4 Reasons You Should Not Practice From Past JEE Papers
January is when I started practicing from past JEE papers when I was a preparing for JEE. To think back, it was not the best approach. Here are the main reasons why you should not do the past year’s IIT JEE papers. Read on to know what you should do instead.
Easy Questions
Believe it or not, but past year’s JEE questions are now deemed easy. Questions which appeared for the first time in 1990 have standard formulae now and you have practiced hundreds of such questions already. Practicing those questions will not prepare you for JEE 2014.
Question Format
JEE 2014 does not have subjective questions. So why practice them? You have limited practice time and you will only get one chance at cracking JEE. Be smart and focus on the question format that you are going to find in JEE 2014.
Time Format
Time format of the test has also changed over time. You will not get 3 tests of 2 hours each (JEE 2004 format). If you do past year papers with their timer, you are practicing a wrong test format. Don’t do that. Practice for what you will be getting in JEE 2014.
No Comparison With Others
Did you do 18 out of 20 questions in 2009 JEE paper? 15 of them correct? How did the other people perform? Don’t know? Well it is a big problem! On the day of JEE 2014, it will not matter how you did. What will matter is how you did compared to everyone else. You will not be able to know this while doing past JEE papers at home.
So, do I not practice past JEE papers then?
You do. You still need to practice the past JEE questions but in the format that you will get in JEE 2014. More importantly, you want to know how you compare against students all over India. The team at Coach Pal thought a lot about these challenges and came up with the perfect solution.
Keeping these things in mind, we created a test series with all questions from the past JEE papers and converted them to objective format. Next, we reviewed every question to create papers of the same difficulty level as JEE 2014, made up of past 15 year JEE Papers. Add to that the fact that when you take the test series, you compare against students all across India, or your real competition. Link to Test Series
That is what you need to prepare well. And, that is what you get with the Coach Pal Test Series!

Can you crack IIT JEE in 6 months?
Those who think that it's impossible to crack JEE in 6 months, think again. Here is how you can go about it:
Study sincerely - Since you haven’t done much till now, be as sincere as you can for the next 6 months.
Never give up - There is no gain without pain so work hard, be sincere and never give up.
Keep your cool - If you are planning to start now this is essential because there will be stages in your preparation where you might panic but you have to maintain your cool.
Three subjects, so little time! Step 1 is to find books - this post gives you an entire list of books you MUST study inside out for JEE 14. Here is a complete list of the do-or-die chapters if you want to have a shot at JEE 2014:
Physics
Heat and thermodynamics
Electrostatics
Rotational motion
Wave motion
Laws of motion
Magnetic effects of current
Chemistry
General organic chemistry
Alcohol phenol ether
Redox reactions
Chemical bonding
Coordination compounds
P-Block elements
S-Block elements
Aldehyde and  Ketone
Solutions
Solid state
  Maths
Probability
Circles
Definite integration
Vectors
Theory of equations
Complex numbers
Three dimensional geometry
Sequences and series
Matrices and determinants
  Studying sincerely for 3 to 5 months is equivalent to studying not so seriously for 2 years. There is still time for you to prepare for JEE.  Doubts? Ask in comments below.

Interview with Vishwanath Maheshwary
Students preparing for IIT JEE need the “right” guidance. A lot of students work extremely hard but but miss out on smarter ways to study for the IIT JEE from teachers and seniors.
At Unlimited Gyan, we understand its importance and hence, invited Prof. Vishwanath Maheshwary for an interview. Prof. Vishwanath Maheshwary teaches chemistry to ~300 students every year. Vishwanath Sir also records good chemistry video lectures for reference (now, available on Coach Pal for free). Here is what he has to say:
What are the top 3 tips for students preparing for JEE 2014?
Complete the syllabus 6 months before the exam. December would be the right time.
Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Be practical. Don’t think that you can work 20 hours a day. It is not possible.
Hard work in right direction with great mentor is the key to success. Hard work without good mentorship will not get you anywhere.
Any special advice for preparing in the new format?
Focus on, both, Boards and Competitive Exam syllabi. If you love your books, your parents and your mentors, nothing is impossible for you. Try to study an entire subject with a single teacher. Don’t switch teachers mid-way because they have different teaching styles.
How many hours should students study every day?
3-4 hour self study is essential. Regular effort every day will take you a long way to cracking the JEE Exam.
Any other general advice?
Enjoy the questions. Have fun.
Thats all for today, folks! Have questions for Prof. Vishwanath? Comment below for answers. And, don’t forget to look for his video lectures available on Coach Pal.

