Toppers’ Tips for JEE Mains 2026: Students aiming to crack JEE Mains 2026 must be well aware of the previous year’s topper’s strategy. Since these JEE Main toppers' strategies are designed to help score well, following them can help you achieve your desired score too. Therefore, understanding how JEE Main toppers create their study plans during the preparation period can greatly benefit your preparation.
24 students scored 100 percentile in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025. Among the top scorers, two were girls. Seven candidates from Rajasthan and three from Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh each secured the top ranks.
Om Prakash Behera, who secured AIR 1 in JEE Mains 2025, stated to Careers360 in an exclusive interview, “NCERT books are the best for preparation. Most of the questions are from the NCERT Class 11 and 12 syllabus. Besides, I devoted almost 16 hours daily to get the rank in the JEE Main exam.”
Another JEE Main topper, Shaksham Jindal, mentioned his preparation strategy in an interview with us. He spent his last month solving the previous year's question papers and suggested to JEE Main 2026 aspirants to work on managing the 3 hours of examination. Only then can they score good marks. Further adding, he dedicated around 14-15 hours to studying every day.

Our next JEE Main topper, Rajit Gupta, states in the interview that ‘happiness is the key to my success’. While preparing for the JEE Main exam 2025, he tried his best not to repeat the mistakes. He says, “I believe the foundation of subjects becomes strong only when mistakes are removed”. He also added that he avoided unnecessary pressure by studying only when he felt like studying.
JEE Main 2025 topper, Harsh Rawat, has revealed in the interview that he has invested 12-13 hours in study daily. He also added that practising multiple JEE Main mock tests, sample papers, and questions from previous years helped him crack the exam. And he made sure to do revisions daily
Arnav Singh, another JEE Main 2025 topper, stated that he would take his homework very seriously and complete it after his classes every day. He further adds that “having doubts and clarifying them increases one’s grip on the topic.” Arnav’s mantra of success is ‘regular hard work’.
Our next JEE Main 2025 topper, Ahmad Shayan, believes that” right mentorship and guidance give an extra edge for a national-level exam like JEE Mains”. He has gone through thousands of mock tests while preparing for the exam. At the end of the interview, he adds, “The right teacher will tell you whether you should focus on high-weightage chapters or complete the entire syllabus based on your abilities.”
Amidst all the preparation and study hours, students are advised to take a break from the monotonous routine to keep up with the momentum. Even our JEE Main toppers stated that they took breaks from their busy schedule to de-stress. Some took time to talk with their family members and played every Sunday with their friends. Also, they took time to enjoy their hobbies now and then. Further, they practised yoga for 10-15 minutes, to relieve themselves from the everyday study routine. Therefore, while preparing for the JEE Mains exam, students must prioritise a balanced routine between study and rest. Only then can students keep up the pace and concentrate more on their studies.

Hello,
You can get the JEE 2025 Syllabus from this link : JEE Main Class 12th Syllabus 2026
Hope it helps !
Hello,
You cannot "renew" your September 2025 certificate. You must apply for a completely new EWS certificate after April 1, 2026.
EWS certificates are linked to a specific financial year.
Your certificate issued in September 2025 is valid for the financial year 2025-26. It is based on your family's income from the previous financial year (i.e., 2024-25).
The certificate required for JEE counselling in mid-2026 must be valid for the financial year 2026-27. This certificate must be based on your family's income from the financial year 2025-26 and must be issued on or after April 1, 2026.
Since they are based on two different income periods, they are considered completely different documents.
Hope it's helpful to you.
Hi! Don’t worry, you can correct your category this year while filling out the JEE Main 2025 application form. If you belong to BC/OBC category and have the valid caste certificate, you can apply under OBC NCL now. It will not be a problem if last year you had applied as General/EWS, since each year’s application is considered separately.
OBC NCL is for candidates from socially and educationally backward communities (non creamy layer) with income below 8 lakh, while EWS is for students from the general category (not SC/ST/OBC) with family income below 8 lakh. Since your family income is less than 2 lakh and you are BC, applying under OBC NCL is the right choice and will give you reservation benefits.
Hello,
To get below AIR 100 in JEE Advanced 2027, you need a strong and focused plan. Here’s a simple guide:
Clear Concepts : Make sure all NCERT basics are strong. Focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Maths concepts deeply.
Advanced Practice : Solve previous years’ JEE Advanced papers and high-level questions from books like HC Verma, I.E. Irodov, OP Tandon, and Cengage.
Regular Mock Tests : Take full-length tests every week. Analyse mistakes and improve weak areas.
Time Management : Learn to solve questions quickly and accurately. Work on speed and accuracy together.
Short Notes : Make notes/formulas for quick revision.
Consistency : Study daily and avoid long breaks. Consistent practice is key.
Focus on Weak Areas : Identify topics you struggle with and spend extra time on them.
Stress Management : Stay healthy, sleep well, and avoid last-minute panic.
If you follow a structured plan and stay consistent, AIR below 100 is achievable.
Hope it helps !
