Below is the month-wise JEE Main preparation plan for candidates who aspire to appear in the upcoming JEE Main examination.
Aspirants planning to take the exam this year would have finished their preparations months ago. However, there might be a certain bunch of students who would rely on the last few days to prep up their exam strategies. As the April and May edition of JEE Main 2021 has been postponed with no clarity on new dates, it’s important for students to utilize each day effectively. Though, it all depends on person to person in context with acumen and pace of the student. Below is a month-wise study plan to help students who have just kicked off their preparation for JEE Main and will be taking the exam along with their board examinations.
Latest: JEE Main 2021 April and May exam postponed due to COVID-19; new dated to be announced later.
May Month: Approx 30 days
It is recommended that students must complete the syllabus of JEE Main. This will be beneficial for both the examinations as they have to take care of boards along with JEE Main.
