Take up the NCERT books and finish them ... then move on to better books like HC verma, Arihant etc.

Another thing ... if you haven't taken coaching for any other reason than financial constraints .... well, its risky. If there are financial constraints ... then work hard and don't stop till its over

All the best

let not being able to arrange travelling affect you from attending an institute if you feel its good! If you feel that the place is good, you must not bother about such things and directly enroll yourself. Because it gives you many advantages like someone to guide you, peer pressure which makes you study regularly and also there are constant tests which help you assess youself and many more! If monetary expenses arent a burden, you must definitely find some travel accomodation immediately if you dont mind going to a coaching institute!

Take a correspondence course from something like BT. A dude frm my state got 25th AIR doing only BT correspondence, without any coaching class.

I also started from april 6th last year. This article was my guide :

IITJEE is too easy

By: raj aryan malhotra (Ex iitian)

IITJEE is the easiest competitive examination

SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE !!!!

Certainly not... Dear Aspirants. Your Problem Ends Now.

Learn a stepwise, systematic approach rather than running after coachings and tuitions. These things may help you but often you tend to over-rely upon them. That is wrong. I never took any coaching, any tuition and was awarded an AIR of 712 in JEE 2002 . Anyway you should take coaching help but don't get overdependent.

1st STAGE(Just after 10th Board)

(For at least surity of JEE clearance i.e. For AIR 1000-3000)

The chief problem with Indian children is that they run without planning to prepare a base. Jumping directly in the FIITJEE and APEX never pays. You won't be able to make any head or tail. Secondly ,you will start taking JEE as something awesome.

BASE PREPARATION

PHYSICS:

H.C.Verma I & II (Repeat it.At least twice or thrice.Just once would not work.)

***** PROHIBITION----- DO NOT TOUCH RESNICK HALLIDAY.NICE BOOK CERTAINLY AND READS LIKE A SCIENCE STORY.YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK TO THE EXTENT OF ADDICTION.BUT I AM STRONGLY WARNING NOT TO STRAY HERE AND THERE.THIS BOOK IS NOT MEANT FOR JEE SPECIFICALLY AND TOO MANY OUT OF SYLLABUS THINGS ARE INCLUDED. BUT,YES,I RECOMMEND PROBLEM SOLVING FROM THIS BOOK.MANY MANY ENJOYABLE PROBLEMS. BUT BETTER YOU DON'T TOUCH IT.

CHEMISTRY----(1) Dr.O.P.Agrawaal (2) RC Mukerjee Physical chemistry

***PROHIBITION------- DON'T EVEN TOUCH COMPREHENSIVE CHEMISTRY OR KRISHNA CHEMISTRY OR ABC . IF YOU ALREADY HAVE BY MISTAKE PURCHASED THESE BOOKS, EITHER BURN THEM OR DISTRIBUTE THEM TO YOUR ENEMIES WHOM YOU DON'T WANT TO CLEAR JEE.

MATHEMATICS --- (1) K.C.Sinha Algebra( & Calculus & Probability)

(2)S.L.Loney Trigonometry & Co-ordinates

(At least thrice ----if possible 4 time . Power of repetition is unlimited )

Must solve ----- (1)S.L.Loney trigo's 206 miscelleneous sums And (2)Questions behind the KCSINHA algebra

PROHIBITION-- ALWAYS MAINTAIN A 50-LIGHTYEAR DISTANCE FROM RS AGRAWAAL MATHS.I HAD WASTED 60 % OF MY PREPARATION PERIOD UPON ORDINARY BOOKS LIKE COMPREHENSIVE CHEM AND RS AGRAWAAL MATHS.YOU GAIN NOTHING AT ALL AND ULTIMATELY END UP CONSUMING YOUR DAYS.

2nd STAGE ( For AIR 500-1000)

Now that you have prepared a good base , it's time to raise the problem solving capacity. Trust my words : If you have dedicatedly prepared the 1st stage, nothing under the sun can prevent you from getting a seat in IITs. Unfortunately many many aspirants don?t understand this simple technique and rush after coachings and tuitions. Let me tell you neither IITJEE is tough competition nor IITians are God. They are as common as anyone else. So I would advise you before taking panic and jumping in the second stage, with full concentration complete the first stage . Only then come in the second stage.

PHYSICS : IRODOV (Assimilate it .REPEAT IT.) Note: Solutions of Abhaya Kumar Singh are available.

*PROHIBITION--- SOME PARTS OF IRODOV LIKE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY IN MECHANICS,LUMINANCE IN OPTICS AND MANY OTHER ARE NOT NEEDED FOR JEE. IN THE FIRST ROUND YOU SHOULD DECIDE GOOD AND NOT GOOD QUESTIONS.TICK MARK THEM .AND IN THE NEXT ROUND NO NEED TO REPEAT OBSOLETE ONES.OUT OF 1900 PROBLEMS ,YOU WON?T NEED FOR MORE THAN 1000 PROBLEMS.

CHEMISTRY-------ARIHYANT ( Physical+Inorganic+Organic)

No need to read any more theories. Just one glance upon them and START SOLVING PROBLEMS in examples and exercise. You have already prepared a strong base in 1st stage. Now the PROBLEM SOLVING SKILL has to be magnified and intensified. You have to add many more dimensions in this skill. You are now above the fear of selection and non-selection. You are already an IITian. So fearlessly go on solving the problems only.

I am emphasizing on problem solving.

MATH------------ Time for T.M.H

( After having solved KCSinha+loney you won?t find it as tough as it is in reality)

3rd STAGE (For Top 100)

Congratulations !!!! For successfully completing first and second stages. You are already entitled in some unknown cosmos to get an under 1000 seat. But you certainly deserve more.

NOW THIS IS RIGOROUS VIGOROUS PRACTICE STAGE.

(1) THREE FITJEE GMPs (Grand Master Package)

(2) APEX MATERIALS

(3) FIITJEE TEST SERIES AND IF MONEY DOES NOT PROHIBIT APEX TEST SERIES ALSO

(4)RANKER TEST PAPER FILES (RTPF)

(5)QUESTIONS GAINED IN COACHINGS AND FRIENDS

(6)IIT MATHEMATICA & IIT CHEMICA

(7)EXERCISES GIVEN AT THE END OF I.L.FINAR(SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE)

(Physics for you series, chemistry today, mathmatics today are not so good and I repent now HEAVILY for wasting my precious time upon such stuffs. No disrespect intended for professors there.) Did you notice I put BIG-BIG APEX FITJEE etc in the third stage while many coachings and tuitions start putting undue stress upon it in the too early stage. Arey Bhai,let them first grow enough to assimilate it.

Study all 3 subjects regularly without laying undue stress on one and leaving other two uncared. Do not dothis. It is dangerous.

Better spend Monday for Physics, Tuesday for Chemistry, Wednesday for Maths and repeat the cycle for Thurs, Fri and Saturday. On Sunday, you MUST revise whatever you studied in last 6 days. REVISION IS A MUST.

One thing I feel I should add in this review. I studied 14 hours a day for mains. So my dear child, be prepared for some really arduous task. IITJEE is not that easy either. Do not take it easily. And do not panic either.

see you have to sacrifice some things in life! Even if its a bit strenous at first, you will be able to cope up with it!

I think most institutes offer a weekend course for 8 hours or something like that! If you want you can join that as well. I mean, if you study on your own, you must find the drive within yourself to do it and it can easily lead to distractions! I have personally seen my friend going haywire after doing really well till class X so its not all that easy to do things on your own! If you get disinterested at one point, then there might be no coming back or something like that which will affect your performance!

After this, i leave it to you.
