How to Prepare for JEE Main 2025 in 1 Month JEE Main Sample Papers 2025

One of the major factors in scoring good marks in Physics is the kind of books you get your hands on while preparing for JEE Main. Aspirants need to prepare this section of the exam from the best books for JEE Main. JEE Main Topper and Shiksha expert Aman Goel says, "Sometimes physics can get tougher especially when the questions start getting more and more conceptual. In physics, complexity also increases when concepts of two chapters start getting mixed in a single question. Chapters like electrodynamics are often mixed with gravitation and this causes deadly questions which become too hard to comprehend. It is a subject that is feared by a lot of JEE aspirants and a large number of aspirants give up on physics very soon. Due to the same reason, it is really important to know the difficulty level and weightage of the various topics".

Q:   Is it enough to learn from NCERT textbook to clear JEE Main 2026?
A:

While NCERT books are good to begin the JEE Mains preparation, students should not study only NCERT. As JEE Mains exam is known to test candidates conceptual and analytical skills, and to have all the knowledge that would help in achieving a good score, candidates must also refer other study materials as recommended by teachers to prepae for the exam.

Q:   Are NCERT books enough to prepare for JEE?
A:
The NCERT books alone are not enough to crack JEE because they will give knowledge only in concepts and make you understand that But only if you solve some JEE level problems you may get the real feel of JEE exams. The previous year papers help you with this. Also, do the mock tests if you are going to choose computer based test. There is myth that pen and paper is easy that computer based. Actually it is true but the real fact is pen and paper is not lengthy as the candidates need to deal with OMR whereas in CBT the papers will be little lengthy as you need to just make a click. So focus on whatever you read and solve many problems. If you can then join better join a good IIT coaching center.
Q:   Which chapters are important in Physics Chemistry and Mathematics for JEE Main exam?
A:
Candidates can check here the important chapters for JEE Main Physics Chemistry and Mathematics Physics Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism (Equal importance) Modern Physics Optics Heat and Thermodynamics and Waves Sound Measurement and errors Chemistry Gaseous State Chemical Kinetics Organic Chemistry Reactions of Benzene Ores and Metallurgy Thermodynamics Polymers Environmental Chemistry Mathematics Algebra Trigonometry Analytical Geometry Differential Calculus Integral Calculus Vectors.
