Well,I am a student of IIT Delhi in the comp sc branch.

I qualified the \jee 20

05 with AIR 56 in mains and AIR 22 in screening.
As far as my experience was concerned,it was very enjoyable.
No doubt,the syllabus and the jee itself is not the easiest,but if you work hard
in the beginning,it is possible to develop the analytical skills to clear jee v
ery comfortably with a good rank.
I started studying from 11 class itself and fully utilized the 2 years.
It helps if you cam bunk school so that you can not only devote enough time for
the jee prep but also find some time for enjoyment -which will recharge your bat
teries for the day ahead as well.
Dont delay
the start of your prep as the more time you have ,the smooother you can pursue
the completion of your syllabus.
Do join a good coaching center as it gives you the necessary motivation to spend
your time preparin for the jee.Once you get started ,the onus is on you to carr
y on the momentum.
The center I had joined had very bright students who were NTSE scholars(I kind o
f felt very average).But very soon ,I was scoring two-three times of what they w
ere scoring in mock tests and quizzes.
As far as the books are concerned,I used the
following and would recommend the same to you:
Physics:
Start with HC Verma in class 11,and of course your study package.If you find HC
Verma too simple,you can leave it and start with fiitjee study packages.But it
is a good idea to complete part 1 of this book in class 11.
In class 12,you cam start seeing other books,if you feel confident that HC Verma
is too easy for you,start with DC Pandey (problem book) from Arihant Publicatio
ns.The questions are a bit tough so its ok if you can solve 50% of the problems.
If you want to score well in screening,read the ncert once(which you would be fo
r your boards anyway).I dont think there is a need for Irodov.Fiitjee s GMP is als
o a good idea (only after you have revised your syllabus to your satisfaction).
Chemistry:
Again ,the study packages are important.
Physical--P.Bahadur
Organic--Study packages,previous year papers,practice problems at the end of P.B
ahadur
Inorganic--NCERT,Study packages,practice from P.Bahadur and any other problem yo
u can find(focus on 3d series )
Going thru NCERT is very important!
Maths:
Well,besides study packages,TMH is the best book.But it is not everyone s cup of t
ea!
If you find it impossible to crack even 20% of problems,refer to prevoious years
papers and study material of some other institute.You can start with the book i
n class 12.
Solve it completely and 90% on your own,you are ready for any question!

Total:
1.Do join a good test series(Fiitjee is the best I think)
2.Completely solve previous year papers under strict time limit and honestly eva
luate yourself.
3.Test yourself right from class 11 and work on improving your scores regularly.
4.Read the questions very carefully.The questions are tailor made for silly mist
akes.
5.Concentrate on scoring a specified amount of marks if you find the paper diffi
cult(dont expect 170/180!).
Conclusion:
The top ranker usually has a score of 140-150 that is about 80%.
If you completely avoid silly mistakes,it is very easy to get a top 500 rank and
with good effort you can get into top 100 or 50.
No one scores spectacularly in all 3 subjects (AIR 21 has 28/60 in maths jee 200
5!)
Hence concentrate on consistency in all subjects.
Most importantly,stay cool on the day of exam.
Think that you have nothing to lose.
Everyone else is under a lot of stress,make full use of this.
Under a situation of no pressure,your performance will increase drastically.
Dont get unduly affected by the standard of the paper,it is the same for everyon
e.
Once you get into IIT,you still have to work hard at times,but not only is life
very enjoyable,but your future has no limit as far as your success is concerned.
