Step wise approach to crack IIT - JEE --- An Ex-iitians experience
Learn a stepwise, systematic approach rather than running after coachings and tuitions. These things may
help you but often you tend to over-rely upon them. That is wrong. I never took any coaching, any tuition and
was awarded an AIR of 712 in JEE 2002 . Anyway you should take coaching help but don?t get overdependent.
1st STAGE(Just after 10th Board)
(For at least surity of JEE clearance i.e. For AIR 1000-3000)
The chief problem with Indian children is that they run without planning to prepare a base. Jumping directly
in the FIITJEE and APEX never pays. You won?t be able to make any head or tail. Secondly ,you will start
taking JEE as something awesome.
BASE PREPARATION
PHYSICS:
H.C.Verma I & II (solutions are available.Purchase but do not over-rely upon them. Better have a deep
discussion with your friends and teachers rather than getting dependent over solutions at this very
elementary stage.Repeat it.At least twice or thrice.Just once would not work.)
***** PROHIBITION----- DO NOT TOUCH RESNICK HALLIDAY.NICE BOOK CERTAINLY AND READS LIKE A SCIENCE
STORY.YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK TO THE EXTENT OF ADDICTION.BUT I AM STRONGLY WARNING NOT TO
STRAY HERE AND THERE.THIS BOOK IS NOT MEANT FOR JEE SPECIFICALLY AND TOO MANY OUT OF SYLLABUS
THINGS ARE INCLUDED. BUT,YES,I RECOMMEND PROBLEM SOLVING FROM THIS BOOK.MANY MANY ENJOYABLE
PROBLEMS. BUT BETTER YOU DON?T TOUCH IT.
CHEMISTRY----(1) Dr.O.P.Agrawaal (2) RC Mukerjee Physical chemistry ***PROHIBITION------- DON?T EVEN
TOUCH COMPREHENSIVE CHEMISTRY OR KRISHNA CHEMISTRY OR ABC . IF YOU ALREADY HAVE BY MISTAKE
PURCHASED THESE BOOKS, EITHER BURN THEM OR DISTRIBUTE THEM TO YOUR ENEMIES WHOM YOU DON?T
WANT TO CLEAR JEE.
MATHEMATICS --- (1) K.C.Sinha Algebra( & Calculus & Probability)
(2)S.L.Loney Trigonometry & Co-ordinates
(At least thrice ----if possible 4 time . Power of repetition is unlimited )
Must solve ----- (1)S.L.Loney trigo?s 206 miscelleneous sums And
(2)Questions behind the KCSINHA algebra
PROHIBITION-- ALWAYS MAINTAIN A 50-LIGHTYEAR DISTANCE FROM RS AGRAWAAL MATHS.I HAD WASTED 60 %
OF MY PREPARATION PERIOD UPON ORDINARY BOOKS LIKE COMPREHENSIVE CHEM AND RS AGRAWAAL MATHS.
YOU GAIN NOTHING AT ALL AND ULTIMATELY END UP CONSUMING YOUR DAYS.
2nd STAGE ( For AIR 500-1000)
Now that you have prepared a good base , it?s time to raise the problem solving capacity. Trust my words : If
you have dedicatedly prepared the 1st stage, nothing under the sun can prevent you from getting a seat in
IITs. Unfortunately many many aspirants don?t understand this simple technique and rush after coachings and
tuitions. Let me tell you neither IITJEE is tough competition nor IITians are God. They are as common as
anyone else. So I would advise you before taking panic and jumping in the second stage, with full
concentration complete the first stage . Only then come in the second stage.
PHYSICS : IRODOV (Assimilate it .REPEAT IT.) Note: Solutions of Abhaya Kumar Singh are available.
*PROHIBITION--- SOME PARTS OF IRODOV LIKE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY IN MECHANICS,LUMINANCE IN
OPTICS AND MANY OTHER ARE NOT NEEDED FOR JEE. IN THE FIRST ROUND YOU SHOULD DECIDE GOOD AND
NOT GOOD QUESTIONS.TICK MARK THEM .AND IN THE NEXT ROUND NO NEED TO REPEAT OBSOLETE ONES.OUT
OF 1900 PROBLEMS ,YOU WON?T NEED FOR MORE THAN 1000 PROBLEMS.
CHEMISTRY-------ARIHYANT ( Physical+Inorganic+Organic)
No need to read any more theories. Just one glance upon them and START SOLVING PROBLEMS in examples
and exercise. You have already prepared a strong base in 1st stage. Now the PROBLEM SOLVING SKILL has to
be magnified and intensified. You have to add many more dimensions in this skill. You are now above the fear
of selection and non-selection. You are already an IITian. So fearlessly go on solving the problems only. I am
emphasizing on problem solving.
MATH------------ Time for T.M.H
( After having solved KCSinha+loney you won?t find it as tough as it is in reality)
3rd STAGE (For Top 100)
Congratulations !!!! For successfully completing first and second stages. You are already entitled in some
unknown cosmos to get an under 1000 seat. But you certainly deserve more.
NOW THIS IS RIGOROUS VIGOROUS PRACTICE STAGE.
(1) THREE FITJEE GMPs (Grand Master Package)
(2) APEX MATERIALS
(3) FIITJEE TEST SERIES AND IF MONEY DOES NOT PROHIBIT APEX TEST SERIES ALSO
(4)RANKER TEST PAPER FILES (RTPF)
(5)QUESTIONS GAINED IN COACHINGS AND FRIENDS
(6)IIT MATHEMATICA & IIT CHEMICA
(7)EXERCISES GIVEN AT THE END OF I.L.FINAR(SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE)
(Physics for you series, chemistry today, mathmatics today are not so good and I repent now HEAVILY for
wasting my precious time upon such stuffs. No disrespect intended for professors there.) Did you notice I put
BIG-BIG APEX FITJEE etc in the third stage while many coachings and tuitions start putting undue stress upon
it in the too early stage. Arey Bhai,let them first grow enough to assimilate it.
Study all 3 subjects regularly without laying undue stress on one and leaving other two uncared. Do not dothis. It is dangerous.
Better spend Monday for Physics, Tuesday for Chemistry, Wednesday for Maths and repeat the cycle for
Thurs, Fri and Saturday. On Sunday, you MUST revise whatever you studied in last 6 days. REVISION IS A MUST.
One thing I feel I should add in this review. I studied 14 hours a day for mains. So my dear child, be prepared
for some really arduous task. IITJEE is not that easy either. Do not take it easily. And do not panic either.
**You may take a printout of it. I would request you to take a printout of both of my reviews: IITJEE is too
easy. And Why Medical!!! And distribute their XEROXES to your friends also. Believe me, I have personally at
my own expenses distributed them to 70 juniors of 11th 12th till now who in turn distribute to their friends.
Never be Selfish. God will take extra care of you as He has always done to me. Selflessness is a virtue. Who
knows, by your little carefulness someone?s life may change. Do good whenever you can. I will rather
say: Do good even when you aren?t in position of doing good.
Copy it in a word-document in the computer, save it and take the printout. Ask the Internet Caife Operator
for the help. The Rs. 10 invested will make a huge return. It is too difficult to come to net each time you
need it. Better DO IT NOW.
Procrastination is NOT an IITian Virtue. Be Quick and Swift in Your Actions.
