Make a combined study plan that allots time for all subjects, with an emphasis on the overlapping themes of chemistry and physics, to get ready for both JEE Main and NEET. To comprehend the various patterns of the two exams and enhance time management, master the NCERT textbooks first, then apply the same method of completing last year's papers and taking practice exams.

Hello aspirant,
The first step in preparing for JEE 2027 is to familiarize yourself with the physics, chemistry, and math syllabus and exam format. Using NCERT and common reference materials, concentrate on solidifying your Class 11 topics. Practice frequently and complete 20–30 multiple-choice questions per day. Finish the Class 12 curriculum by 2025, then start taking chapter-by-chapter and practice exams. Starting in 2026, make extensive revisions, work through papers from prior years, and concentrate on strengthening your weak points. Take full-length mocks within the last six months and evaluate your performance. For optimum outcomes, balance school, coaching, and self-study, be consistent, and revise every day.
