chirag Singh: I did study for 7-8 hours regularly. However, my preparation strategy was not limited to any particular number of hours and work towards completing it. I would keep studying until I met the set target so my study hours would extend many times.

Careers360: What are some of the challenges you faced while preparing for JEE Mains?

Chirag Singh: Yes so there was one particular challenge that I faced during my JEE preparation. It was difficult to manage both school and JEE Mains preparation. I would then take my coaching homework to school and finish it during any free periods I would get.

Careers360: Did you face any difficulties since the examination was conducted completely in computer-based mode?

Chirag Singh: No. I practised multiple mock tests to get used to the format of the exam. So I did not face any issues.

Careers360: How did you de-stress yourself during the preparation? What are your hobbies? How often could you pursue them?

Chirag Singh: If I was stressed I would turn to talking to my friends. The best de-stressing activity for me is cycling.

Careers360: What was your parent's contribution during your JEE Mains exam preparation like?

Chirag Singh: My parents greatly contributed to my JEE Mains preparation. They ensured I had a healthy diet throughout and stayed healthy without having to miss out on any preparation days. They also ensured I remained disciplined.

Careers360: Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you practise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year’s papers helps and how?

Chirag Singh: Yes I took more than 100 mock tests throughout my exam preparation. In the last month of my JEE preparation alone, I gave about 25-30 mock tests. My coaching also had regular tests series that I took.

Careers360: You know you are an inspiration to thousands of students across the country. Do you have any message for future aspirants on tackling the JEE Main exam?

Chirag Singh: I would say listen to your teachers and believe in yourself. All those who want to ace this exam should understand the reason why they want to appear in it and clear it. If you do that then you can figure out how.

Careers360: Will you be appearing for the April session of JEE Main 2025 too?

Chirag Singh: Yes, I will be appearing in the JEE Main 2025 session 2 exam also.

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello,

Yes, you may get a chance to correct it.
NTA usually opens a correction window before each session. In previous years, candidates were allowed to change their photo if it did not follow the guidelines, including background issues.

For JEE Main 2026 also, the correction window is expected. When it opens, you will be able to upload a proper photo with a plain white background.

What you should do now:

  • Keep checking your JEE Main login for any correction option.

  • Keep a correct photo ready (white background, clear image).

  • If NTA flags your photo, you can update it during the correction period.

So yes, you should get a chance to fix it once the correction window opens.

Hope it helps !

Hello,
The JEE main 2027 will include three subjects: Physics, chemistry and Mathematics.
PHYSICS:
Units and Measurements: kinematics, laws of motion, work, energy & power: rotational motion & moment of inertia: gravitation: properties of solids and fluids: thermodynamics: kinetic theory of gases: oscillations & waves: electrostatics: current electricity; magnetism & magnetic effects of current; electromagnetic induction & alternating current; optics; atoms and nuclei; modern physics topics.
CHEMISTRY:
Physical chemistry (basic concepts, mole concept, stoichiometry; atomic structure; chemical bonding; thermodynamics; equilibrium; chemical kinetics; solutions and chemical reactivity), inorganic chemistry (periodic table, classification of elements including p-, d-, f-block, coordination compounds), and organic chemistry including basics of hydrocarbons, organic compounds containing halogens/oxygen/nitrogen etc.
MATHEMATICS
Sets, relations & functions; complex numbers and quadratic equations; matrices and determinants; permutations & combinations; sequences & series; limits, continuity & differentiability; integral and differential calculus; coordinate geometry (lines, circles, conics); 3D geometry; vector algebra; trigonometry; statistics & probability.

Hope this helps you.

That's the most efficient approach to preparation! The entire JEE Main Syllabus is fundamentally based on the topics covered in the NCERT Class 11th and 12th textbooks for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Here's what you need to know:

  • NCERT is the Core: Approximately 60-70% of the JEE Main syllabus directly comes from the NCERT books. You must consider these textbooks as your foundation and cover every single topic and exercise.

  • Minor Overlaps/Additions: While most of the syllabus aligns, JEE Main sometimes includes a few concepts or deeper applications (especially in complex numbers, differential calculus, and some physics derivations) that extend slightly beyond the direct NCERT text, requiring extra practice.

  • Chemistry Exception: Physical and Inorganic Chemistry are almost 100% covered by NCERT. For Organic Chemistry, mastering the reactions and mechanisms taught in the NCERT is critical before moving to advanced texts.

You can download the PDF containing the complete, topic-wise JEE Main syllabus to cross-reference with your NCERT chapters here: https://engineering.careers360.com/download/ebooks/jee-main-syllabus . This linkage is your best study guide!

start by finishing the scoring topics in physics, chemistry and maths.. and revise them deeply through examples and pyqs.. spend 60% of ur time on topics that frequently appear in exam and the remaining 40% on weak areas.. give one mock test every week, analyze mistakes and create a revision book as well as formula book to keep revising the formulae and the mistakes.. plan ur schedule one week ahead and plan the concepts u want to study.. keep small milestones and reward urself constantly to maintain ur motivation.

‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ In case you want to have access to the handwritten notes made by the JEE toppers, the most convenient manner is certainly by means of proper platforms which share the study material in a legal way. A good number of toppers have their notebooks uploaded on some educational apps or YouTube channels, and a few coaching institutes may offer compilation notes either for free or upon registration. Also, you can visit official JEE preparation forums where students share their handwritten notes for the convenience of others without any charges.

When you are downloading notes, it is always better to check if the source is trustworthy and the files are genuine because if you take the incomplete or incorrect notes, it will have an impact on your preparation. A more secure choice would be to look at the toppers' plans and brief notes that are written in the form of books or PDFs by the known coaching institutes. Never forget to combine such notes with the questions of previous years and mock tests so that your preparation will be complete. ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌
