Can students share their experience with JEE Main?

Sofia

I want to learn from students who have already prepared for or appeared in JEE Main.
What was your experience, preparation method, difficulty level, and final advice?

My experience with JEE Main preparation was challenging but very helpful for improving discipline, time management, and problem-solving skills. In the beginning, understanding concepts and managing all three subjects together felt difficult, but regular practice and consistency slowly improved confidence. I mainly focused on NCERT books, daily practice questions, mock tests, and previous years’ papers to strengthen my preparation. The difficulty level of the exam is moderate to high because questions are concept-based and time management plays a very important role during the exam. One thing I learned is that revision and mock test analysis are just as important as studying new topics. My final advice for beginners is to stay consistent, avoid using too many study materials, focus on understanding concepts clearly, and never lose confidence because regular practice and discipline can make a big difference in JEE Main preparation.

I prepared for JEE Main with a simple focus on building strong basics first instead of rushing into advanced problems. In the beginning, I struggled with consistency and managing all three subjects together, but once I started following NCERT properly and practicing topic-wise questions daily, things became more structured. The exam itself felt more about speed and accuracy rather than extremely tough concepts, so regular mock tests and analysis of mistakes made a big difference. If I had to give one advice, it would be to stay consistent, revise regularly, and avoid collecting too many resources—just stick to a few good ones and practice them properly until you gain confidence.

When I was preparing for JEE Main, I initially thought it would be very tough, but with the right strategy it became manageable. The exam is not extremely difficult in terms of concepts, but it tests how well you can apply them under time pressure. My preparation method included strong focus on NCERT for Chemistry, H.C. Verma for Physics, and regular practice from Cengage for Maths, along with solving previous year papers. I also joined a mock test series, which helped me understand my weak areas and improve accuracy. The biggest mistake I made early on was ignoring revision, which later I corrected by making short notes for each chapter. My final advice is simple: don’t run behind too many books, instead revise the same topics multiple times and practice mock tests seriously.
