JEE Main 2026 Session 1 exam is to begin on January 21, 2026. As the exam is less than three months away, it's time to pace up the speed with the right method. Check out our advice and three-month study plan below.
You must now prioritize a three-step focus: Revision, Practice and Consistency. The remaining days can significantly impact results. JEE Main preparation is most effective when integrated with Class 11 and 12 studies, as 90-95 percent of the topics overlap, allowing students to efficiently cover the entire syllabus.
Those who are starting late can follow a three-month plan of JEE preparation starting today. This plan involves focusing on syllabus revision for the first months, shifting to question-solving and detailed error analysis in the second months and finally dedicating the last month exclusively to taking mock tests and solving Previous Year Question Papers (PYQs).
