IIT JAM 2021 PREPARATION TIPS:

Here are a few pointers you should keep in mind while preparing for your IIT JAMS:

• Get well versed with the syllabus- This is the most important part of any preparation. Download the syllabus and paste it somewhere in your room so that you always have an eye on it. Make a checklist beside it and keep ticking the one’s which you do. 

• Solve last year papers- Download or purchase last year papers which is very important because questions generally come from the fixed topics. Read the type of questions, make a list of chapters whose questions come regularly and focus more on them. 
• Clear your basics. It’s very important for you to dedicate a good amount of time to get through all the basic concepts. Study all that you have in your semesters thoroughly.
• Focus on high weightage topics- Once you get an idea then start to focus on those chapters with a high weightage and do questions simultaneously so as to cover each and every possible questions on every topic of that chapter. Don’t waste time on particular chapter too long.
• Practice chapters which are easy that consist more of numericals, because this will help you to score more. 
• The most important thing said by the students who appeared for these tests is that you should also solve the IIT-JEE last year papers (this will surely help you and this is gonna be a magic box for you because the IIT jam level question cannot exceed JEE levels) .Solve this in the month of december or January when you completed your syllabus.
• Practice ,practice , practice, practice .The more you practice questions the better you perform because solving questions helps us to have a clear understanding of that chapter and it also enhances your speed of solving .
• Buy good reference books-You should have a good reference book for your preparations. You can easily find it on google or any IIT websites. 
• If you are not able to understand some topic then go and search on youtube or many IIT or IISC Prof. They’ve uploaded lectures which are quite easy to comprehend. 
• Solve mock tests-   Enroll in any good mock test. Do not underestimate a mock test. No matter how many questions you have solved, you need to give tests to have an idea of where you actually stand and give yourself a chance to improve your weak areas.
• Analyse your mocks properly. It is as important as giving a mock. Analyse why you couldn’t solve questions. Find the reason behind it and work on it. 
• Revise– After covering the whole syllabus of JAM, revise the topics. Keep on revising the topics again and again until a day before the examination. This is an important tip to score well in the examination.

Right preparation with the right guidance on correct time is the most important thing. Take complete rest. Eat healthy, live healthy.
