Browse TestsFor Physics, NCERT Class 11 and 12 are essential for basics. For problem-solving and conceptual depth, refer to 'Concepts of Physics' by H.C. Verma (Vol 1 & 2) and 'Understanding Physics' by D.C. Pandey. For advanced practice, I.E. Irodov is recommended for specific topics.
Candidates must have passed Class 12 or equivalent in 2025, 2026, or be appearing in 2027. There is no age limit. However, for admission to NITs/IIITs, a minimum of 75% marks (65% for SC/ST) in the Class 12 board exam is required.
Paper 1 consists of 90 questions across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Each subject has 30 questions: 20 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and 10 Numerical Value Questions (where you must answer 5). Total marks are 300, with negative marking for incorrect answers.
Chemistry is divided into Physical, Organic, and Inorganic. Focus on NCERT for Inorganic Chemistry. Use O.P. Tandon for Physical Chemistry and M.S. Chouhan for Organic Chemistry practice. Consistency in memorizing reactions and periodic trends is key for a high score.
Mathematics carries 100 marks out of 300. High-weightage topics include Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, Vectors, and 3D Geometry. It is often the lengthiest section, requiring speed and strong conceptual roots in Algebra and Trigonometry.
Start by strengthening Class 11 core concepts like Mechanics in Physics, Mole Concept in Chemistry, and Coordinate Geometry in Maths. Create a 2-year roadmap, maintain consistency, and don't let backlogs pile up. Early starts allow for multiple revision cycles.
Common pitfalls include neglecting NCERT, ignoring Class 11 topics while in Class 12, not taking mock tests regularly, and failing to analyze performance. Over-reliance on too many study materials and neglecting physical health can also lead to burnout before the exam.
Focus on the overlap between the two. NCERT is the foundation for both. Dedicate weekdays to JEE-level problem solving and weekends to practicing subjective Board-style answers. From December 2026, shift focus slightly more toward Board-specific English and optional subjects.
A percentile above 98.5 is generally considered 'safe' for a good branch in a top NIT for General category students. For top-tier NITs like Trichy or Surathkal, aim for 99.5+ percentile, which usually corresponds to a rank under 5,000.
The IIT-JEE Mains 2027 is expected to follow the traditional two-session cycle. Session 1 is anticipated for the last week of January 2027, and Session 2 is likely to occur in the first week of April 2027. Official notifications usually release in November 2026.