How to get the most benefit out of a test series?
Early on in your prep, it is extremely important to solve topic wise tests or per-chapter tests (This blog post tells you its importance). Closer to Nov-Dec, join a good online or paper-based test series. Be regular with your test series but spend very little time preparing for these tests.
How to get the most benefit out of test series?
Take Sample Tests as if it were the actual IIT JEE exam:  If the timing for JEE Paper 1 is 9:00 AM – 12:00 noon and JEE Paper 2 is 2:00 PM -5:00 PM, sit for tests each day at 9:00 AM sharp. Between 12:00 and 2:00 PM, check your score for Paper 1. Leave solutions for later. Relax before starting again at 2:00 PM sharp.
Simulate the same environment: Sit at a table in a quiet place, don’t let your parents disturb you. Let your biological clock adjust to the exam schedule.
Check solutions: Go through all solutions for questions you incorrectly answered to. Analyze your weakest and strongest topics. Some online test series websites like Coach Pal, MyPAT, etc do this for you.
Take a break: After the test session, relax for an hour or so. Watch TV. Visit friends. Sleep.
The more sincerely you solve problems, the more your rank is likely to improve. This practice could increase your scores by  10 – 15 %.

What is the success mantra to crack IIT JEE 2014?
We all look up to advice from IITians who have been there, done that. Here is some precious advice from Pankaj Verma who graduated from IIT Bombay (Chemical Engineering) in 2008. Pankaj worked as a Manger at Kotak Mahindra Bank for 4 years before coming back to college for an MBA at FMS, Delhi.
How many hours did you study for IIT JEE everyday?
The preparation requires a lot of hard work and labour so, apart from coaching classes, I generally studied 5-6 hrs on weekdays and 8-9 hrs on weekends. I didn’t start preparing in class 11th when most the people start and hence, I joined Resonance Institute after class 12th. With no school to worry about, I was able to devote plenty of time to IIT JEE preparation.
How did you handle the pressure? What is your advice to students appearing for IIT JEE 2014?
IIT-JEE is a test of your concepts and your ability to apply them. Hence, the key is sound basics and regularly revising important chapters.
Which was the most difficult subject for you? How did you study for it?
Physics and chemistry were difficult for me. You need to remember a lot of formulae and concepts in Chemistry - I had no choice but to mug it up. In Physics, the basics are extremely important. I picked up an H C Verma to understand the basics.
How do I prepare better for the new format?
In the current objective format, the final answer matters the most so learn tricks to get the answer quickly. The old format was tougher in JEE Mains - each step carried a lot of weightage.
If you had to give one piece of advice to students, what would it be?
Just prepare your basics well.
Do you have questions for Pankaj? Ask us!

5 Reasons why you will never get into an IIT?
Dear student,
It is October already and no doubt you are studying very hard. However, just working hard is not going to help you make it through JEE. Here are the top 5 reasons why you will not be able to crack JEE:
Full syllabus tests
Believe it or not, its just October and you do not need full length tests. Chapter wise tests are what is going to give you an edge. Come December, take every full length test you can get your hands on.
Local tests
Have you only been taking tests at your tuition? Take national level tests and know how you are performing at a national level. You will be competing with students from all over India on D-Day.
No timetable
Having no timetable is like walking with your eyes closed. Create a timetable for your revision
Only theory
Have you been focusing more on theory and less on practice? Even God may not be able to help you. From now on, practice topics after reading theory, through mock tests.
No rest
Think you can work 16 hours a day without taking time for exercise or games? Think again - you are undergoing a lot of stress and your body needs rest. Go out and play every day.
Hope you will not commit these mistakes. This article is not meant to discourage you. It is only meant to help you realize the common pitfalls in your way to cracking JEE. These are easily fixable pitfalls and will have a huge impact on your results.
Best of Luck!

