A. I first made sure that I was perfect with the basics in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and followed NCERT thoroughly. But reading and referring to NCERT is not enough for JEE Main exam. I found Physics to be easier than Chemistry and Mathematics. I focused on weak points and then moved to easier topics.

Q: Which books did you refer to while preparing for JEE Main 2021 exam?

A. I would suggest the following books:

  • Physics – HC Verma and I.E Irodov
  • Mathematics – Ghanshyam Tiwari
  • Chemistry – MS Chauhan, Neeraj Kumar

Besides this attend all the classes and take help from teachers for any guidance in JEE Main preparation. Also, follow NCERT class XI and XII books for each subject preparation

Q. What is your future plan?

A. I am preparing to appear in JEE Advanced and my future plan is to pursue Computer Science Engineering from IIT Delhi. I I love programming and I draw my inspiration from Elon Musk. 

Q. What will be your message to future JEE aspirants?

A. All the candidates who are appearing for JEE Main must make sure that they should know how to manage time which is the most important thing. They should not stress out and focus on their studies only. If in the first attempt they did not get any good score, it is totally fine. They can try again and give their best shot next time.

Best wishes for your future endeavours!