Which books should I use to study for IIT JEE, AIEEE, BITS Pilani BITSAT?
Why are books such a big deal? Because studying the right syllabus from the right books can mean getting a rank vs not getting one at all. Here are books and mock test series that Pratik Poddar (AIR 3, 2008) referred to, keeping in mind the syllabus:
Physics:
NCERT
Concepts in Physics by H.C Verma (Two volumes)
Problems in General Physics by I.E. Irodov
University Physics by Freedman and Young or Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker
Aptitude Test Problems in Physics by S.S. Krotov
Chemistry:
NCERT
Numerical Chemistry by P. Bahadur or Numerical Chemistry by R.C. Mukherjee
Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J.D. Lee
Chemistry Principles & Applications by Sienko and Plane
Organic Chemistry by Solomons and Frhyle or Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd
Mathematics:
NCERT
Higher Algebra by Hall and Knight
Problems in Mathematics by V Govorov, P.Dybov, N.Miroshin, S.Smirnova (Edited by A.I. Prilepko)
Trigonometry by S.L Loney
Coordinate Geometry by S.L. Loney
A Course in Mathematics for IIT-JEE by Tata Mc-Graw Hill
Important:
A strict No No to the books by the following publishers: Dinesh, Pradeep, Krishna, Modern's, Arihant, Gupta and Gupta.
Says Abhijit Lavania (AIR 27, 2013), since IIT JEE went online this year, “I also referred to online video lectures by the likes of Khan Academy, Udemy, Youtube channels.Video lectures help you understand and revise topics that you failed to understand in class”.
Do you study from these books and take online video lectures?

Your IIT JEE 2014 strategy: “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” 
Clearing the IIT JEE exam is not easy. In fact, it is going to take extreme amounts of discipline, seriousness and planning to even stand a chance.  No sugar coating whatsoever. If you have not yet begun serious studies, here is a strategy you might want to adopt to clear the JEE Mains, considering that the exam is just a few months away:
Chemistry: Study the NCERT for Chemistry inside out. No exceptions. Rock the board exams with this, clear the JEE Mains and knock out a good 50% chunk for JEE Advanced.
Mathematics: First, find topics you can easily crack. These should be in a typical list:  Vector Algebra, Differentiation, Differential Equations, Maxima/Minima, Probability, Permutations and Combinations, Matrix Algebra and Determinants. Second, solve advanced questions in all these topics.
Physics: H C Verma becomes your new best friend for Mechanics from standard 11. Study from 12th standard books for all other topics.
 All set with Mains, you now have 55 solid days to crack Advanced. Keep revising the NCERT for Chemistry and couple this with tougher problems in Physical Chemistry. Test yourself like there is no tomorrow. Lastly, "Do. Or Do Not. There is No Try."

5 Tips to Tackle IIT JEE Mains
Here are some tips on how to tackle Maths for IIT JEE Mains (previouslym AIEEE):
Study the 11th & 12th NCERT books inside-out - all examples and all practice problems.
If you don't understand a concept, clear it there and then. IIT JEE Videos are very helpful for clearing concepts.
Mark problems you could not solve in the first attempt. Try marked problems in a couple of days, and mark those which still remain unsolved.
Now, switch to Reference Books and Study Materials. Mark and repeat.
Solve previous years IIT JEE Exam Papers. 
Remember to build a Formulae Sheet from all these steps.
Rest assured, IIT JEE is the undisputed mother of all entrance exams. Follow these and you may survive it.
